Hi everyone.
I've been happily using Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7 with .mpg files. I'm halfway through a project and was recently advised to move to Windows 8/8.1 so I backed everything up, saved my project and video files and took the plunge with Windows 8.
Having installed Movie Maker I loaded in my project. I had to repoint to my video files but that was fine. However, although I can hear the sound, I now can't see any video! On checking with Microsoft I should be able to use .mpg files so can anyone advise me as to what I'm doing wrong? I've tried re-naming to .mov and .mpeg, all to no avail, yet they all play fine in Media Player.
I really don't want to have to re-install Windows 7 but if I have to then so be it.
Many thanks.
