When I import a home mpeg video I get only the sound, absolutely no video. I can watch the video with Windows Media Player.

Thanks

If it's a dvd movie then you need another mpeg decoder installed on the pc,
such as powerdvd.

I have the same problem
can we have more info on how this will solve the problem ?

Does PowerDVD contains codecs that will help MM to read the video track ?
or will we have to convert our dvd files to mpg using Power DVD before
importing them in MM ?

thanks

Ooops, skim reading two question and answering them both wrong, sorry.....

Dvd files are mpeg2 files. To be able to view them in WMP you need the likes
of powerdvd to supply the codec to watch it. It has nothing to do with MM.
It depends on which codec was used to make teh file to be able to import in
to MM, it is always best if you can to use .AVI files. So first thing I'd
suggest is to convert the mpeg to an avi and see if that works.

I too am having problems importing my video into Movie Maker. I first
received a message saying it was an 'unsupported file format' so I figured
out how to change the video to avi. Now the message is that I have the
'wrong codec' to play the file so it wont import it. I have DivX codec but
that doesnt seem to help. How can I find out what codec the computer
requires?
