yeah it says "unrecognized exception" in red on a black screen.

Okay, that's not a problem with WMP, it's a problem with your AVS file. Usually when I get that error, it means I've typed something wrong somewhere and need to fix it, but it could mean a whole bunch of things...

ok I made the .d2v file and named it matrix.d2v so i opened notepad and typed
MPEG2Source("C:\matrix.d2v")

am I doing that wrong?

No, that looks good, assuming you've got the mpeg2dec plugin.

Hi all. I need some time to kill while waiting for my two weeks to come up. It's nice to be here. Just one question, and I probably overlooked the answer: what application to use to create the amv? I hope someone says Flash or Dreamweaver because I hate seeing two great applications getting unused...

I've never seen a Flash AMV before.

Most people around here use Adobe Premiere, Windows Movie Maker, Final Cut Pro/Express, Ulead Video Studio, Magix Movie Maker, Cinelerra, or something similar.

I take that back. I've just been introduced to this bit of incredibly wrong humor:

Ah, yes. Soon as I stood on my feet this morning, I thought, Wait, you can't use Flash because those create .swf files! No more need to answer. Although I do wish it could be done with either two apps I mentioned.

Parts of this were done with Flash.

oh I'm such a terrible person

You _can_ theoretically use Flash to create an AMV...it just would be a little hard.
