First of all.... thanks for answering my post !! I have a digital 8
camcorder and files go in as .wma files. don't think I've made any
significant changes to my computer recently. It is running slow lately & I'm
sure I could use more RAM. I used "end it all" to close all running programs
to see if that would help - no help. These video clips play normally on all
other programs and on the timeline....but it's hard to edit there as I often
record out of sequence and must rearrange pieces of the clips ALOT! I will
check my graphics card for proper driver but i have a feeling that isn't the
issue as the clips play everywhere else. Can you think of any other possible
solutions? Thanks for your time!!

You could edit it in the timeline where it plays fine while trying to find
out why it isn't working proprly now.

As it used to work properly, then something must have changed.

What sort of handycam is it?
What sort of files does it make?
What changes have you made to your pc?

Check for updates to your graphics card, don't use windows update, this may
have updated your driver with an older one.

I'm having the same problem. I have a sony handycam and have been using
movie maker with it for years. Suddenly any video I import into movie
maker
plays back choppy audio & video in the preview screen - even videos I've
used
before. But if I add the clip to the time line, then it plays smoothly.
This makes it impossible to edit the clip first before adding to time
line.
Can anyone out there help??

all
jumpy and choppy.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
