I would say 99.99% it is the mpg file that the camera produces, but to test
things like memory you need specialist tools or download programmes.

Hello

My camera is a digital camera, not video. The files it produces are mpg
files. I do manage now from time to time to make a film, add music, titles
etc but on a regular basis it still throws me out, not sure what it causes
it. We've tried different hings, like changing the filters in the options
menu.

With regards to the memory, I don't know this for sure of course, as I am
indeed illeterate, but I bought a really expensive laptop with special
gaming, video, multimedia and whatsoever tools which I never use, so I'm
hardly using the capacity of my laptop, so I'm assuming it can't be a
memory
problem, but maybe you can tell me how I can check this?

thanks
KR

First advice is to always open your own thread with your own question, as
doing it this way can mean it often gets lost.
By Sony cmaer, do you mean stills camera that takes video?
If so the files it produces will not be compatible with movie maker and
this
will cause the crash.
See this page,

Out of interest, if you are computer illiterate, how do you know it is
not a
memory problem?

dear all

I've only recently started using windows movie maker and am at my first
'project' to reate a film. I've managed finally the digital files from
my
Sony camera onto my computer and have imported them into windows movie
maker.
But once I start creating the storyboard, the program crashes. It is
not
a
memory porblem of my laptop so I'm not sure what causes this and how I
can
resolve it.

Apart from using software, I'm completely computer illeterate. Please
bear
this in mind when you give me advice.

I hope you can help me

kind regards
KR
