======================================
If you want to only 'see' the MPG files... the freeware
VLC Media Player may be worth a try. If you want to
"modify" MPG files in Movie Maker, it may be best if
convert you to the. Before importing WMV format.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

VLC Media Player (32-bit Version)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_32/
(works on XP, Vista, 7, 8)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.8 - win32.exe)

VLC Media Player (64-bit Version)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_64/
(works on XP, Vista, 7, 8)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.8 - win64.exe)

There are to many converters available on the net...
Some are free, some details... the following freeware
is but one example that works well for me.

Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)

(Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8)
(* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
may be a few items you want to unmark *)

When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the
your video files are saved in the folder.

Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

When video files are imported into Freemake,
On the left, click the WMV icon at the bottom of the screen.

The 'WMV output settings' screen opens.

Choose a folder ' save in ', so you can find the
converted files.

On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files
to convert.

That should do it...

  • in overscanned .mpg files

    Hi all

    Working on a project and I exported my files under types of .mpg files to be closed all day. I exported in PAL DVD wide screen to a frame size of 720 x 576, 25 FPS. Types of final file WLE play fine opening in VLC or WMP. However when I put them on a memory pen and play through the USB port of a TV they instantly becomes overscanned, and I lose the edges of my video files. I wonder if this might be something I'm doing wrong causing the file to be overscanned in being played on a TV, or if the TV itself (tried format settings, non on parameters of scanning).

    I would also like to note that, when I play the video directly from the PC to the TV via a cable that it plays very well, no "zoom" appears. Monitors seems to appear when played the pen USB to the USB port on the TV. Someone at - he heard of this problem before?

    Most TVs have a level of overscan. That is why the safe Action and safe title areas serve - to allow this overscan. More old CRT TV were quite a bit worse than newer devices, some of which have almost zero overscan.

    With the old TV CRT that overscan was very marked. If you were to compare their screens with a PAL (or NTSC) broadcast monitor, you would see that they lost about 10%. Once, the areas on the periphery of the image had retail brands, and bars of color calibration, to help engineers in a television station, plan for ads and also to calibrate their signal, about Gamma and color. This area was never seen by the viewer at home, in most cases.

    My first try would be to view these MPEG, from the USB key, on a TV different set of. If this test TV is a different brand/model, the amount of overscan will probably differ.

    If you do not see a change, even slight, then you know that the problem IS just the overscan. You have two options right here: you can accept that there will be overscan, a visualized image will differ, Viewer to the Viewer, depending on their equipment, or, you can scale the Clips on your Timeline, ever so slightly, leaving small black bars on the sides. Then, on some TV, those who will be seen, but probably not really noticed, and then will be seen on some TVs, the full Frame.

    If you display only on a particular TV and do not send through broadcast, simply reduce the image to work with TV ONLY.

    Good luck

  • MPG files are a miniature graph?

    Hello

    When you look at the list of files in my pictures, is there a way to get MPG files to show a graph or a capture instant film, similar to the way a miniature works with jpg files? Currently, they display an image of film with 'MPEG' downstairs.

    Thank you.

    When you access the file-> open, you use windows interface that has nothing to do with Photoshop. Either the icons are set too small for thumbnails view or for some reason, the thumbnails are not displayed (bad codecs, the files themselves have problems, etc.)

  • My mpg files won't open in imovie, they are grayed out

    Mpg files imported can be found on my Mac, but do not place in imovie... they are greyed out

    You need to convert them to .mp4.  There are many third-party paid apps announced to do this, but you can use the free Handbrake app at: https://handbrake.fr/

    that is a very powerful tool that can do a lot of video conversions.

  • Download and play mpg files

    I'm having problems downloading, then read mpg files or CD/DVD to play on something other than VLC Player. My main PC and an old laptop is fine, but never had this problem. I get the error messages including could be a codec problem, but do not understand it and if it's what I do?
    Hope you can help.

    Kind regards
    Steve

    Hello Steve

    If you have this problem with Windows Media Player, you probably need to install the codec package.
    I recommend to install K-lite codec package or even K-Lite mega codec package.

    It is simply to find. Use Google and you will find after a few clicks only.

  • SanDisk Ultra Backup 8 GB USB unable to view copied files unless the originals are still on the PC HARD drive?

    This could be me be stupid... but please humor if I am because I'm not supertechie - but I'm backup me of my hard drive on the SanDisk Ultra Backup USB drive using "SanDisk Backup" - if I leave the copies of the files on my disk hard original PC (the folder I'm backup of) I am able to view the files on the Flash drive.  If I delete the original files from the PC, I only have the ability to restore files from the USB Flash drive?

    The question of having an external device is to take the PC files and use elsewhere?  Is it possible to display the files on the USB key that you need to keep the original files on your PC?

    I'm sorry, you say SecureAccess MANAGER is part of your startup not SecureAccess.  The Manager is used for autostart SecureAccess on the USB drive when it is plugged.

  • Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

    When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

    Audio--> OK
    Video--> NO

    Windows Media Player--> video + audio
    Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

    Hi tom,

    Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

    Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

    In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

    I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

    If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

    I think that will do, let us know whether.

    -J' always set up as the DEFAULT program for most of the video-Windows Media Player files and I DESPISE any program that dares to change these settings of the PC user.

    I would be very happy if someone can help me with the following:
