Video editing with windows movie maker I am trying to make some videos off of windows movie maker. my movies are made off of my camera that you use to take pics and not a video camera. i know i need to convert my vids to avi, mpg, mpeg, or something else. i used "Any Video Converter" to convert them. I converted one to avi, mpg, and mpeg. I try to upload all of them from the three different deals to the windows movie maker. when i import them at the end of it it says
The file C:\Documents and Settings\Kelsie\My Documents\Any Video Converter\AVI\Kelse&Kadi- country grammar_xvid.avi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.
I have closed it and reopened it several times. i've even restarted my computer. what do i do?

In Any Video Converter, choose the profile "Customized WMV Movie (*.wmv)". This will work in Windows Movie Maker. The default conversion settings will be fine.
Alternatively, follow my advice here to install the necessary codecs:

Windows Movie Maker doesn't natively support the default xvid encoding that Any Video Converter uses for avi, and it only supports MPEG-1 and 2, not the default MPEG-4. ]
Follow this link to a similar question I answered:

It's a free converter program I use, and I've had no trouble with the converted videos with WMM.
Instructions on how to use the program are also listed in the answer I gave at that link.
Good luck! :-)
