I tried to convert an .mp4 format using Bink and Smacker but it didn't work.

How can I take this format and use it in Movie Maker in order to edit so
that I can upload to a website? Movie Maker doesn't recognize .mp4.

Thank you

Maybe the freeware Super would be worth a try.

(the mirror download site is faster)

Thanks for the recommendation. I have downloaded the program but it isn't
very easy to figure out. I'll work with it and see if I have success.

thanks again for the reply.

Try the following steps:

Drag/Drop your .mp4 into the field that says:
"Drop A Valid Multimedia File Here"

At #1....choose your output format... avi

At the bottom of the screen...click "Encode".

If you did not change the Output folder...your
converted video will be in the following folder::

C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\SUPER\OutPut

If this fails...there is a forum at the following link
where you can get some info:

Good luck.....

easy to use and powerful

It should be good for $40.95.

Thanks anyway.

i spent 2 hours trying to figure this one out today and finally i downloaded
a free program called pazera to convert my htc phone videos from mp4 to mpg.

then loaded into windows movie maker (v 6 with vista) without issues. hope
this helps someone.

cheers,
 
thusfar i havent had problems with mpg but i might try avi next time

this is a pretty good site for reference. if only vista came with a simple
video conversion program...
