Question / Help windows movie maker wont work with obs?

[larry hatfield]

when i load my videos into movie maker they come up as a black screen with no audio; so i was wondering if there was a way to edit my videos for free or if im just going to have to stream. (and a note my videos come up just fine in windows media player)

Known issue. This will be fixed quite easily for recording in the rewrite, but for the time being with the current verison, there are multiple ways of solving the problem:

Re-encode the file with ffmpeg. Just convert it from MP4/FLV to AVI with this sort of command line: ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 output_file.avi

I really don't think windows movie maker supports the latest and greatest file formats and encoders, so you may have no choice but to re-encode.
