I'm using movie maker 6.0 and I'm able to edit and publish a movie.
When I play the movie in powerpoint 2003 it hangs up. I've tried a
dozen different video clips, each video downloaded from you-tube
plays fine in powerpoint before editing and publishing them. The
stopping point differs in each video, they don't stop at the same
point in time.

Sometimes in movie maker I have the same problem when I try to play a
video that has been edited, the video will freeze and the sound may
continue.

I've already downloaded the essentials codec pack.

Help please with any suggestions.
=================================================
Sounds like your clips are not fully compatible
with Movie Maker. Have you tried converting
to.wmv before you import them?

Maybe Windows Media Encoder would be useful:

How do I convert other video file formats to WMV?

Also...if you are adding .mp3 music files...
convert them to .wma:

How to convert .mp3 to .wma
using Windows Media Encoder

Open Windows Media Encoder

On the New Session screen / Wizards tab...
choose...Convert a file / OK

On the File Selection screen...browse to the
..mp3 Source File you wish to convert

Also browse to and select a save folder and
enter a name for your converted file /
Save button / Next

On the Content Distribution screen I usually
choose 'File Archive' / Next / Finish.

When you see the 'Encoding Results' screen
the task is complete.
