    I've used Movie Maker a little with my own videos, but I'm still very new to this.

    Now I want to extract a short clip from a 50-minute MPEG-4. Movie maker says it needs a codec. I more or less know what a codec is, but only in principle. I don't know where they come from: do I expect to buy them or find them from Microsoft, or what?

    I've tried looking for them, but there's a lot of details I don't understand -- it seems they are advertised for many different versions of Movie Maker, let alone other software. How will I know I've found one that's usable?

    What do I do to install one of these?

    Any help appreciated.
