Windows Movie Maker and MPeg
« on: March 27, 2006, 12:44:10 PM »
When I import Mpeg videos from my DVD camcorder it loads the audio but no video...

Should I try and capture it directly from the camcorder instead of going through Sony's software?

Try downloading the video from camcorder to a folder first, then drag and drop the video on the VIDEO timeline within Movie Maker.

I found so many limitations with MM that I too became frustrated and finally forked out the bucks for decent movie editting software.

Oh, you want the Sony special effects that you've created using Sony software, and import into Windows Movie Maker? Good luck!

It should. I had no problems with my Panasonic Mini-camcorder when I used Movie Maker. Is this MM2.0? You're using WinXP, right? It should accept it. If nothing else,  go get yourself ConvertMovie. It costs something like $19.95 (off the www). Then you convert it to any format you want.  Incidently, the effects in Movie Maker will make you laugh if you ever spend alittle money for good movie making software. ;)
