I didn't know exactly where to put this thread...so sorry if it's in the wrong place. I have some footage on a DVD-R that was recorded from a camcorder. I want to edit it in windows movie maker. I just want to be able to post it on youtube or myspace. If someone could help I'd appreciate it. thakns
WMM does not accept DVD-Video files. It will let you capture camcorder footage though. If you still have the original video on the camera. If not, then you need to convert the DVD-Video from the disc into a file format acceptable to WMM. To see what these are... Open WMM, click "File" then "Import into Collections...". Look at the Files of type drop-down menu to see what file types are acceptable. You will then need a converter to convert the DVD-Video from the disc into one of those types. .avi is a good choice. I'd use something like the MAX DVD to AVI converter. http://www.dvd-converter.com/index.htm You could also Google for a converter, there are quite a few. Once the DVD is converted to an acceptable file format, WMM will be able to use it.
