I bought a new laptop recently that has Vista. It came with a version of
Windows Movie Maker, and I began using it to make AMVs (anime music videos).
It works fine at first, but then it gets to a point where it won't show some
of the clips (it'll show a black screen) but the music will continue. It does
this on the preview and after I publish it.
I though it was a problem with the file types, but I checked and the formats
I use should all be compatible.
I got the clips from DVDs using Fraps, and they're in the .avi format. I
ripped the music from a CD and they're in the .wma format.

Is there a way to fix this problem? Would using a different format help?
 
The key question is what compression codec was used to create the AVI
file... some work well with Movie Maker and others don't.

See my website's Import Movie Source Files > Video > Video Codecs and AVI
pages.
