Default Windows MMV importing AVIs as audio files only


Brand new computer running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I tried
downloading the Vista codecs pack and also the Xvid codecs (as that's
what Gspot told me I needed for these AVIs) and now I can get them to
play in Windows Media Player but Movie Maker still won't import/identify
them as video files, only audio. (I have restarted both the program and
the computer a few times, with no luck.)
I've also tried going under Tools--Options--Compatibility and
unchecking the AVI decompression box (have tried it with box both
checked and unchecked).
Any other ideas?

Movie Maker runs as 64-bit on the 64-bit system. Thus you would need a
64-bit version of the codec in question.

-Movie Maker runs as 64-bit on the 64-bit system. Thus you would need a-
-64-bit version of the codec in question.-

I downloaded a Vista Codec pack (which I'm guessing must be 64-bit)
from shark007.net which said I wouldn't need any other codecs, but you
think I also need a separate 64-bit Xvid codec?

In my experience Xvid rarely works at all in movie maker, even if you have
the right codec installed, so I'd recommend converting this file to a wmv
video file.
Lots of free apps will do it, some listed here
