Hmm... it sounds like the video did not get created properly for some reason.  Did you download the Video Creator from Slideroll.com, and are you running version 0.90b?  You can see the version number in the upper right-hand corner of the program when you run it.

What operating system are you running?  Windows or Mac, and what version?

I'm having similar issues as noted above.  I've created a show, and am using video creator.  I add the MP3, and it starts capturing the video.  When I get around 60% captured, the progress bar stops updating, and it's like the CPU is maxing out on my PC.  If I click on the window and drag it, then the status updates, but stops once I release the window.  I'll do this until the capture is complete, and then the encoding runs.  At the save screen, when I click to save the file, the browse window that pops-up is not viewable (I get the blue title bar and the right and left side slightly, but no content, rest of box is tranparent to the background).  I can't save it, and it won't play either.  Do I need a different version of Flash, or are there any other ideas.  I need to get this video done by Saturday, and I'm running out of time!!!

That's perplexing.  It does sound like it's maxing out your CPU.  Regardless, it should not require you to click on the app, nor should it continue to chug after the capture is complete.  Capturing and encoding video is a CPU intensive task, but it should be done by the time you save.

May I ask what version of Windows you are running, and how much memory you have on your computer?  Also, are you running the latest version, downloaded from Slideroll?  Version 0.90b is the latest.  You can see the version number in the top right hand corner of the screen when you run the application.

Also, how long is the song you are adding?  And, about how many slides are in your slideshow?  If you can let me know the name of the slideshow, I can try it from here.  Also if you want to e-mail the music track for me to try, I can try to replicate your setup exactly.  [email protected]

Thanks!
