Movie Maker lost the abiliy to capture in DV-AVI from a camcorder



Windows Movie Maker has lost the ability to capture video from a DV camcorder
in DV-AVI format. The DV-AVI selection is now grayed out and not available.
It worked when last used about 1 month ago.

Rebooting windows does not help. Windows automatic update is on. Movie
maker automatic codec download was off. I turned on automatic codec download
and imported an AVI video file on the computer without fixing the problem
although from the wait before starting the import I suspect a new codec was
loaded.

The operating system version is Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 service
pack 2. Movie Maker is version 2.1.

How do I restore the ablilty to capture camera video in DV-AVI format?
