I am trying to make movies for viewing on computer only – not for TV or DVD. I am having your exact problem and I can’t figure it out. The funny thing is, the original captured AVI files do not show the black bars. I only get them when I render to WMV, with the ‘Stretch to fit’ option turned OFF.
When I turn the stretch option ON the WMV files do not have the black bars, but the image is subtly stretched out of proportion horizontally. I can tell because the lettering on my text frames is horizontally distorted.
If I render my video back to AVI there are no black bars on the sides. This implies that the original DV format is not the true proportions of the image. And maybe the WMV template is trying to correct that by compressing the width of the image to its true proportions. ????
So what gives? Which template will render a DV movie to its true proportions for computer viewing?
Thanks anyone!

I have been capturing DV via standard Sony Firewire and saving to an external hard drive using USB 2 simultaneously. No problems so far. It may be a little slower than saving to my local drive – but my local drive is full with other stuff.

Silly me! I should have known. I was in total panic trying to make a deadline.

…but who knew they could actually end up completely hidden from view? Throw me a curve ball why don’t you!

Wait a minute… you mean the Windows ‘toolbar’. I could not shrink it until I deselected ‘Lock toolbar’ on the right click menu. Now I found my text editor, just like you predicted.
God Almighty! I was going crazy. Thanks ever so much friend.

I’m having the same problem. If I click the green button icon in a text event – nothing happens. If I right click it and select ‘Edit..” nothing happens. Where is the text editor window???? Heck I can’t even get the text window to open when I first drag and drop a text event to the timeline. It used to work but now I don’t get any editing window at all. It has totally disappeared! help!
