Importing Video with Movie Maker 2.0 (Import Video)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

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

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
