.avi won't play in Windows Media/Movie Maker

Recommended Posts

I've got a lot of videos from my camcorder, and I used to be able to view them in Media Player, or edit them in Movie Maker. Now I can't do that. Does anyone know what needs to be done/downloaded?

You could try converting them to .wmv files.

I did it with Superbad and a few clips i got from youtube.

How do you recommend I convert them?

I got a wonderful little program called Prism video converter on my laptop.

 

Works wonders for me.

 

I can probably send you the link tommorow or fairly soon.

 

and i'm about 99% sure it's called Prism Video Converter

This post was asking for free backup software, but I believe I found one on Google. If anyone else has other good backup software for free, please post it.

 

The one I found is called Macrium, if you're curious.

You probably need the appropriate codecs........
