i have a project i am making with Power Director 4 (i am using xp, with service pack 2), and i keep getting this message when i try to preview my project:

Media Source Error
Power Director failed to construct the media source as a graph. This may be due to a lack of decoding filters for the file you are trying to edit.

as best as i can describe, this is when i get it...

when i first open up the program, if i try to preview my project, it lets me, no problem. if i add a file, transition, or title to the project, it will let me preview it. if i add more than one or two files to the project and then try to preview it, i get the error message.

once i get the error message, i will exit out of the program, then start it up again, and i have to go through the same thing.

it's taking me forever to get anywhere, because i have to close and restart the program over and over and over.

what can i do to get rid of the error?

Hello!
I am having the same problem, trying to resolve the issue with technical support.I am using win xp media center, xp2 pack.there seems to be an incompatibility in several peripherals.went to the registry, removed everything and re-installed and it did not get better.If you have a better idea, please let me know...I am very very patient but my lack of sleep over this makes me feel very frustrated for the moment.best,
