Q: I have a video from my digital camera that I recently loaded onto my computer. I had never played these videos on my new computer before, but I knew I needed DIVX to play them on my old computer, so I downloaded it. The videos played fine when using Windows Media Player (I could see and hear everything, and there was a small "DIVX" watermark in the corner of the video). However, when I try to use Windows Movie Maker, it only plays the sound (no picture). Also, the included "DIVX" player only plays the video (no sound). Any suggestions?
