Movie maker records video faster than the sound!

If any one can shed some light on this problem I would greatly appreichate it!
I have been converting AVI files to WMV with the "Windows Movie Maker"
without a problem, untill now. Now, when I am conerting a AVI movie (lets
say, dracula.avi-1.97GB) into a WMV (dracula.wmv-700MB) the video is faster
than the sound. I can see the caractors speaking, but it takes 3 to 4 seconds
for the sound to catchup..
What has happened?? I have not changed any settings, or added any new
programs, only WindowsXP has Auto-Update (Default setting) and as far as I
can tell form the Windows Update site, only Security issues have been
downloaded and updated. (Critical updates.)

I look forward for a reply.
 
Everything is the same. The older movies I have converted work fine. I can
not find any diffrances. I thought may be, just possibly, I may need more
memory, so I have 1gig now, and 437 free when I try to make another movie,
but it still comes out the same. I am buying another program to do the same
task, so I will see then if it is just the software (Movie Maker) or my PC.
Long n short of it, if one fixex my problem, I'll forget the other.

How do you import this 1.9 GB into MM2. Mine always cuts an AVI into 30
second fragments. I than glue these together in the editor and creat one WMV.
My max. size is therefore some 100 MB of movies.

But to do this for a movi of 1,9 GB ?????????

On the 'Import File' screen...you can
uncheck..."Create clips for video files".

How could I have missed that part. I did check to see if these clips could
be set longer than 30 second. But I missed that tick item in the input form
:-(,

But allright now. MM2 could become my engine to convert to WMV's :-)
 
John Inzer is right, and to make a note* I dont split to any size, it's all
one big file, then I can scroll forward to where the commercials are, and cut
them out. (thus, making many smaller sizes, to stitch back together at the
end.)
A followup note*

I have all but completely stoped editing with any movie editor. The program
I bought, was extreamly to difficult, and is sitting on my desk collecting
dust. As for the Windows Movie Maker, I havent used it since the original
post, and I have re-Installed WindowsXP at least 20 times from then, to now.
(Repeted updating of my motherboard, memory, CPU, and varrious hardware, has
left me with an entire new system 3 times over. i.e. AMD462-900MHz,
AMD462-1.2GHz, AMD939-2.0GHz, AMD939X64-2.2GHz, soon to become AMD940M2x2
skiping the AMD939X64X2!)

Long and short of it, I am not recording my favorite show any longer, as the
season is over, and there not making a new season. As well, I am buying more
DVD's now, and no longer care to waste the time needed to do all that work.

Thanks everyone for the help, but I havent even installed WMM on this new
system, as I have little or no need for it any more.

END.
