==============================
Maybe the following software would be
worth a look. If you try either or both...
please let us know the result.

I use MPEG streamclip 1.1. However, once I imported them to Movie Maker, I
only have audio and no visual. I am currently in the process of trying to
find out what I need to do for the visual to show in Movie Maker. This
conversion software is free but if there is no visual then it is of no use.
I feel that there is just something little that I need to do or download for
it to work but I am waiting on answers to my post. Hope this helped some.

This thread is three months old. It's best to begin
a new thread when you have a question.

Anyway...have you tried updating your video driver?
