Windows Movie Maker will not edit *.dvr-ms files - why???
When a TV program is recorded from Windows Media Center the recorded video
has the file format [name.dvr-ms]

I can open and play these dvr-ms files with Windows Media Player, Windows
Media Center, Nero Showtime etc. but if I try to import a dvr-ms file into
Windows Movie Maker I always get the error message "File could not be
imported. Unspecified error"

Windows Movie Maker will successfully import and edit files with extensions
..wmv, .avi, . mpg etc.

I am using fully updated Vista Home Premium SP1 and the latest Windows Movie
Maker v.6.0.6000.16386. The system is very stable and works well in all
other respects.

What is my problem? - I am baffled!

=============================
Your Home Premium version of Vista
should be compatible with the files but
it still may be worth a try to convert them
as described in the following article:
