It’s most likely not the right format. Use a different camcorder and then you can save the movie as an NTSC HD file after you are finished. It’s either that or your computer has something wrong with it. Try getting different software and/ get a Macbook. Mac>PC in my opinion.
Might be wrong video file.
If it is wrong Movie windows maker
will take it as a different video file
and wont b able to play it.
HD video editing is memory and resource intensive, so you probably need to upgrade your computer to a faster computer at least a dual processor. You also need lots of memory, especially if you are using Vista. Vista requires 1 Gig just to work well. So Increase your memory to 4 gigs if it will take it.
Even editing video in SD requires a strong process and lots of memory. I have 3.5 gig memory, a good graphics card with 156 megs or higher, and a dual processor.
Start with just a memory upgrade and see if that works. Upgrading memory is really easy.
If you plan to do a lot of video editing then use a HD version Sony Movie Vegas or Pinnacle Studios which cost more, is more simplistic in many ways, but can handle a wider range of firewire and input connections.
Check with Windows Help/support… HD may not be in the list of supported formats. Try other intermediate editors:
