Hello John and Thanks for posting above.
Hear we go...
The Format Factory coversion ratio was 1.2
1 MPG bytes = 1.2 WMV bytes
Exactly:
23,140,602,863 bytes .mpg
28,037,430,551 bytes .wmv
Now when Importing 28 GB .wmv into Movie Maker
the result is 19 parts:
Parts 1 to 18 are 3 seconds to 42 seconds
Part 19 is over 4 hours
How come it split into 19 parts?
The idea is to find a simple to use program to
remove unwanted parts.
Suggestions?
==============================
It won't split if you uncheck "Create clips
for video files" on the import screen.
Once you have the movie imported...
drag it to the timeline and make as many
splits as you want. (Info on splitting pasted
below)
If you are unhappy with Movie Maker...the
following freeware might be worth a look..
it has several editing options:
iWisoft Free Video Converter
http://www.easy-video-converter.com/index.html
(Win2000, WinXP, Vista, Win7)
iWisoft Free Video Converter Tutorials

Here's another freebie that will split the video
into managable segments:
VidSplitter

And if you want a more advanced program...
you might try the trial version of Cyberlink Power
Director:

"Splitting A Clip In MM 2.1"
Drag the video/audio clip to the
Timeline.
Play the video/audio by clicking the
"Play" button under the view screen.
You will see the Playback Indicator
(vertical line) advancing across the
timeline.
Click the "Pause" button at the point
where you wish to split and type...
Ctrl+L or click the "Split" button at the
bottom of the view screen.
(you can also make adjustments by
dragging the Playback Indicator)
Make as many splits as you want and
remove the unwanted clips by right
click / delete.
And...Movie Maker 2.1 only displays every
other frame. In order to see all frames, the
following info from PapaJohn may be useful:
===
Movie Maker 2 shows you every-other-frame
when doing project editing. MM1 and Movie
Maker in Vista show you each frame.
It's usually not a problem when skipping over
the in-between frames, but sometimes you
notice a flickering frame in a clip that is a 'stray',
and you can't see or cut it out.
If you apply the Slow - Down - Half video effect
to a clip in the timeline, you are then seeing
each frame rather than every other one. You
can see the problem frame and split it out.
Then remove the effect from the clip to return
it to normal.
