codecs for moviemaker?

[Guest]

According to my video card company, ATI Radeon, the new drivers installed
new codecs and replaced some others.. that is why Moviemaker can no longer
open certain files. They suggested I hunt down the old codecs and try to
install them. Does anyone have a list or know of a website where I can
download the ORIGINAL set of codecs for XP SP2?

What are the file extensions for the files that MovieMaker cannot open?

Use system, restore to a point before the addition of the card?

open known good mpg files in mplayer2.exe (open this from the RUN
box)
in the screen right click and slect properties. Amongst the info in
there are the filter being used. Repeast this with the "bad" mpg and
compare.
