Can you explain what to do with Haali Media Splitter & ffdshow? I'm having trouble understanding what they have to do with the QT version? Do you know what QT version is needed for Ableton?

<p>I have bought Ableton Live Suite but I cannot create a video from an audio track. Is it even possible? The create video functionality is greyed. Do I need to install some code or something?</p>
