Green flickering in Windows Movie Maker
I've filmed some extracts and was save on my hard drive. The files are mpegs. When I play in Windows Media Player, they are very good. But when I put them in Windows Movie Maker, I get a crazy green glow. Looks almost bad stop-motion animation - or photography of time - where the sections are just ecologisees out.
How can I fix?

======================================
Movie Maker can have problems of compatibility with the MPEG files...
might be interesting to try to convert the MPEG for the WMV files
format before you import into Movie Maker.
The following freeware can convert:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)
After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)
Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...
Select "all to WMV" / OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...

Windows Movie Maker, after the problem - red and green
When I change my movie with Windows Movie Maker preview is fine, but after the publication of the project, the film is red and green. What can I do to fix this?
I solved this problem. But I think it was because of the video quality of my webcam. Director of Windows try to enhance the video at the time of publication. So that's my new problem. Can I update my webcam as well?
-
When I change the video, everything seems fine. I can see the video, I can modify it. But when I publish it, it becomes a black screen with a thin, green line oriented horizontally or vertically, that it seems to vary.
I tried redownloading Windows Movie Maker (the link is on my Hotmail page) and it did not help. It's actually when the line is vertical.
The strange thing is the titles on video and audio actually appear very well. But I don't think it's my camera because the video plays very well before I publish it. So what the hell is happening?
I use a Flip camcorder if that helps.
Here's a video showing the problem. You can hear the sound and see the title wipe across the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guL_l-YOz8E
Not sure if I have a few other Codec here or not, but I think I could.
In any case, I realized the problem WITH WMM, I went and tried to save other ways and go with more parameters: DV - AVI (PAL) works!

Hello,
After I publish a film I did on Windows Movie Maker, the final video file is condensed to the half of the screen, while the bottom is light green. Before you publish, at the opening, everything looks good without any problem. Any ideas of how fix? Thanks in advance.

When I publish my movie in Windows Movie Maker, I have a large green bar on it that takes up half of the screen. I have looked everywhere for a solution to this and can't seem to find an answer. Every Web site I look I see someone recommend download xvid and click on the rendering engine of compatibility, but if I do that I just an error message and it doesn't change anything. My codec packs that I can see in windows movie maker are the decompressor AVI and DivX Decoder Filter, if I disable the DivX decoder filter it removes the bar... Green goal then I also can't see my video any longer. Really looking for a solution to this, any help that anyone could offer would be great.
When I try to publish in DV - AVI stalls editions to 10% and the estimated time so that it finishes just continues to go up.

Windows Movie Maker: Small video and green screen
I've been taking videos on Movie Maker for quite awhile and I've never had a problem until today. I've got this show that I have edited. The preview reading is perfectly fine and everything works normally and then I publish. Publication is going smoothly, but something must of happened between this amount of time, because the video is now scrunch all upward on the top (its dimensions are now all distorted to extend over the screen to halfway) and on the bottom half there is just a green screen. It occurs only after the publication. I tried to change an option that I use when publishing... did the same thing. Then I thought maybe it was some kind of title effect I used... it's not. I tried to delete all the effects on my thing and editing like that... This isn't the problem. The only thing that could be a problem, it's that it's a different file, then I usually use I think that... I had like a torrent file, but when I look, it works well and is not. So I do not understand... any suggestions?

Windows Movie Maker problems Publishing a half green screen
Everytime I try to publish a movie from Windows Movie Maker finshed product comes out with the bottom half of the greenery of the photo and only half scrambled upward. Very frustrated. Tried with MP3 music and not at all. Nothing helps.

Transitions of twinkle in Windows Movie maker.
My transitions flickering even after publication. I did the previous videos without any problem. Twinkle has just begun with the current video, I work with. I did everything suggested in the forum, but nothing did.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.Hello
1. what troubleshooting measures have tried to solve this problem?
2 have you tried to publish a movie using a different video?
As the issue has begun, there must be some settings changed in the movie maker. We will try to restore default Movie Maker settings and publish the movie using the same video and check the result.To restore settings, try the following steps.
1. click on start, type Movie Maker, and then click Windows Movie Maker in the list.
2. click on the Tools menu, click Options.
3. in the Options window, on each tab, click the default settings.
4. click on apply, then ok.
5. restart Windows Movie Maker and try to publish a movie.
Visit this link for more information on "Publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker":
