    sounds like an mpeg problem to me

    Movie Maker doesn't work with MPEG-2 files. You need to convert them to AVI using other software then import the new avi's

    give it a go it might work

    Just don't use the lousy WMM on your nice Hauppauge captures!
    What's wrong with the included Ulead SE? It does most of what WMM does, without the headaches.
    If you want something with more features, try Vegas, Pinnacle, mainconcept EVE, etc.

    yah what I am doing is recording my halo2 game play to my pc and i want to edit it so i can make a cool video but the problem is I only use about 15 sec from every a 12 min 786MB video so I want to be able to take the pieces of video i want and save them to a different folder and discard the rest of the video to conserve space on my hdd

    For simple cuts, just use the Nanopeg editor, also included with your Hauppauge card.
    I think you're trying to make this far more difficult than it really is, and you've got the software you need on the Hauppauge disk.

    everyone hates windows movie maker and i dont know why

    i do 3 animations and i use it sometimes to edit renders for Uni, and i dont see whats wrong with it

    sure it doesnt have the extras say Adobe premiere has, but its free and it does what its supposed do fine, it doesnt do it amazing, but it does it good enuf

    If good enuf is good enough for you, fine.
    For making high quality dvd's, it sucks, except for it's ability to output DV-AVI.
    It's slow, has a tendency to crash, and isn't great at audio sync.
    Just my opinion :)

    I can use the ulead dvd movie factory and cut the video there but then it puts it in the time line below ready to be burnt but I am not ready to burn. But I want to save the video clips I am not ready to burn because I dont have enough clips to put in my video but my hd is filling up fast. So I need to delete the big videos but save the clips I want from each video in a diffrent folder
