Timeline not showing more than 15 mins of video

I have added it as an mpg file (having come straight from vob). But since
then i have tried adding it as an avi and wmv and it is working ok, so I'll
see how I go from here...

For interest sake where can i find the slow down half effect & what does it
do?

==================
The .mpg file was your problem:

Have a look at the following articles:

File type compatibility with Movie Maker

Which file type should I use in Movie Maker?

In movie maker the Effects are accessed
in the Collections pane on the left of your
screen...or at...Tools / Video Effects

In WinXP Movie Maker version 2.1 the
slow down half effect insures that all frames
are displayed and the clip is played at half
speed.
