You need to be more specific about your issue. What happens when you attempt to import your .AVI file(s)

Adding an .AVI file causes it to crash everytime. I have tried different .AVI's but to no avail. I haven't tried on another machine yet. I'm using RC2

I get same problem with Vista RTM that I did with RC2. When I try to import an .AVI file with windows movie maker, it crashes the program. I have latest Nero installed and it works well for encoding and burning DVD's - but I don't understand why Movie Maker bombs when you try to import an .AVI file.

.AVI files don't show up as a valid file to import - Vista seems to only want MPEG types.

I just launch DVD Maker, press "Add Items": it selects "Media Files (*.avi;*.mpg;*.m1v;...)" (this is the default filter).

I have an avi file, and it is listed in the dialog box as a valid file to import. I am not able to reproduce your issue.

Are you well using DVD Maker, the Add Items and the correct file filter

How come I can't import .AVI files in Movie Maker or DVD Maker I want to burn DVD's using .AVI as source.

Crashes in this area are typically video driver issues or codec issues. You can try to troubleshoot this issue by updating your video driver, updating your codecs, or using source files with a different encoding.

Whenever I try to add an .avi file, I am getting the error message that it is either an invalid file or the file is corrupted. It isn't in any way corrupted as I have viewed the whole avi file and there isn't a thing wrong with it. I have tried several different .avi files to repro this and get the same issue with every one. Does anyone know of any software that will convert .avi to .dvd in Windows Vista. I have tried ConvertX to dvd, but it won't read my dvd burner in Vista, but will in XP.

Hi Ready4u,

The only built-in support for DVD burning in Windows Vista is via the DVD Maker application. DVD Maker does support importing from a camcorder (perhaps via Movie Maker). Please try this out and let us know if you are looking for something different.

Thanks,

Crashes in Movie Maker and DVD Maker are typically caused by third party codecs which get put into our process when we render the video files. Fortunately you can tell Movie Maker and DVD Maker to stop these filters from being used within our processes. Try going to the Compatibility tab in MovieMaker and turn off the filters that appear and then try importing the files again.

See the following post for more details on what this does.
