Unable to use Movie Maker 2.1 to make my own video compilations of my videos converted families (converted with USB 2.0 TV BOX - InterVideo WinDVR).

I use a USB 2.0 TV BOX (its software is "InterVideo WinDVR") to activate my old family videos VHS and DVR (VCR/DVD via RCA cables drive) of video files.

The files are anywhere from 4 or 5 MB .5MB (mainly), with one or two files like 7MB, depending on the family event.

Once I created the new video files, I have no problem to watch with Windows Media Player (and they look beautiful, as there was almost no loss of photo quality and or sound in the transfer at all - very very nice).

Then I will import the video clips/files newly created in Movie Maker (I have Movie Makers version 2.1). in order to make new compilations video, eager to add effects and transitions and music in Movie Maker.

The newly created files seem to import no problem... but when I try to preview... the sound plays very well but there is no video... only in black on the preview screen (the few times I tried this I had to close Movie Maker).

I tried moving them dirrectly to the timeline and then see them and play a clip, but then when I clicked the back button to replay the same thing above occurs, black in the preview with sound window.

I did some reading online to try to understand, and...

I tried to import the file/clip directly on the timeline and then finishing/recording on my computer and then importing the wma file that results, but the same thing, black with sound.

What am I what am I doing wrong or what do I need get this working... grandmas are starting to nag... lol

Thanks a lot for any help or advice anyone can offer me, time and review.

You have file compatibility issues.

Try to use the following free software to convert files
