Won't open mpegs

[Guest]

I successfully used my copy of Windows Movie Maker version 2.0 a few
months ago to import .mpg and .mpeg files into movie maker.

Now when I try to import those same files I receive the following
message:

"The file E:\Video\abc.mpeg is not valid because it does not contain
any information."

I have not upgraded to version 2.1 as it appears I need to have XP SP2
loaded. I have not loaded SP2 as I do not have time to take all the
precautions before upgrading and can't afford the time to deal with any
problems which might occur.


Has anyone had this problem|?

Can anyone suggest what might be causing the problem.

Movie Maker can work with MPEG-1 files fine, but not with MPEG-2... and they
both can have the .MPG/MPEG extension.

But you said it was the "same" files. If this is true then there is a
different problem.
Did you try opening the files in Media Player or whatever viewer your using
to see if there is a problem with the files?
