Movie is cut by half by WMM2

When I import a mpeg movie in WMM2, only half of it is played ! I have tried to lengthen the video with the arrows but it's impossible. I only get half of it. It stops after a few seconds. The correct duration is 03:27 but in the collection window, it indicates 0:03 ! It's the same for all my videos. I already used WMM2 in the past to create my movies with the same videos and never faces this problem. I have reinstalled WMM2 but the problem has not disappeared. Please help...

mpegs can give funny results so may be try changing it to an avi file type.
Also, it isn't cutting up the movie in to small parts and making lots of
files for you

Thank you for the answer. In fact, I have first converted my MPG file to WMV using WM encoder and then imported it to WMM2. Now I have the full movie - 15 s instead of the initial 4 s I had importing the file directly -. This seems to be a bug in WMM2. I hope it be fixed in the next release... Thanks for you help.
