Windows Live Movie Maker

[Mikee]

I have been using Windows Live Movie Maker to edit out adverts and excess from using the timer of films and Tv programs I have recorded through window media center. I know Windows Live Movie Maker is a bit shite, but it is the only free editing software I have found that will support the media center recorded format. I have also tried converting the file before editing but again haven't found a free conversion software that will do it.

Yesterday I did one and after I saved the finished edit, The sound was a few seconds out of sync. I deleted it and started again twice, re-booting my PC in between and it is still doing it. It has never done this before and I haven't just had an update or anything so I am a bit confused about why it's suddenly doing it.

I have searched the net and have found stuff about other people having the same or a similar problem but haven't found any solution to the problem.

Has anyone had this problem before or can anyone think of anything?

Any help will be appreciated.

Im not sure about Movie Maker but I know that Avid (Proper film editing one) has sync locks on the timeline that stop you from getting audio and video out of sync. Ive never used Movie Maker so I wouldnt know if it has it. If it does, are they off?

It doesn't have a audio timeline. Just a very basic video timeline. But when I open the little 4kb saved files that open up the original unedited videos but remembers what you have edited out, it is still in sync. It is only doing it when I save the edited video into a new video file that it goes out of sync.
