How did you get it to work, I think I have a problem similar to yours. Any
MPEG file that was generated through Picture Package isn ot recognized by any
video handling software, such as Movie Maker.

You either need to spend time finding apps to convert the file to dv-avi, it
can be done, but you need to buy programmes, or just give up on MM and buy
an app like Ulead videostudio9 which will work on mpegs. Mpegs were not
designed with editing in mind, so it's always going to be hard, check out
the pages at the bottom of this list for more info.
