movie maker

Movie Maker does not start on test system here. It provides a message about video card requirements being insufficient. However same system used in XP has no trouble with video card for video editing software (from multiple vendors).
Tried simple test. This is a dual boot system with XP Pro installed on C drive. Movie Maker from XP is there. Moved to that directory and started that version (XP Movie Maker running on Vista). It starts up just fine and all video editing functions are working.

I've got a WinSAT rating of 4, and it says my card is incompatible. Ppppft!

It's amazing to me what a huge impact your video card has in Vista. I knew you needed certain things for the Aero Glass. But apparently there's much more to it than that.

For what it's worth, Movie Maker works fine in 5308 for me. The only real difference I noticed is that when you import from a video camera it opens a separate little import app (the same one that opens when you choose File > Import from Camera or Scanner in Photo Gallery). On the Publish side it has the option to write to DVD and uses DVDMaker for the job. The format options are much different in both directions. Other than that I don't recall any major changes.

PapaJohn mentioned being able to import directly from a VOB on DVD, but I haven't tried that yet.

Has anyone been able to get the Movie Maker to work? I keep getting the same error: "General access denied error". If there's a way to reinstall Movie Maker I'd try that, but I can't figure out how.
Any suggestions?

I could not get it to work at first and then I updated my video drivers and now it works. Maybe you have a video driver or sound driver issue

A 3+ year old issue of Movie Maker dropping the 27th frame of a rendered DV-AVI file, when the source file is a DV-AVI file, is still with us in the latest Vista build.
I just ran a clip of 100 numbered frames through it, and checked to see if this generational loss issue was resolved... and it isn't. -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org

Ok, I presume and dearly hope that Windows Movie Maker for Vista will support the editing of HD video... as HD video cameras are soon to become common place. If so why not a name change like Windows Movie Maker HD? It'd be great for marketing purposes...
And as for your DVD burning software - it should support HD (HD-DVD)... that's a sure way to make the format succeed.
