Default windows movie maker crashes when I touch the movie timeline

I have several files (bigger than 1 gb) that I need to edit together.
Whenever I drag the video into the timeline the movie maker crashes either
immediately, or after I attempt to click on a specific moment in the
timeline. please help!

Default windows movie maker crashes when I touch the movie timeline


Hello.
I am having a similar problem. I recently installed windows movie maker
on a computer of mine. At first, I did not have this problem, but
somehow it appeared. I don't know a lot about computers, but I have had
movie maker issues on a different computer, all in which I was able to
fix. However, this problem makes me clueless.

At first, I had a problem that wouldn't allow me to import a video from
my video camera. I found out from a different site that I had to
download what was called "ffdshow decoder" or something like that. It
solved the problem instantly. However, now I have a different problem.
It is pretty much like the problem the person above me has. Windows
movie maker closes down as soon as the video is placed in the timeline.
Help.

===============================================
I'm uncertain why you *installed* Movie Maker...considering
that it's included in all versions of Windows since Windows ME.

Anyway...you may be importing video files that are not fully
compatible with Movie maker and there's a good chance that
you need to update your video driver.

File type compatibility with Movie Maker

Which file type should I use in Movie Maker?

Okay. Thank you.
I had to install windows movie maker because my computer was originally
owned my mom's work company. Meaning, programs such as movie maker were
removed.
