That could very well be. The WLMM reencodes the file and may add something that makes the difference. I also found that WLMM works better with .avi than with .wmv - strange too.Here is the stupid part.....
I have to save the video first to my computer, then re-insert the video back to WLMM. Then Edit options come to live.
So.....
If I want to make a movie, I insert all the pictures and, maybe music files, and without the options to do editing, I have to " save " the project, then re-insert the movie back to WLMM, then do my editing ?
That is wild !!
Time to look for a " real " movie maker.

I am having this same issue and none of the suggestions have been helpful so far. The background color is still grayed out.
Has anyone questioned why Microsoft has not fixed this issue? That seems like the obvious answer. Is there a newer version I need to download?
Welcome to SF TOJohnsom, you cant try this Windows Live Essentials: Movie Maker
I don't use it, or any video editor but it may be a newer one that what you have.
Some of THESE tutorials may help out.
I think we all question MS often.
