Using clips from TV capture card

[Roln]

Greetings,

Curious if anyone on this forum has used video clips captured from a TV card
for making a short movie.
I recently acquired a TV card and have been recording shows for playback
later.
Then I got an idea to import some of those video clips into WMM, so I could
edit them and make a short movie.
However, only the audio portion of the clips work and I don't get any video.
I have eleven options for capturing TV video and six of those are MPEG
format. I experimented and found out if I capture using the WMV format, I
can import those files into WMM and they work okay. Evidently, you can't
use the MPEG format for WMM???

That is correct.

Bob,

Many thanks for the quick reply and confirming my suspicion about MPEG
files.
