Can I use Movie Maker? I have Windows XP
I want to take my kids VHS movies and edit, combine and create a DVD. I have Windows XP. Can I use Movie Maker?
You will need to use a DV camera to import into Movie Maker. An alternative would be to use a tuner / capture card to record from a VCR using the tuner (or Media Center, if you have one) software.

Recovery of individual photos of a mpeg. Can I use movie maker?
You can delete individual photos of a mpeg file in windows movie maker? If not, is there a program where you can?
Hello stacyjill1999,
The best way to do it would be to take a snapshot when you play the file. When you try to play the MPEG file, try to take a snapshot by pressing print screen on your keyboard.
Open MS paint and paste the snapshot and save the file under. JPEG.
You can also use any third party software to take pictures by searching using your favorite search engine.

I use a USB 2.0 TV BOX (its software is "InterVideo WinDVR") to activate my old family videos VHS and DVR (VCR/DVD via RCA cables drive) of video files.
The files are anywhere from 4 or 5 MB .5MB (mainly), with one or two files like 7MB, depending on the family event.
Once I created the new video files, I have no problem to watch with Windows Media Player (and they look beautiful, as there was almost no loss of photo quality and or sound in the transfer at all - very very nice).
Then I will import the video clips/files newly created in Movie Maker (I have Movie Makers version 2.1). in order to make new compilations video, eager to add effects and transitions and music in Movie Maker.
The newly created files seem to import no problem... but when I try to preview... the sound plays very well but there is no video... only in black on the preview screen (the few times I tried this I had to close Movie Maker).
I tried moving them dirrectly to the timeline and then see them and play a clip, but then when I clicked the back button to replay the same thing above occurs, black in the preview with sound window.
I did some reading online to try to understand, and...
I tried to import the file/clip directly on the timeline and then finishing/recording on my computer and then importing the wma file that results, but the same thing, black with sound.
What am I what am I doing wrong or what do I need get this working... grandmas are starting to nag... lol
Thanks a lot for any help or advice anyone can offer me, time and review.

Impossible to import a clip in Windows Live movie maker or regular Windows movie maker avi video
Original title: Director of windows
I can't import a clip avi video in windows movie maker direct or regular windows movie maker. Only the audio comes through. If I have the video edited and produced in other video software, such as cyberlinkthen the video and audio will come by for me to change. I am able to import it into windows movie maker. I use vista 64-bit. What should I do to make this work? Do I need a special codec? I use a hp pavilion p6140f computer
Michael
Hi Michael,
1. This only happens with a particular file type?
This seems to be a codec problem. Some files supported by Windows movie maker again you will need to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
You can use your favorite search engine to download and install a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »
I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.
When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".
When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.
Any ideas?
Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.
==================================================
Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?
They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
Converter would be worth a try.You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)
There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
perhaps never the problem.(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

Unable to save my movie in high resolution using Movie Maker 2.6 (Win 7)
Hello:
I spent a ton of time and produced a slide show of wedding for the wedding of my daughter with overlay of music and various transitions. After all that work, I can't save my project in the movies high resolution using Movie Maker 2.6. I tried to go up to 512K Broadband (except option). But anything on this resolution, the film becomes black at some point. But you can still here the music. Why? Is it possible to go to resolutions higher for a slide show of bin? It is a powerful laptop with plenty of memory.
I have closed all other applications. Uncontrolled codec / file type compatibility etc. No difference. BTW, the file does not transfer or open to the latest Live Movie Maker help. That might have been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Can I use my product key of Windows 7 on an other coumputer?'
I have a laptop of chromos Samsung series 7 which is preinstalled with windows 7. I wanted to do a clean install of windows 7 to get rid of all the bloat ware that was installed so I download the iso of windows 7 digital river. I used the activation key that was on the thumbnail of my laptop. Which is a different key to the OEM key that was on my laptop. I don't have a desk top of HP I want to install windows 7 on. My question is if I reinstall OEM on my laptop will only release the activation key that was on the sticker on my laptop so I can then use the key to install Windows 7 on my desktop. Or is the key that is on the sticker that is locked to my laptop?

The key on the sticker is tied to your laptop. The key you've seen as (OEM), is a key used by Samsung in the production.
