I have a smugmug pro account. I am using a Sony HD Handycam. I am using Power Director to produce and render my videos.

I recently decided to start rendering my videos in .WMV. I get the best performance and smallest file size from this. Power Director has an option to render in Windows Media Player 9 HD format. So I did and the video looks great. It uploaded fine to my smugmug page. But now it will only show the video in High-Def mode. If you click on Mid-Def, Wed, DVD, etc. it shows a still shot of an initial frame, plays the sound but shows no video. It appears to have been converted to an .MP4 by smugmug and that only the High-Def option actually uploaded video. The others only took the sound.

Strange.

Here is a link to the video so you can see what I mean:

I need to have the other display options available so that I can embed the video on a forum I administrate.

Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Can it be fixed?

Any help is much appreciated.

I hope that's a good thing :D .

Maybe there was an error when I uploaded it. I can try again later tonight.

I finally got the video put together, produced and redered so that it is crystal clear with no combing, shaking or framerate problems. Now this. :cry

Your help is much appreciated.
