Cannot import Windows Movie Maker Audio

I do a film for my parents ' anniversary and downloaded a song from Amazon.com to use with it. I hear the song on my pc, but I get a message "unidentified error" when I try to import it. The song itself is already in mp3 format, but when I called Amazon support they said I probably need to "encode" it and suggest that I have download an encoder. Don't know exactly how or where to find it. Suggestions as to how I can get the song on the film WMM? Thank you.

=============================
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...

Left, click Convert.

    Hello

    If other songs work fine, then it is this individual song.

    If you try to bring in other new songs, you experience the same behavior? If this isn't the case, then it's certainly the individual one song and it will need to be redone.

  • Windows Movie Maker - Audio only, which plays in the exported project

    Hello.

    I did a project in windows movie maker with video and audio files. Project perfect cheek (the two audio/video playback) in windows movie maker when I am in the phase "creation/editing. When I export it and save the project as a. MP4 or. WMV file and try to play in Windows Media Player, Quicktime or VLC, as the audio of my theatre project. There is no video. However, when I play the other. MP4 files or. WMV files via these media players, they play very well. So I think that the problem is with the export of the Movie Maker project. Also, thinking that I have perhaps incompatible video files to Windows Movie Maker, I tried just using Jpeg files with audio to create a slide show, thinking that it would work with standard Habitat. Yet once, however, that the audio is played with a project containing pictures (no video). Any ideas?

    Audio was working fine, just no photos or video showing once the project has been saved as a movie. So, I tried your solution of creating a short slide show with photos only and no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker and still no luck. Downloaded the pack codek for windows 7 and still no luck.

    So, I decided to download the Vista windows movie maker for my OS to windows 7 and everything works like a charm. Don't know how or why, but the version of Vista is flawless on my windows 7.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate the help.

  • Problem with Windows Movie Maker - Audio is messed up

    OK, so I'm doing a film, with the lyrics of a song. I put pictures of her and paired words. It worked fine for a few songs. Then when I went to make another, I imported the song, but the time of audio changes. I mean, it's that I can't say... 0:20 seconds in the song and it should play the same part of the song, whenever I go to 0:20 seconds. On mine, it keeps switching autour. I'll go to 0:20 seconds and it will play what he normally plays at say 0:15 seconds. Or I'll set it to 0:40 seconds and he will play the music to 0:20 seconds. That's when I jump to that point in the song. If I start from the beginning and let him play through, then he plays at the normal time to 0:20 or 0:40 seconds. But he messes up and plays the wrong thing when I skip some time that is not at the beginning. Does anyone else have this problem? How should I do? Should I uninstall WMM and redownload it? Or is it a thing of setting? Help, please! Thank you!

    I had this same problem. Assuming that the music is your use of WMM in iTunes, follow this:

    1. open iTunes

    2. click on Edit--> preferences

    3. click on import settings

    4. in the drop-down arrow next to the import to help:, select WAV encoder

    5. press the OK button

    6. now click on the songs you want to use in WMM

    7. click on advanced and click on create the WAV Version.

    8. now, when you return to WMM, click on import Audio or music and go to your iTunes folder. Versions WAV songs you create must be there and when you import, you should have no trouble in :D

  • Windows Movie Maker audio and video is jerky.

    IHAVE been doing a video with sound and because some of the clips are short, but equal in the time, when I play it back or try to save it... where the shorts are the audio part of the video is choppy. I wonder if there is a way to put something to get smoother?

    I used photographs, in which I edit in photoshop and add text that is to edit each image, which seems to affect playback and recording. I'm doing a subliminal video with a soundtrack.

  • Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

    When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

    Audio--> OK
    Video--> NO

    Windows Media Player--> video + audio
    Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

    Hi tom,

    Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

    Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

    In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

    I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

    If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

    I think that will do, let us know whether.
