Lost Video Island

Hey, i have been using WMM for a while now, and i am suddenly having a really wierd (and VERY annoying) problem with it. It's hard to explain, but i'm gunna have a go, because it is really bugging me.

The song that i am using for my video is 3 minutes and 36 seconds long. But when i import it into WMM it keep saying it's 5 minutes 44 seconds long!
And then, if i play the part of the project i have done so far (Which is only about 15 seconds) from the begining, it is in time with the music. But if i start playing it from a little while in, it is all out of time and the clips don't fit. So everytime i want to cut a clip down so it is in time with the music, it have to play the whole project to find out where i am and where i need to cut it.
This isn't so much of a problem at the moment, but as i go along and the video gets longer, it's going to get more and more annoying.


I bet that made no sense whatsoever did it? lol.

But it really is annoying me, so if anybody understands what i am talking about then any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

This has happened a few times to me too. I think it has something to do with the song file or something

What I do: Drop the song into the timeline and save it by itself as a wma, then replace the screwed up file with what you've saved. The file you made will say 5:44 but if you play it form the middle or something it'll be 3:36 (hopefully) Hope that helps.

My WMM did the same thing to me on one song but ive now lost that file anyway due to my laptop having to be completly restarted and none of the ones ive been working on since have done it...
