Why does Microsoft Media Encoder 9 always crash?
I am trying to convert Mpeg2 files, saved on my hard drive and originating
from my Sony Handycam, to wmv files which I want to play in Movie Maker. Unfortunately encoder 9 crashes after finish. Does this have something to do with codecs? What should I do to make this simple process work? -- Declan

Why does Microsoft Media Encoder 9 always crash?
Thankyou for your time.
Interestingly you rerouted me to my first port of call which was virtualdubmeg2. This has worked tonight however I have just learned that this guidance is given for a NTSC system-any suggestions for a PAL system? -- Declan "John Inzer" wrote: John wrote: I am trying to convert Mpeg2 files, saved on my hard drive and originating from my Sony Handycam, to wmv files which I want to play in Movie Maker.

Why does Microsoft Media Encoder 9 always crash?
John:
I followed your instructions and downloaded VdubMod. I resized and then compressed my video and I now have my video saved as a .avi file. (It was originally an mpeg-2). I can now view it on Windows Media Player but still cannot import it into WMM. I get the same error: "the file C:\Documents and Settings\...\Megan round 1.avi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again." What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks!

It says Codec: dvsd Name DVC/DV Video and the status says Codec(s) are
installed. I downloaded the Panasonic codec in your article. However, Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility says there are no MPEG-2 decoders on my system. I used the Panasonic codec to save a second .avi file in VirtualDubMod. There is no volume on my avi file - I am assuming I need to find an audio codec as well? I really appreciate your assistance! I am amazed at how bloody complicated and confusing this whole process is. All I want to do is combine video clips of my daughters into a movie on WMM. It should not be this difficult.

If you do wish to play DVDs...the following freebie may be worth a try: VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/ I would still suggest that personally...I would download and install the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Yes...video editing is complicated.

Ya! It works now! I downloaded the K-Lite Mega Codec
Pack. I will play around the weekend with WMM and see what I can do. Thanks SO MUCH for your wisdom!
