I deliberately created my own profile, and the downloadable profiles
do not work either... I think we are communicating just fine.
That said, you did post a more helpful explanation of the avi
extention and how to import it. But, from the article:
"Motion JPEG files, such as those recorded by Canon's TX1 hard drive
camcorder and their PowerShot cameras (such as my model SD750), also
have AVI extensions. Movie Maker should be able to use them without
downloading another codec."
I have a Canon Powershot A570 IS. I believe this quote applies to
me, since after analyzing my avi file with GSpot v2.10a, it said the
video codec is MJPG and audio codec is "PCM Audio". Recall that I
have no issues with video in Movie Maker. For audio, where my
problems are, GSpot says "no codec required" and uses "Default
DirectSound Device".
The other link says Movie Maker versions up to 2.1 can have problems
with some avi file types including mine, MJPEG. The specific MJPEG
issues, whatever they may be, were not explained. First article I've
seen calling this out, so thanks for that link. As a last resort,
I've even toggled on and off the video filters from Canon and Nero
that Movie Maker may be using to no avail. I do not understand why
the app struggles with the audio part.
The issue remians unresolved, but your links (a few of which I missed
in my own searches) have helped me learn alot. Thanks for that.
The point I was tying to make at the end of my last post is that this
software, while free, may not achieve the ease-of-use intended for
many avi folks (i.e. those using a variety of Canon video capture
devices). This file type, while perhaps not the most popular, should
simply drop in and play without significant quality degradation. It
should not require users to become quasi-experts in video editing,
compression, codecs, filters and file formats.
I welcome any other ideas.

Thanks for the explanation but I
can't think of a solution for you.
Good luck.
