Movie Maker can't find Codec

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

I recorded a clip with my TwinhanDTV Ter PCI card. Format
is mpg (I guess DVB-T mp2 style). I can play the movie with
Media Player 10 w/o any problems (and it shows "CyberLink
DTV Video Decoder" as Codec in the properties).
But when I try to import the clip into Movie Maker it shows
an error message, that the Codec is missing and the clip
can't be imported.
Any sugestions?

MM does not work well with mpegs, look for a convertor and change it to an
avi file
