Windows Movie Maker 5.1 for XP-SP2

[fremontjohn]

Hi,

This is my first post. I'm running a Dell 4300 (old) w/Windows XP w/SP2, 1.7gB Pentium-4 processor. I have a CD drive and a DVD drive.

I am trying to import video taken on professional digital video gear but, I can't seem to. Movie Maker doesn't recognize the video nor how to open the files. These may be MPEG3 or MPEG4 files, I don't know but they are a common digital movie file format. How can I import these to Movie Maker? Or, do I need to get this or that kind of driver/software/decoder something or other.

What shows in the file are files marked as:

Video_TS.BUP
Video_TS.ISO
Video_TS.VOB

How do I get this into Movie Maker for editing and uploading to the web?

Thanks,

Monty

Thanks Zipperman,

Oddly, my son was able to use Movie Maker to edit a copy I sent to him of the same DVD that I am unable to even import to Movie Maker. I can play the DVD, I just can't edit it or do anything with it.
