Hi, I'm relatively new to the forum but I figured you guys would be able to help me.

So basically my video editor only accepts "WMV" or "AVI". My camcorder records in "MPEG-4 Movie" so I use Format Factory from another lockergnome video to convert. When I convert them and try to edit in my program the audio is never complete. It always cut off half way or the video just goes black. The program I use to edit is VideoSpin by Pinnacle. I use Windows Movie Maker to but VideoSpin has better features so I prefer it better. Can someone please help me?!?! It's not like this needs to be made into a video but a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated!!

Try Prism Video Converter from NCH Software. It works well for most files, and generally as well for MP4 to WMV or AVI as well.

Good luck!

Is the video converter causing the problem, Check the video after it is converted.

It could also be a different format inside the avi container (like xvid, microsoft video 1, Motion JPEG, MPEG format, etc) that the editor doesn't like

You could try Avidemux to convert the video. It is free and open source and supports a wide selection of formats. Get it HERE

Avidemux can also be used as a time line editor, but I think you will be better off with Movie Maker or Pinnacle.

if pinnacle is free, i can't match it, but if it isn't, try camtasia studio. It's got a wide range of effects, callouts, zoom effects, cursor effects, and loads more!

Been using VideoReDo Plus for several years to edit the commercials out of the TV shows I record with 3 TV Tuners. It handles MPG/DVR-MS...but not WTV.
