Windows Movie Maker Tutorials from MightyCoach.com
The Special Education-Assistive Technology folks here had made video clips for a CD-ROM they also wanted to stream via the web. Their assistant asked me for help… they were MPGs, and he could convert them to QuickTime with QuickTime Pro, but no audio…. Hrmmm. I haven’t found anything that successfully converts it. Yet.
While searching, however, I came across Mighty Coach, a site with some helpful tutorials on Windows Movie Maker, among other programs. Pay particular attention to the tip on project organization and avoiding accidental deletions of important files.

Tim,
I found two programs that appear to have successfully demuxed the .mpg files we were working with: bbDEMUX and mpgtxwrap.
The problem is now to recombine them into a .mov file. QT 6.5Pro doesn’t seem to want to copy the audio file for inclusion, and the jury is still out on iMovie as I’m importing the video file at this time.
I’ll let you know if I’m successful.

Thanks, Art. Can you give links to those apps?

Tim,
I’ve subequently found a better way to do it all as the deMuxed files seemed to work intermittently.
(1) Using Quicktime 6.5 Pro “Save As” a ‘Self-Contained’ file.
(2) Strip the audio using Audio HiJack Pro to create a .aiff file.
(3 Combine both files in iMovie.
Quick Time and iMovie are both available from Apple; http://www.apple.com and Audio Hijack Pro is available from Rogue Amoeba Software: http://www.rogueameba.com.
