Why do I get an ActiveMovie window when I play back audio and video in Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker: Frequently asked questions
This issue is often caused by the DirectShow Subtitle Filter (subtitds.ax) that is installed by a non-Microsoft program. The video transitions and effects already in Movie Maker are based on DirectShow. However, Movie Maker will quit unexpectedly if more than 100 DirectShow video transitions or video effects are installed on your computer. If video programs that contain additional DirectShow video transitions and video effects are installed on your computer, this may exceed the allowable amount.

Sometimes when I play a movie, the video is choppy or very pixelated. Why is that?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
Try downloading the movie to your computer and watching it locally. Sometimes choppiness occurs when we can't stream it to you quickly enough (because your connection is slow or our servers are overloaded). If you're watching an MPEG-4 that we derived from an original MPEG-2, we first reduce its size to 320 x 240 - a quarter of the resolution of NTSC video. We then translate it at 350 kbps, which is really borderline for that resolution. See similar questions...

edit] I randomly get no audio or no video when I play MP4's. Now what?

Troubleshooting Guide - CCCP
In 99% of all cases, this is caused by Nero's MP4 splitter (NDparser.ax) interfering. Most users have a working version of it, and then you usually never notice it since it just works (you won't get Haali's tray icon though). However, for some, seemingly random, users it's broken and doesn't provide either video or audio output. The solution to this problem is to unregister it, after verifying that it is indeed the culprit. This is most easily done using the CCCP Insurgent. See similar questions...
