I'm having real trouble finding a program to allow me to do want I want to do... I want to edit, splice, mash up video... using Divx files/ mov / and mpeg-1. Windows Movie Maker would be fine if it were just mpeg-1s concerned. But, I have the Divx videos and mov's that I wanna use as well together with the mpeg-1's.
This goal proves extra hard, since I need a free solution. (or as close to free as possible)
I haven't found a solution yet... not even an expensive solution.
I've tried thinking of various things and then searching for such programs.
Different possibilities could be
-a program that does it all (allows you to import all file types, edit within that prog, and export to a format of your choosing)
-Or, a program that just converts Divx and Mov to Mpeg-1 & after the conversion I'll import it all into Windows Movie Maker and begin editing
-Or, a program that converts Mpeg-1 and Mov to Divx that also allows you to edit/cut Divx format and allows you to export to DVD for unrestricted viewing
Hopefully someone has a solution
Please tell me
Adobe Premiere Elements can do everything you need, I think. They have a free trial, try it out.

TMPGEnc didn't work out for you?
also, it looks like Windows Movie Maker can import DivX videos...

Take this to the geek forum. If I can't talk about baseball then you can't talk about boring computer stuff. ;oP
Really strange it says something about that, because Windows Movie Maker doesn't even show the Divx files when going to choose what file you want to import. Then if you hit the drop down to select "All Files" and then select a Divx file to import it gives this message "The file C:\....\...divx is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker."
do you have the full divx codec installed?
No idea. How do I find out? I can definately watch the Divx movies. But Windows Movie Maker says it's a file type that can't be imported.
just try reinstalling it from www.divx.com.
I dunno, I just tried to import a divx file in Movie Maker in Vista, and it worked fine. But who knows, maybe it's different in Vista.
oh yeh, I have XP not Vista, that could be the trouble
