Use Windows Movie Maker To Edit DVR-MS…Natively
There has been a very long standing
hack on The Green Button for
opening DVR-MS files in Windows Movie Maker for direct editing and compressing
to WMV. When it was first posted almost
two years ago I tried a few times and had no luck with it. Recently Bryan posted it in a thread and I tried it
again to see if I could get it to work.
What do you know, it did this time!
Here’s what you do to get it working.
Open Notepad and paste the following in it.

Save the file with a .reg extension (example: MM2.reg) and
then double click on it to merge it with your existing registry.
A reboot is always a good idea, and then just open Windows
Movie Maker just import the DVR-MS of your choice. Edit and compress away.
