Cannot import Quicktime. MOV in WMM files

I get this message:
The C:\Users\User\Videos\Charlie's Bath2.MOV file 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.

I have updated to the latest version of Quicktime closed and restarted.  Don't know what else to do.  Cannot find out how to convert MOV file to any other type.

================================
Might be worth trying to convert .mov files
format .wmv before import into Movie Maker.

The following freeware can convert:

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

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
all the boxes on the last screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)

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

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

That should do it...

  • Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file.

    I'm not a frequent user of Photoshop, but for some time I still get the error message "Cannot import the Clipboard because the file is not a TIFF file."

    Extremely annoying actually.   Is there something that can be done?

    Another application place a TIFF file in the Clipboard, or at least advanced he was TIFF.

    When Photoshop or the desired BONE scan TIFF, there (because it cannot really be given TIFF).

    You need to understand what other application puts bad data on the system Clipboard.

  • First Pro CC2014 cannot import a CanonC300 of MXF files.

    Hi, for some reason Premiere Pro CC2014 cannot import a CanonC300 of MXF files. It only happens with this file. It is may be damaged, but the file exists (I can open it and see with VLC). The structure of the file is: AA318801. AA318802 MXF. AA3188 MXF. XML AA3188. AA3188 XMP. CIF AA3188. THM AA318801. FIS AA3188. CPF. Something funny, it's the 2nd MXF file has zero byte. Media Encoder cannot import as well. I am working on Mac Mavericks. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you

    Hi Kevin. It turns out that to solve this problem all I needed was to copy the. MXF file on his record (where all the.) CIF. FIS and the rest of the files are). I just copied it 3 levels upward and now first Pro CC can be seen. The previous version of CC and later.

    In revenge, nor precedent, or later can import the file if it remains within its original folder.

    I guess that it is a workaround, but I hope that the problem will be solved in a more solid manner in future releases.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, wmv

    Might be worth trying to convert your MP3 files to the
    Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are to many free converters available on the net...
    download from Koyotesoft is an example:

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

    Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
    http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
    (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
    Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
    may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
    MP3 Cutter)

    After installing the program... open and drag and drop
    your audio files on the main screen...

    Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
    "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
    files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

    Choose a format...

  • PreProCs4 rendering with imported QuickTime Movie problem

    I made an animation of colors... hand drawn frame by frame in Flash CS4.  I exported the file as a QuickTime movie and it imported into CS4 Pro Prem.  It was fine until I made.  Now that the previous and after the images appear as shadows on the actual image as it moves on the screen.  Am I missing something?  I read in my Flash instruction book How to export animations so they can be used in Prem Pro so I don't understand why this is happening.  Help...

    Have you speed up or slow down the images in the Pr?  Regardless, uncheck mixture of framework for the clip and see if things improve.  Mixture of frame's context menu.

  • Cannot import a brand book .json file (a file HTML BM or BM Chrome)

    Started FF with no plugins and he locked up tight when you try to import a json file has recently made my PC who died.
    Did the same thing with less desirable HTML bookmarks or import Chrome bookmarks.

    This behavior of shit years and followed me across 5 or 6 PC...

    In a similar thread a year or two there, after much back and forth, the user has finished by reports that finally restored Firefox bookmarks successfully and unlock after being greeted a long period of time to complete the operation.

    I don't know how long you let go but maybe give it 10 minutes and see if that helps? You can open the task manager of Windows 7 (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) in the processes tab, monitor that Firefox is active or dead.

  • Cannot import Windows Mail 6.0 files after reformatting the hard drive

    Desktop HP of my wife had to be reformatted.  It is under Vista Home Premium.  Email is vesion Windows Mail 6.0.  I exported all the personal files in Windows Mail she wanted, through the export feature.  They are stored on a DVD right now.  The problem is that once I have reformatted the hard disk to the original factory conditions, I can't import files or messages.  The import in the Wizzard options is for Windows Mail (with outlook and Express) 7.  When I choose 7 Mail I get the following error message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open.  If I navigate to the actual stored email files on the backup DVD I can open individual emails so that they were saved.  What can I do?

    It is a bit of extra work, but it will do the job.

    • Copy the files from the DVD to the desktop.
    • Open WinMail and create the folders that you need to match those on the desktop.
    • Open a folder on the desktop and you should see all of the messages as .eml files.
    • Select all, then right click on them. Drag the corresponding folder of WinMail and copy here.

    That worked? You can remove the files from office once facts.

    I have pictures in my folder of photos I want to make a DVD. Some images are video clips with a file extension. MOV.

    Thank you for posting.  You will need a 3rd party software program or conversion to convert .mov to another type of file that will be recognized by Movie maker.  There are a few conversion tools free availible.  You can use your favorite search engine to find some of them.

  • Cannot import mov files in AE.

    This problem appeared from time to time. It causes several things that I can't do in my After Effect, but I really have no idea how I can solve this problem.

    Problem 1: wait long to open the AE, it hangs on the core of media initialization and takes about 10-15 minutes to get through.

    Problem 2: impossible to import the mov files and if I import the mov to the AE project, this pop-up comes

    "After effects error: file 'file name.mov' cannot be imported - this 'MooV file is damaged or not supported". ".

    Problem 3: cannot display the model as mov. and just this pop up global warming

    "After Effects: one of the output modules could not be imported." It has been reset to use the default setting for the selected file format. »

    I read a few threads, and I knew this could cause communication blocked between AE and QT. But I check my QT, it's version 7.6.6 and I have installed firewall software, communication is therefore correct (I guess, since I can play normally mov file and not the home warm message that "QuickTime is not installed on this system...) »).

    Another thread said may because of the tripartite component in the QT library. This may seem reasonable, cause I install certain converters to convert before wmv and avi formats.

    Here are the components of the QT library:

    AviImporter.component

    Try to set your default player for QuickTime .mov files.  (Mine has been set to Windows Media Player)

    • Right-click on one of the mov files that you encounter a problem at the opening in AE.
    • Select 'Open with' and select 'choose program by default... "downstairs.
    • Select Quick Time. (Make sure the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked).

    Hello, guenoun.

    I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.

    The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

    If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/
