I used a program called IntelliMover and think that it flies over the files and unnecessary files. How can I identify and delete these files?
If make sure you that the files are not used by some programs or windows, then, the answer is YES.
Easier would be, just look for duplicates in the folders where the files are not required by Windows or programs. -

How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker
I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
a VOB extension.Also... the info is maybe worth a visit:

Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?
I'm in a bit of a dead end. I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.
In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images. My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.
Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker? My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.
I'm ready to buy a new camera. I just need something compatible. Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.
Can anyone help?
If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it
Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p
The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.
But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)
You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.
Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:
Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.
In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Need help to import the DVD that I made using Windows Movie Maker

I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?
I want to access the movie file and continue working on it. Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.
I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open. I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.
Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!
Help!
No guarantee but something you could try...
There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
Mode for these)And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
saved the source files to restore the path.* Proceed at your own risk *.
