Movie maker video transition not smooth

Thanks for the idea: since I was converting my MOV file to AVI before using
MM. I wil convert to another format and try the front-end rim again to see if
a non-AVI file suffers the same result. Again, thanks. I'll give it a try.

I just tried MPG with the same results: the first few seconds of the Ms Mvie
Maker movie are still....so here's a question: can someone recommend a
converter that takes an MOV file and converts it to a format it Movie Maker
accepts? I want to validate that the stillness is not due the converter I'm
using, which is Im TOO MOV converter.

The second part of your question - "Free Video Converter" from
Koyotesoft.com works well (producing an AVI with a video bitrate ceiling of
9Mb/s) but the direct method to WMV9 is better. My name is supposed to be
shown as 'helpfool?'@gargar.com

After using Moviemaker in Vista for a year with great results I have
just started to get this flickering fault when I link 2 clips
using the 'dissolve' transition.

I can't imagine why it would just start doing this but I hope that
someone can find the answer very soon.

Can you report here the type of video file you have imported? And if it was
an .avi file, what kind of .avi? DV-AVI has been reported to have this
'transition flicker' in Vista (but not for all users). It may be a problem
with the file type of your source files.

I haven't yet encountered any serious problem using using Quick Time files in
Movie Maker. But, in my case, it is early days, and I haven't had time to
corrupt my system's codecs.

I recently short-listed (for my personal use) the software that
successfully converts .MOV files to
dotSOMETHINGTHATVISTACANDIGESTWITHOUTAPPENDAGES. Whilst reviewing my
browsing history today I noticed that "ImTOOMOV" is unum e pluribus not on
my shortlist. Here in the UK companies can be prosecuted under the Trade
Descriptions Act if their wares fall short of the claims made for them.

Judgeing by the amount of positive feedback I've had (so far) from
organisations I've contacted, you'd think I was asking for the return of the
Thirteen Colonies.

Have a nice 20080704, everyone.
