Problems - Tried the Fixes on PapaJohn and nothing.

I have several problems with Windows Movie Maker. I have a Sony HDD
camcorder and downloaded several clips. I want to edit one of them. I can
import the file into moviemaker, but there are a few issues.

1. On the screen to the right, where it appears you should be able to play
the clip, there is no video. While messing with the codec option, I was able
to get audio to play at one point, but never video, and I haven't been able
to get the audio back.

2. When I try to drag the clip down to the storyline at the bottom, the
program just up and crashes, no error message really, just the typical "has
encountered a problem with" pop up.

Any help?

Oh, and I did do the hardware acceleration change also, no help. I renamed
the matching codecs, no help.

You don't need to 'fix' things.... do file conversions before importing. See
my Cameras and Capture Devices > Types > Hard Drive page.
