Okay - so I have version 2.0. I have all the codecs I need, and everything
will read in the viewer if I add to timeline. But when I start making a
movie (with just pictures) and try to play it back onthe timeline, the viewer
is blank. What can I do to fix this problem!?! Help please! I know this
has been a similar problem with other people, but my video, pics, etc all are
read by the viewer, just not when I'm trying to play back a movie. If it is
a possible codec problem, which one might it be and I'll download it ASAP!

Try converting the JPG's to BMP's and see if the problem persists.

I have tried that and I get the same problem. My thought is that maybe it's a
codec problem? since the viewer will show the pics or videos I'm using when
dropped and dragged or sent to timeline, just not when I try to play back.
Thing is, I think I have all the codecs 'cause when I copaired them to my
bro's (where everything works fine) we seem to have the same codecs in the
system. If there is a package of codecs that may be helpful, where might I
find it?
Ever see this problem before? I'm a bit frustrated and dissapointed.

I have seen the problem before but it is usually due to JPG's, MPG's, or
MP3's being used.
It could very well be a codec problem even if you and your brother seem to
have the same codec's installed you could have a bad codec or corrupt codec.
The best source for 100% tested and known good codec packages that I know of
is here:

Hope that helps.
