Editing video - what am I doing wrong?!

[monkeypuzzeltree]

Finally editing a lot of clips some Avi files (from iphone) and some m2ts (from my video cam). I thought it would be simple to use the windows movie maker, import them all and join together but the m2ts files just turn to fuzz when I publish a video.

What am I doing wrong? Should I be using better software?!

Many thanks!

I would suspect that you do not have the codec installed for m2ts... whatever m2ts is! m2ts may just be the wrapper, the video inside the wrapper may be encoded using a codec of some type.

CNET: Media Player Codec Pack Plus
Could try this codec pack. It contains a lot of different codecs so chances are one might work.

Then once you can playback the video on your computer, with luck media maker will be able to import it.

Thanks, appreciate that- I'm on a steep learning curve!
