AVI files in Windows movie maker

[alb0679]

I have a camera which records film clips in AVI. format. I have tried adding these to the 'timeline' in windows movie maker, however when I 'drag' them to the timeline it will not allow me to add it to the 'video' line, only to the 'audio'. Subsequently on playback there is nw video displayed. Can i get around this?
Thanks
Alb.

you need to get the codecs to handle avi files.

Something like this

I assume you are trying to make a DVD. If so make sure that your DVD player accepts avi/DivX files - not all do.
