Importing video into Movie Maker

I need to import a video I made for my local animal shelter into Movie Maker
so I can cut it into pieces for easy web viewing via YouTube or somesuch.

I have an .mpg version I downloaded from one of the cable access stations
that broadcasts it, and I also have a DVD copy. I haven't tried loading it
via the DVD player because I don't see a way to do that.

Videos are here (adding this link to quell any suspicion that I'm trying to
pirate DVDs or something):

I've read the other posts about converting .mpg files into .avi files, but
they all link to programs like VirtualDubMod which is 4 years old. Is that
program still viable, and is it easy to use? Money is tight, so freeware is
preferred and "easy" is pretty much a requirement.

We're just trying to get the message out to help save puppies, kitties and
bunnies. Help!

Thanks,
Doug

my website's Setup MM2 in XP > Other Software page has current links to
software apps... and to my online newsletters that help you use them. Yes,
the VirtualDub family is alive and well.
 
I have same problem. I attended a bootcamp for speakers and received a video
of my speech by disk for me to edit into a decent demo video. It is an .mpg
file and windows movie maker won't import it. the error message I get is "
could not be imported. An interface has too many methods to fire events
from". I have no idea what this means and can't seem to find any answers
anywhere to rectify the problem. Windows experts can't be that mean, not to
give the error message but not the sway to find the solution, can they????????

Many thanks for your help. I also received help from another source and that
was to use Roxio software to split the video into smaller chunks for Movie
Maker to inport and then break into clips for inserting into different spots

getting the hang of it all now.
