Movie Maker says File is Corrupted
It is a standard DV file direct from my HC96 camcorder. I even tried
capturing from another app called WinDV and the capture worked perfectly, the file is viewable in VLC media player but when I try to import into WMM - C:\Documents and Settings\Justin\Desktop\Mt Laurel.avi could not be imported. The selected file is not valid or is corrupted. It works fine on another XP machine. |

The following freebie can identify the codec used in creating the .avi: GSpot http://www.headbands.com/gspot/download.html GSpot Super Quick Start http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html Assessing Video Files and Codecs with GSpot http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Pa.../68/Gspot.aspx -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience 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 |

The file is a normal DV file direct from the camcorder. It imports correctly onto another machine via WMM. The second machine has no codecs other than the ones installed with XP. But just to show you what I mean, here is gspot's take on the first clip: http://www.imagebam.com/image/63a05930422887 I used to be able to import DV files from this camera before, even PAL clips. |

I think I have the problem solved. I downloaded and installed the XP codec pack from freecodecs.com Once that was done I seem to be able to save again. The file I was having a problem with is from a Panasonic S7 camcorder. |
