Windows Movie Maker not importing the full video

[Nintendo Fan]

Not sure if this belongs here so please move it if it doesn't belong here.

I imported a video that was 11m:40s long, but Windows Movie Maker only imports the video up to 3m:20s. I watched the video from the desktop with Windows Media Player and it played the full 11m:40s, so it's not a corrupt video or anything. It also plays the full 11s:40m in the little preview area in WMM, but the slider stops at 3m:20s and doesn't move anywhere despite the video still continuing. When I drag it into the time-line, the video will end at 3m:20s and will shift to the far right of the time-line where it is empty.

Also with another video, it imported it as 2m:12s when it really only is 1m:12s; this left the video with a full minute of nothingness after it was finished playing.

I imported another video that was 12m:30s long and converted the exact same way as those aforementioned two and it was imported flawlessly as a 12m:30s video like it should.

These are videos of my video game and were recorded via VGA with my Aiptek A-HD+ camcorder (like a capture card). They are .mov files and I used SUPER to convert them to .avi; the same method I always have done and WMM has never given me problems with them.

I tried importing the video as clips just to see what would happen, and once it reached the end it continued to count past 100%, past 200% and it said 71582 (get's cut off here) minutes are remaining in the import. When it was really finished after a few minutes contrary to the glitched-up estimated time, the clips did not change anything with the time of the video; the last clip still ended at the same time.

I don't understand what's going on. WMM has worked with tons of these exact same types of files before and gave me no problems at all. Now it's being all weird; what could be the problem?

Convert to avi with what codec? Maybe try convert the mov with something else just to try. Try mp4camtoavi for example or change codec in super.

I totally forgot I even made this thread on this site.

Anyway, I posted this same thread on Windows Movie Maker forums, and I was told to convert to .wmv with my SUPER and it works that way.

So yeah. Problem solved.
