Default SP3 and window movie maker

I have the same camera, which records avi files using a Motion JPEG
codec.... VISTA 'out of the box' doesn't support the avi files from that
camera, but this is an XP newsgroup and it should. But if you have a codec
issue, using it to test Movie Maker isn't as good as using something like a
BMP image file.

WAV files... and all audio files, don't go to the storyboard view of a
project. They go to the timeline view.

I know what a clip is. I have an avi clip and a wav clip.

neither can be dragged or dropped to story board.

avi is a single clip 58 seconds and wav clip is about same.
I am not nor do I have plans to edit a 3 hour movie.

avi was taken with my canon SD750 and both avi and wav play just fine in
WMM
player

Are you saying I can change settings on SD750 so it will take video as bmp?
Probably not. No such option. avi file I have been working with was taken
with setting at NTSC other option is PAL. Does it matter?

And I would guess if you have same camera, coincidental for sure, how are
you extracting image from card?
I dragged image from card to desk top not using zoombrowser.
I have Any Video Converter and converted same avi to wmv and it still will
not drag and drop to story or line board. It does appear in large screen as
import.

I can left click on thumbnail and drag it to story line or board and when I
let off of left mouse click. Nothing appears in story line or board.

This is not going so well.

I contacted Canon about SD750 avi files.
There is no way to video without sound being recorded.
Audio added option using Zoombrowser does not record over sound it adds to
sound like a TV in background with video was taken.

So I took some double stick tape and pasted it over microphone opening on
SD750 and it reduced recording sound a lot.

I want to add a wav file to avi file from SD750

I'm trying to say that a Motion JPEG file isn't a good video to use to test
Movie Maker and how well it's working. There are other issues (codecs) that
come into play.

A BMP file is a still picture, not a video clip.... can you take the still
pictures from your Canon, which are JPG files, and move them to the
storyboard?

Sorry I forgot bmp is not a video. I tried with a jpg and does not go to
storyboard or line.

I can tell you this.
when i left click on jpg, avi or wav and slowly drag it down center section
and I can see thumbnail moving.
when thumbnail gets approximately 1/2 way across dividing blue line between
center section and story board and just beyond it disappears. with my finger
still on left mouse key if I go up it reappears as a same thumbnail. there
is a warning sign or circle with a slash on thumbnail when it is being moved.
I am using broadband verizon, expression web for my web pages, firefox,
thunderbird, yahoo mail plus, Google and dragging and moving are not a
problem in my emails or anything else.

I use avg free and I am fire walled with windows.

My guess is there is a missing file or something going wrong with storyboard
section as everything else seems to work. Dropping and dragging to story
board not.

what you describe about the dragging sounds normal... not dropping into
place on the storyboard or timeline isn't.

maybe something on my website's Setup Movie Maker XP-2.1 page will help
