Movie Maker Dies...

I have some video that I have extracted using Intervideo DVD Copy product.
Basically I have extracted a small chapter from a disc. I need to edit the
file to shorten it.. so I thought I would use the Movie Maker for that. When
I import the video I get a critical error and basically I am told that memory
could not be read at some hex location... and then when I click ok the
program dies.

If I import MPEG or AVI/Divx that is exported from this Intervideo product
this happens. If I import WMV it does not happen but there is some loss.. I
would really like to use the AVI... any thoughts?

I went to Intervideo and they wanted me to restore my OS install... dumb of
course. The machine is a new install of XP SP2... it is plenty of horsepower
too.

I am really at a loss... The videos all play fine in Media Player so why
would I not be able to import them? Perhaps a missing filter or something?

Possibly a codec problem.

Outside of that why is restoring your OS dumb? Reinstalling is dumb but
restoring usually causes no problems.
