Windows Vista Update

Codec screw up

Two or three years ago, me and my best friend made a movie out of all the video clips put together on Movie Maker.

It was a forty five minute long movie all made out of video clips we recorded. My movie maker worked perfectly because, since we'd shot all the clips on my Kodak camera and uploaded them onto my laptop, I had to do all the editing and all that good stuff.

It worked absolutely perfect, but I accidentally changed the password to my Windows Vista Dell laptop, and I couldn't figure it out, so my dad had to reload the factory disc that came with my laptop.

all my pictures and videos had been moved out of my Kodak camera software, some of them into the recycle bin, so first I had to go restore all of those, then I had to go find all the software discs that had all the programs that were on my laptop before and reload them.

Right after i got my laptop to work again, I made a claymation which I called Emonkstarfrog, and i took like three hundred pictures.

Then, I put them together in Movie Maker without a problem, then edited a song into it.

Perfect again. Me and my friend decided to make a second movie just like the first, only a whole lot funnier with different edits and stuff.

Once again, we'd shot everything on my camera, which put it all on my laptop, so I had to do the editing. For some reason, the Codec wouldn't work.

It wouldn't let me use any videos or pictures from my camera.

I haven't been able to find anything to fix it, and its getting on my nerves because i really want to make another movie, but i can't fix it.... :(
