solidfoamsoul | Windows movie maker blows ass

So first, I download the old Windows Movie Maker because the one that comes with Windows 7 is incredibly difficult to use if you, ya know, want to SEE what you want in your video's time line. (Not going into that...)

Then I was having problems with the video in the WMM timeline not showing up. When I played the clips by themselves it worked fine. When I played the clip in the timeline it's black. Audio but no video.

So I figure it's codecs. DLed codecs, nothing happened. Okay, so maybe it's AVI files. I decide to "create video" to see what I should convert it to (and I'd have to find a converter before that) but it tells me I can't save it because of whatever whatever that isn't true.
