Movie Maker.

burn them to DVD . . . any suggestions and general help would be grately
appreciated!

I am not using a camera for these videos. I have downloaded clips and music
videos in formats like avi, mpeg . . .

My avi files are not able to be imported from my Video Folder into Movie
Maker -- I assume that it is because I do not have the proper codecs for it.
Any suggestions on that one would be grately appreciated as well!


John Inzer - thanks for the links. I will give those a try.

check the Import Movie Source Files > Video >... the AVI and MPEG-2 pages
