Hello there,

MPeg and the editing abilities of Movie Maker never go together very well. The
problem is the diverse nature of encoding types within the MPeg framework. Your
solution is to convert it to DV-AVI so as to minimize loss of quality and then
edit the resulting file in Movie Maker.

There is rather a good link (Great Links) in the Imaging > Knowledge Base
section of my website to do with Video Help. It has the most comprehensive
source of information on converting from one format to another that I have yet
come across.
 
Hi Again,

I should have also said that the Video Help site also has links to the software
you will need to do the job.
