I cannot view the movie in the preview screen while the timeline is playing.
I can hear it, and the bar is moving down the timeline when i hit play,
however the preview screen/monitor is blank. when i save the movie and play
in wmp i can see and hear the movie. Editing is difficult when u can't see
what u r doing!
Is this a memory issue?

No, it's probably a codec issue.

The cure for your nightmare is to download the G-Spot codec identifier and
see what the files are really encoded with!

Yep, this often happens when you try to edit mpegs, which MM doesn't like.

I captured them with firewire from panasonic mini dv cam. chose both the
recommended option as well as the avi option - both have same result. Do i
perhaps have too many codecs installed? or not enough? gspot says n.a to
both avi and wmv files, and says there are 130 video codecs installed.

If you have installed a codec pack, some of these come riddled with spyware.
It may be a problem you have. Try running adaware/spyware
blaster/spybot/cwshredder.

Has MM ever worked or has it always been like this?

I would try that yes. Did you run the other adware/spyware apps, they all
detect different ones and need to be used together.

I've uninstalled the codec pack - i now have 30 codecs instead of 130 - and
it seems to have worked. i can now see the clips in the preview screen.
however gspot is still saying n.a to codecs. but at least mm is now
workable, thanks for your help
