    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. http://www.vconsoft.com/flip-video-converter/import-flip-video-to-windows-movie-maker/ You may download the trial version to evaluate it. Hope it can help you. lol

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.

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. http://www.flip-converter.com/article-flip-windows/edit-flip-slidehd-video-in-WMM/
