.mp4 format needs converting for Movie Maker
I tried to convert an .mp4 format using Bink and Smacker but it didn't work.
How can I take this format and use it in Movie Maker in order to edit so that I can upload to a website? Movie Maker doesn't recognize .mp4. Thank you

Brian ======================== Try the following steps: Drag/Drop your .mp4 into the field that says: "Drop A Valid Multimedia File Here" At #1....choose your output format... avi At the bottom of the screen...click "Encode". If you did not change the Output folder...your converted video will be in the following folder:: C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\SUPER\OutPut If this fails...there is a forum at the following link where you can get some info: eRightSoft Super Forum http://www.erightsoft.com/Supforum.html Good luck..... -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
