Editing different video format files with the windows movie maker

The main problem in editing files with windows movie maker is that it supports only limited number of formats. On the other side, we have VLC player, and open source software that supports almost all formats.

In this article we provided step by step guide to first use the X format video files into .mpg file which are seamlessly supported by windows movie maker.

  1. Open VLC player
  2. Click Media=>convert/save
  3. Add the video file you want to edit
  4. Click on convert/save
  5. Provide the path of the output file. Use .mpg as extension
  6. In the settings box, click on the "Create new profile" (Rightmost of the three buttons)
  7. Select MPEG-TS encapsulation
  8. Click on video codec and select MPEG-1
  9. Click on Audio Codec and select MP3
  10. Give appropriate name to the profile and save
  11. Use this profile to convert the files now
Cheers!!!!
