Most issues like that are due to a codec. See the Problem Solving >
Acceleration and Codecs page of my website.

Hello Craig,

This sounds like a codec issue. I have written a program that deals with
it called "Rename Codecs" The program itself and the beginnings of an FAQ on
the subject is available from my website. I recommend you go to the FAQ for
Movie Maker first, after you have considered all of the options you will
find my program as the last one.....if all of the suggested options do not
work, please let me know....I am still writing the FAQ, there are some large
gaps to be filled in yet.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
