Hi,

I've downloaded some files from the internet to edit something for a competition. But they are mpeg but when i try and import into avid it says 'cannot import m1v'

Sorenson Squeeze won't import them either to convert.

The only other editing software i hav is Windows Movie Maker, so but that only exports to .wmv or .avi niether or which will import into avid....

I've been trying to import into Window Movie Maker, export as .wmv and then use Sorenzen Squeeze to convert to various files, but not having much like. Also tried recording onto my camera to recapture but play back is jagged.

Any help would be much appreciated, as the closing date is this friday and i really wanted to enter

You can use software like MPEG Streamclip to convert these files to .mov. I know that there are others out ther for Windows too if anyone else has suggestions.

you could try and rename the files to mpg see if they are picked up by Sorensen then.. works sometimes.
