Movie maker mystery

All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, every time I attempt to
"split" a segment of the video during editing, movie maker simply shuts
down! Every time! I've run two separate virus scans...none found. also
spyware says all's well. So I can't figure it out!

Specifically, I can do only 7 splits, then anything after that it just
shuts down! I normaly have dozens of clips that have been "split"and
never had any problems. Anybody else have this problem?

Also, I thought maybe could just reinstall movie maker, but I don't
know how because all I got with this laptop when I bought it (new) was
three separate "restore" discs, but from what I've researched online,
it says I need the Win XP disc. Is that the same as the restore discs?
I have three of them, and they are not "bootable".

I have one other disc that *is* bootable, but under the contents
section there is nothing for Movie maker. Help if you can please!

I have the same problem, whenever I upload a clip from my video camera
it always shuts itself down so I have to use my other computer to do
it. I find that it also shuts down sometimes for no reason, it just
freezes and you lose whatever you have done.

I can get you premiere pro if you'd like, you'd just have to wait about
2 days at the most.

Premiere is harder and more complicated to use at first, but you get
used to it pretty quickly, and it wont hang up and shut down like WMM,
its very worth it.

That would be great! How would you get it to me?

That's right cool of you thanks so much! I've been wanting to upgrade
into better editing software but MM was just sooooo easy to figure out
and use, while every other program was just too complicated to use.
Hopefully I'll have good luck with Premier! Thanks again Jerrick!

No problem. The installation file is big, so it will take a while to
upload, but the program itself isnt that big, so once installed you can
delete the installations files and save some space.

Learning to use it isnt too hard, they have the import to get files,
capture to get files from DV tapes, and all the other standards, you
just gotta mess around through all the options and memorize where the
basics are.

Movie Maker used to work fine but now I'm having similar problems.
Simply dragging a clip to the timeline will sometimes freeze the
program. I find I have to save my work constantly to avoid losing my
efforts. There is no way to download just Movie Maker from Microsoft.
It's part of Service Pack 2.

I have Adobe Premier but it's on my other PC at my Vermont condo. I
agree it's powerful but difficult to learn.

I also own Sonic My DVD and Roxio but they have their limitations too.

If anyone can point me to something better I'd greatly appreciate it.


After a dozen attempts I finally put together a short video from my
recent trip to Davos, Switzerland. There are a few clips of this
60-something playing on snowboard and skis. In the first view, speed
guns clocked me at 88 kph on the snowboard (55 mph). I remember
thinking at the time that "this is a BAD idea"..... Check out the
'video' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=gymnast1946).

you can go to download.com and serach windows movie maker 2 and get it
from them, and not have to worry about service packs or anything.
