Windows movie maker HUGE problem!!!!?

Question

In school we have to do a very important 2 minute video. We are given our own Windows laptops and we share 7 video cameras. Due next wednesday. Every one (class of 23) has uploaded video fine, and they are working in movie maker (we have to), there video quality is great. BUT when I upload my videos I follow the same exact procedure as everyone else, and my recorded tape looks GREAT on playback on the video camera, but when it is finished loading on my computer it comes up blurrier than everyone elses, like random blobs of my video are out of focus, the screen will have random pixels (rare). So me and my teacher did the folllowing trying to solve it:

-Used a different camera (same tape)

-Used a different tape different camera

-Uploaded the video on another computer

-Used different firewires/cords

-Uploaded someones elses video on my computer (wouldnt upload to my computer??)

-Traded my computer in for a new one

-The camera is on auto focus

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

sorry for the bad grammar

Answer 1

Hi - your approach to problem solving is spot on, but you haven't told us what happened when you tried each of those things.  Does everything give you blurred results?  What happens if someone else uploads your video?  You said you couldn't upload someone else's video - what happened when you tried?  Have you tried a third person's tape?
