My Flip Video Camera only produces sounds when editing it in Windows movie maker. Any ideas how to fix it?

So I've had this problem for about a year now and every time i record a video on my Flip Video Camera (original) it records fine. I can view the video perfectly on my camera but the problem comes into affect when I try to upload the videos onto my computer and edit them in windows movie maker. I am able to upload them into the FlipShare software and view it there, but when i try to send the videos to my windows movie maker it only produces the sound of the video and nothing else. If there is any ideas on how to fix it please help. I hope i provided enough info on my problem. thank you

You may get some information here about windows movie maker.

As you can see, wmm does not recognize flip cam videos. So you need a professional flip cam software to change the flip video format to wmm supportable video files. Read the following passage. Hope it can help you:

Good luck.

Hey Dan,

Check out trakAxPC Pro. It's a new editing suite that allows you to edit and mix any combination of audio, video and photos and works great with Flip camera. You can do effects, text, split screen, reverse, slow-motion etc, plus upload your video directly to YouTube through the application. There's a free and paid version available.

You can check it out here: http://www.trakax.com/software/pc/

Hope this helps

Hi, ,windows movie maker cannot accept flip video format directly. So you need a third software to convert flip video to wmm compatible formats. Windows movie maker is friendly to wmv, mpg, avi, etc formats. Recommend you a professional flip video converter which can not only help you to convert flip video to wmm format but also to other popular formats with ease. If you wanna keep the original high quality, you may choose to convert to HD WMV format.

You may download the trial version to evaluate it. Hope it can help you. lol

here is a fact that Windows Movie Maker didn’t play nice with Slide HD as well as Flip

Ultra and Mino HD. The problem is with the video codec that the Flip uses: MPEG-4 AVI/H.264

encoded MP4 format. Windows 7 or Windows Movie Maker lacks native support for playing MP4

videos. You will have to download and install extra codec for MP4 support (XP and Vista

does this automatically).There is a compatiblity issue with your
source files.Many formats are reportedly compatible with
Movie Maker but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv-avi
Music - wma, wav, wmv
Doremisoft Flip Slide HD to Windows Movie Maker Converter can professionally help you view or edit a video inside of Windows Movie Maker/WMM.

Flip movie files mostly recorded in mp4 file format, currently there are Flip Mino/Mino HD, Flip Ultra/Ultra HD and the latest released Flip Slide HD camera record.mp4, the awkwardness of Microsoft movie maker only takes WMV, AVI and MPG file, among them, WMV is the most popular one. And the first step to get flip video to windows movie maker is to convert/change flip video.mp4 to wmv.

Step by step on how to convert flip video (HD).mp4 to wmv for import movie maker:
