[i]Ok, so here's the deal.[/i]
I have a camcorder that I use frequently, I transfer these recordings to the computer and expect to edit them, however, the Windows Movie Maker program doesn't recognize the movie file as anything (why is that?).
For now I think it's just because of the movie file format, it's MPEG-4. So far neither [i]Windows Movie Maker[/i] or [i]muvee autoproducer[/i] is able to import the files. Does anyone have an explanation to this? What do I need to be able to edit my movie files into a full video file with music and effects? If I need to convert the MPEG-4 files into WMP how do I do that?
[i]If anyone could help me with this it'd be most appreciated. I'll check back every now and then for any answers[/i].

Is it a digital camcorder? If so, I am assuming you are using an IEEE 1394 port to import these, which would mean you are capturing them with a certain program. Usually, you can do some basic editing in the capture program, but I don't think it works too well. I have used Ulead and Adobe Premier, and I find that Premier is a good program for editing movies. I haven't tried Movie Maker, so I cannot help you with that.
