Converting

[RBKstyle]

I'm having trouble with putting my video onto movie maker, when I do it says:

The file C:\Documents and Settings\RBK\My Documents\My Videos\SL370330.mpg
cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not
installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install
the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the
file again.

How do I fix this problem does anyone know? And the photo's are saved to my
computer and are not on the camera any longer!!!

Help Please!!!

==========================
Even if you manage to get the .mpg file
imported into Movie Maker you could still
have issues when saving.

Might be worth a try to convert the .mpg
to the .wmv format.

The following freeware can do the conversion.

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW...you may want to uncheck
all the boxes on the final screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
open the program and choose an Output Folder...
(this is where you will find your files after they are
converted)

Drag/drop your audio/video clips onto the
main screen...

Select 'All to ???' / OK...
(the ??? represents your choice of format)

Click...Start...on the toolbar...

That should do it...

Good luck...
