playback & saving mpgs

Win XP Pro, service pack 2, movie maker 2.1
AVI, WMV & some MPG play ok and can be saved as movies in any format.
Some MPG only play sound and will not save, message says the file has
vanished or I've run out of disk space, neither is true.
MPG of MPEG1 Layer 1 type may or may not work, works if thumbnail shows in
explorer, no other MPG type works????
All my MPGs play fine in media player just movie maker that's the problem.
Any ideas anyone? pleeeeze
