Can't Find Codec But Windows Media Player Can

[Stewart Berman]

I have some clips that Windows Media Player plays fine. If I try to import them into Windows Movie
Maker it says it can't import them because the codec is not available.

Windows Media play says the codecs are:

Audio codec: MPEG Layer-3 Decoder

Video codec: Nero Video Decoder

Nero Video Decoder is checked in the Windows Movie Maker Options\Compatibility options.

Why is Windows Movie Maker unable to import a file that Windows Media Player can play?

MM does not work well with Mpegs, you'll have to convert them to dv-avi or
wmv to use them.
