Exporting issues

Hey all, I'm having an issue exporting my work. for smaller clips it works fine as long as they are in a web pixel rate (320x240). The problem is when I expand it to the NTSC pixel rate (720x540). For clips that are short (under 20 seconds), there is a big lagtime between the movements (especially the mouth movements) and the audio, even though it is synced up perfectly in the timeline. For my latest clip (which runs about 70 seconds), it will not run at all on windows media player or quicktime player. Is there something else I should be doing?

Check which codec you use. Some of the uncompressed codes will not play smoothly on your machine.

Usually you choose something like "uncompressed 4:2:2" or "PNG" only for archive files or for high quality files which go ito another program, like a video editor.

For fast playback, try "MPEG-4".

Thanks, I was able to export in .mov format using those codecs, But the codecs for the .avi format dont seem to do much good at all, there are no options like MP-4 and I would like to be able to use these clips for editing on windows movie maker, which doesnt work with .mov files

Okay just an update, I was able to make an .avi that ran in the NTSC format and worked on windows media player using the cinepak codec by radius. Only problem is when I import it into windows movie maker, only the audio shows up, no video. kidn of threw me off because it worked on windows media player I figured it would work on windows movie maker. I guess not. Do I have to download a codec specifically for windows movie maker? Or is there some sort of in between program I should be using to get the video to a format where I would be able to use windows movie maker?

The world of codec's is confusing!
