• The music will not play on my Windows Movie Maker 2.6 video?

  I've converted .mp3 to .wav files so that they are compatible with Movie Maker 2.6, but they don't always work. I even tried to convert .wma but still nothing. Work files, they play fine on Windows Media Player but when I add them to the video there is no sound. Help, please!
   
  The video is a video, hypercam if that helps. Which is a .avi format. Does it matter?

  Hello JackySC,

  1. What is the operating system installed on your computer?

  MP3 and Avi files are compatible with Movie Maker 2.6 and should work. However, if you are not able to read files with this, I suggest you install Windows Live Movie Maker and check if you have the same problem.

• I can't uninstall/reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker and photo gallery!

  Well, I need recently the Movie Maker for editing stuff. I looked at theStart > all programs list but is not there. Yet once I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials, but it says I already have Windows Movie Maker on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer (or maybe it's there, I just don't know how to find it). I also tried opening appwiz.cpl and checked Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery, but the entries are not there. So I can't proceed with the following steps in Microsoft Help Tutorials.

  If anyone can help me uninstall/reinstall the Movie Maker? Step by step, perhaps?

  Thank you!

• Why can I play a WMV video that I created, but not import it into Windows Movie Maker?

  Why do I get the error message "the file * *.wmv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer." If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. "even if I CAN play the video in Windows Media Player?

  I have a Windows Media Video file I recorded using another program. I can open the video and watch it in Windows Media Player, but when I try to import into Windows Movie Maker (as I did with the other videos I recorded), I get a message saying that it cannot be imported "because the necessary codec to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. "I tried to close Windows Movie Maker and reopening, she even tried to restart my computer, but it still does not work.

  Hello

  ·         What program did you use for recording to WMV file?

  ·         Are you having similar problem when you try to import the WMV file, which is not recorded by this program?

  Method 1:

  Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists this kind of file. You will not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is supplied with Windows. In this case, you can re - encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio.

  To download the Windows Media Encoder, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

• Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  Error messages:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
  -Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  Recent changes to your problem:

  What have you tried to solve the problem:
  Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  Error messages:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)

  What have you tried to solve the problem:
  Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  =============================================
  The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
  It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
  an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

  So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

  If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
  import into Movie Maker.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
  (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
  Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

  First... after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  For information on playback of MP4 files... the following article may be worth a visit:

• . Treated AVI as Audio in Movie Maker and corrupt in Windows DVD Maker.

  I have a lot of. AVI files I want to burn to a DVD.  I do not have another series of. Notice to try with these programs to see if it's just them.

  Windows Movie Maker treats as Audio files, I tried to disable compatibility filters.  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

  Creating Windows DVD said me:

  0 files were added successfully.

  File (s) X could not be added.

  The files

  [Name of file]

  is not valid or is corrupted.

  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

  I tried to convert the files with "Any Video Converter", but there is a substantial loss of the quality of .wmv and mpeg conversion.

  I tried "of Aimersoft DVD Creator' trial, but video lags behind audio when I play the video in this program.  The videos show very well "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".

  How can I fix these files. AVI or convince Movie Maker and DVD Maker to care for them properly?

  Thank you j of volunteering.

  I used Freemake for one of the .avi files convert an .avi file. This increased the size of the file by more than 300% no change in quality.  Windows Live Movie Maker considers the new .avi properly, but not creating Windows DVD or Windows Movie Maker, they still refuse to import or use it as audio, respectively.

  I have converted the new .avi to .wmv with Freemake file and it seems that the quality is actually improved from the original. Windows DVD Maker will accept this new .wmv.

  I'll convert others, burn and return with the results for the benefit of anyone else who has this problem.

  Convert .avi .avi files then .wmv and burn with Windows DVD Maker have exceptional results.  As seen on TV quality is slightly better than the quality of the original .avi files on the computer.  Don't know what attribute this too, but I'm pretty happy.
  Sorry for the late reply, but it took time to convert, convert, burn and test.

  Thank you very much for the help.
