Can't import video into Windows Movie Maker

Hello. I have a LITEON DVD/CD Burner (All Write) and am having problems importing video files into Windows Movie Maker after I burn a DVD (from a VHS tape) with the LITEON. When I click Properties, I notice the large files are in VOB format, smaller ones say BUP and DAT.If I finalize the DVD it will play in a home DVD player,but when I insert into my DVD drive of my Dell Computer and try to import to the Windows Movie Maker program, a window will pop up stating that "Windows does not support this file type". I would like to use the program to edit/cut/splice/add music to my home movies, which are on VHS. Can I convert the files to compatible format ? Or would you recommend another video editing program? Any help will be MUCH appreciated. Thank You.

Hi there,

Best possible option is to get a good video card that has inputs for your vhs player both sound and video,
it will come with the software needed to edit your own and to add those extra special features then write to disk also.

a good burning software is from www.nero.com
Trials available for download,

There are plenty of good softwares available for home editting but for good results do yourself a favour and get good Audio/Video card first time ,
compare with friends before buying even go look at them in use to see if your happy,

You'll be glad if you get good results from the start,

Movie maker You will need to check out the help section and compare the specs with NEROsite info,

Hope this helps,
Let me know of the outcome thanks

How do I transfer the mini DVD to Movie Maker

With your Recorded DVD-R Disc "Finalized", and in the DVD player on your computer, you should be able to browse to your videos with Movie Maker.

In MovieMaker, on the left side where it lists:
Movie Tasks
1. Capture Video
Capture from Video device
Import video . . .

You want to "Import Video", by clicking that and browsing to the DVD-R to find what could be MPG files, or VOB files. They're both MP2 DVD format video and audio files.

Tip: Right Clicking in the Import Video Dialogue Box where the files are listed and selecting View / Thumbnails, will present a view of the scenes in each video.
