I refer to my first post, but then again, there is probably no point as I

Hi, everyone:

I installed all the different codes and none of them works in MM. It
crashed
my McAfee and I have to reformate the hard drive and reinstall everything.
Too bad!! But I found another MOV to AVI conversation program - Pazera
Free
MOV to AVI http://www.pazera-software.com/products/mov-to-avi-converter/.
It
convert the MOV to AVI and Mpeg format. I converted the MOV file to AVI by
choosing different codes to check which one MM recongnizes and what
resolution the converted file has. The best one that I found is "MPG ->
PAL
(DVD) or NTSC (DVD)" options. I import the mpg file to MM and create a
perfect project. Just want to share my experience. It's a very fustrated
experience to deal with MM in Vista environment. But at least, I get it
done.

Lots of avi files though, even if you have the right codec installed,
will
not work in Movie Maker.
Unfortunately xvid is one of those that rarely works in MM, so your best
bet
is to convert the file to a wmv adn then use it.

Graham, I downloaded GSpot and the video was Xvid, and right at this
time
the
codecs on the PC are XVid. The software says 'Codes Installed' both
for
audio
& video..

Hello Graham, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, i have used a program to find out the codec, and
installing
these codecs did not work.

The problem is not about finding the right codec. I have the right
codecs.
If the codecs were not right, i wouldn't be able to watch them in
Windows
Media Player. The problem is that Windows Movie Maker does not show
them.

Tried every single codec out there on the internet, each and every
one
of
them show the avi video in Windows Media Player 11 but Windows Movie
Maker
does not. It's so clear that this is an issue with the new Movie
Maker
software, but how to fix it?

I don't get why Windows lacks support of avi in its products.. I'm
using
Windows operating systems since i was a teenager, i'm now 38 and on
each
install I had the avi-not-showing surprise. Downloading a simple
program like
ffdshow shows each and every avi file out there on the whole
internet,
but
Windows products lack support of it.

* I have "myvideo.avi" on both my Win XP computer and Laptop with
Vista
64.
* I have the same FFDShow codecs on both PC's.
* Media Player on both PC's show that video without any single
problem.

* Movie Maker old version on computer with Win XP shows the avi
video.
* Movie Maker new version on computer with Vista 64 does not - the
same
avi
video.

The problem is with the new Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium 64
bit.

As there are well over 800 different avi file types, you need to
find
out
which one you have and install just the codec for that one.

installed,

not work in Movie Maker.
avicodec will tell you what codec is required and if you have it
on
your
system

Hello,

Movie Maker in Vista 64 bit won't play avi files no matter what.
I was working with Movie Maker in XP without any problems, but
version 6.0
in Vista doesn't show video, i hear only the audio..

Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bit English
Movie Maker 6.0.6000.16386
Vaio Laptop w/ core2duo T5800 2.0ghz w/3gb ram
Intel GM45 graphics

I have tried:
*Almost all versions of FFDShow, including beta versions and x64
versions
*Klite codec pack
*Divx codes
*Xvid codecs
*Vista Codec pack
*No codec (!)

+

disabling / enabling Avi Decompressor under "Tools -- Options --
Compatibilty" in Movie Maker..

Some people on forums tell to choose another decoder on this
filters list,
but "Avi Decompressor (c:\windows\system32\quartz.dll)" is the
one
and
only
filter whatever i do..

I also downloaded the Microsoft Hotfix here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/945125/en-us , and
was
thinking
i'm finally so close to a solution to the problem, but the
hotfix
didn't
install, telling "the update doesn't apply to my system". It was
the
correct
one probably, i chose x64 version of that hotfix but it did not
install.
Probably because my graphics chipset is not the one in the
list..
But the
symptoms are the same.

Any solutions?
