Using Flip camera video files into Movie Maker

[MontanaSooner]

I have began using Flip video cameras in the middle school classes I teach.
We have been using Pazera software to convert Flip's MPG4 files to MPG1 so
that we can import them into Windows Movie Maker. A previous class was able
to convert the files and import them without any problem. My class now is
able to convert them but when we try to import them we get this error message:
"An interface has too many methods to fire events from"

I myself was able to convert the files previously, and unable to convert
them last Friday. Today I am able to convert them and then import them into
Movie Maker.

Do you have any suggestions? Another MPG4 to MPG1 file converter that I
might try? Thank you for your help.

=======================================
Maybe the following article would be worth a look:

Movie Maker and Flip Digital Camcorders
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-CamcordersFlip.html

And the following freeware may be worth a try for
converting the files to the .wmv format.

(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...when installing...you may want to uncheck
'all' of 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 video clips onto the main screen...

Select 'All to WMV' / OK...

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

That should do it...

Good luck...
