I have windows 7 with configuration core i7-920 processor, 6GB RAM, dual GTX 260 video cards, and win 7 64bit. I am getting an error while trying to use camcorder to download, edit, and create a DVD using windows live movie maker. I am using canon HV 40, the video was recorded in the HDV format. As doing all the above my computer does not download the videos but it recognize the camcorder. It always went on the windows live movie maker window when I try to select the download option and select the camera but does not copy the content. After all this movie maker starts and it stops the camera. Now I am not getting what is happening over there and what do I do to get the desired solution. Please help me.

• Video file types (format)
• Windows Media Video (WMV) files, Windows Media files, AVCHD files, Apple QuickTime files etc.
• Photo file types (format)
• Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) files, Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files etc.
• Audio file types (format)
• Windows Media Audio (WMA) files, MP3 audio files etc.

I just need a clarification that is you using windows live is that you have downloaded from the windowslive .com or from some other sites. If you have done it from the other site then that may be corrupted I would like to suggest you to use the genuine site software. If you are downloading anything then download it from the authorized sites which are developing that particular software. Are you getting the error at the time of importing the video? I think this may be a cause that you may be using the transfer of the video without using windows live movie maker then add the windows live movie maker to the videos which you are importing. Try doing this may be helpful to you.
