Appreciate your thoughts - I love Duct Tape Marketing for non-profits and for churches. Just like small business, this sector is often negligent and often wreckless with marketing dollars because they are not basing their decisions on a sound marketing foundation. So "little things" like tracking get overlooked and they have no way of knowing true ROI. So copycat marketing becomes the norm. Down here in Texas, we get postcards every single day from a church in the area. Very little tracking mechanisms built in. Be well brother! -Randy Michael,

With Pinnacle Studio 14 it definitely seems to be a "pre-rendering" and post rendering thing. If I leave the file to render in the background it then plays fine. Bu pre-render has all kinds of weird artifacts. The final video comes out ok though. Check out my video at the main page of this blog with Lesa Snider. Its is not HD (I'm using Vimeo) but looks fine.

Glad your Windows 7 upgrade went well though. I think it is a pretty good operating system for the most part. I am working with a Powerbook Pro 17″ for the moment and it is quite nice I must admit!

Microsoft only does upgrades on the Vista Pro to 7 Pro, so mine was a clean install which is not for the faint of heart. This caused me to re-install all my applications. Last week I also got my first Mac, the 24" iMac. Now I'm learning to think different. I can even use the Microsoft Remote Desktop from my iMac to login and run my Windows 7 Pro laptop, kind of cool. I'm loving the 24" display however my 17" laptop now looks puny in comparison. OK, I couldn’t resist and upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit from Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.

I did discover that there are a series of drivers around Nvidia's NForce motherboard. I believe that is the manufacturer of my motherboard. Anyway, I downloaded the package. When I get a moment I'll check it out. Hi Justin. I did discover that there are a series of drivers around Nvidia’s NForce motherboard. I believe that is the manufacturer of my motherboard.

I'm curious if you were able to figure out if it was the driver or another issue?

I do have Vista 64 bit on my laptop but am not attracted enough to Windows 7. Maybe if a web client starts using Windows 7 then I can upgrade. Thanks for sharing the experience.
