Does Windows Movie Maker 2 able to handle MPEG2?

[Walter]

Hello all,
i have a TV card, and i used its default setting to record a MPEG2 movie.
but when i was trying to import the movie into Movie Maker 2, it said it
cannot import the movie with unknown error.
i've tried to install the ULEAD video studio, after that, i am able to
import MPEG2 files into Movie Maker 2.
unfortunately, when i drag and drop the clip down to the timeline,
there was a run time error and Movie Maker 2 terminated.

my question is that Does Windows Movie Maker 2 able to handle MPEG2?
if it does, what can i do in order to make my PC suit my need? Because i
found ULEAD video studio is too difficult to use.

thank you so much

Walter

Walter,

MM2 can handle MPEG2, but it needs a codec that doesn't come with it, and
isn't automatically downloaded from a Microsoft site.
