I seriously cannot figure out how to solve this so I'm turning to you guys.

My computer, for some reason, has issues converting AVI to WMV. It never used to do this before - it's only for the past few months.

Whenever I import an AVI file to Windows Movie Maker and then save it as a new WMV file, the new WMV file plays the audio but there is no picture (ie its a blank screen). Even if I import both AVI and WMV files, put them together and then save them, when I playback the new saved file, the WMV sections show the video fine but the AVI parts are just blank.

Also, I tried burning a bunch of AVI files to DVD, and it did the exact same thing. On playback, only a blank screen with audio was shown.

The AVI files play perfectly fine on their own before Windows Movie Maker/burning them to DVD.

Obviously I would assume that this is a codec problem. I've downloaded a whole bunch of codec packages. I've even tried Gspot, in which it just tells me that the AVI version of the file needs DivX (which I already have) and the WMV version needs WMV3 which I also have. As all of my other WMV files play perfectly fine.

Anyone know what to do??
