Why can't I import an AVI movie in my windows movie maker? Thank you.
I use Windows xp
MVI is not the format... What is the extension of the movie file?
If you do not see the last three letters past the point...
Example: MVI_0212.AVI
You can open a folder and go to... Tools / Folder Options / View tab on...
and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" / apply / OK.
Now you should see the extension.
What happens when you try to import the file into Movie Maker?

Why can't I import my AVI file complete?
So I try to import files in Camtasia in Premiere Pro.
So I have a minute 14 long clip I want to import into Premiere Pro. The video codec is a Codec of screenshot TechSmith. Type of file is AVI
Basically, I import the file in first pro and the clip is only 23:25 which is 23 seconds long. I really have no idea why, it is because if I open the file in windows media player it recognizews 14 minutes. Even within Premiere pro when I'm looking for info on the original file, he says he's 14-minute then why can only work with 23:25?
I exported the same file twice off Camtasia to test a bad export and the same result. It's weird since I've done this before in Camtasia and been very well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First can not handle files with the Techsmith Camtasia codec.
Capture with a differenct first as Lagarith codec will import very well.

In fact... Since all you have is the DVD finished... it
may be easier to recreate the whole project.For re - edit the best bet is the project .mswmm file.
It is created when you go to... File / save project.Second best would be to publish (save project)
in a folder on your hard disk in the the.wmv or .avi format...
This could be re-imported in Movie Maker in video format.In this case you will need to convert the. VOB files into one
compatible format and import. Take a look on the
next article...DVD Movie Maker 6... in Vista Home Basic

Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows vista on my new pc?
I received an activation message and I don't know what to doIf your Vista came pre-installed in your old PC, then this is an OEM license that cannot be transferred to your new PC.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
