Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

Thank you!

NancyLouse,

Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
-Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
-In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
-Click on Folder Options, click view
-Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

-Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
-Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

I hope this helps

  • When the copy of my symbols between projects lose their source file after the backup

    Hey,.

    This is my first post here, but I have been struggling with this for a while and have not been able to find a similar position again. So I use Windows 7 and Flash CS 5.5.
    I'm animated short episodes of an animated mini series, with several characters. Our character symbols or organized in folders and then these files are copied to the front she draws from the previous episode at the library of the next episode.

    However, as soon as I save the file all the symbols will empty. Under the symbol properties, they have no source file. The source file disappears. I can re-link but these symbol libraries have more than 100 symbols.

    This only happens to the symbols, I have not placed on the time line yet, but it becomes tedious to hunt endlessly through old projects of re - link or copy symbols that have disappeared.

    My question is why what is happening, and how to avoid it?

    Yes, I think it's a path problem.

    Because you can't have two files with exactly the same name, do a copy/paste changes this way. OK... then how can we cheat/fool Flash using the same path (sort of) for two different folders?

    Thinking about support: you can do tests on a small scale... not the whole project?

    Can you CUT and paste and the destination folder works?

    Use the same folder for both libraries? and the path of the folder root... kinda like an address absolute, but relative to root? This must be done when you make all of the symbols of origin.

    Change the location of each folder in library of sections so that they are not in the same main folder so that you can use the same name of subfolder in the folder of each section? For example:

    section1_library/symbols

    section2_library/symbols

    allows you to use the same folder name exact for the two symbols of the section file. For example, if the path to the symbols in the '1' section is just /symbols, copy/paste in the folder "section 2" gives exactly the same way. Now to really make this work, you will need to introduce as many levels of folders under upward according to the need of separate sections. Therefore to examine the properties of the symbol and determine to what extent raise lever folder, you need to go.

    Or there may be a simple way in Flash to define root relative paths so that the copy/paste works... but I don't quite know.

    I can't open videos or change with Movie Maker.

    Is it because I have a Sony Handycam?

    He said that there is a lack of "codec". Where can I install the missing codec from?

    Very frustrating because I've used it before - maybe because I have SP3? But I don't want to uninstall SP3... :-(

    Help, please!

    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the info.

    MPEG files are problematic in all versions of Movie Maker.
    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

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

    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup280.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format

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

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    That should do it...

  • Cannot open a new browser window

    I have a few users who have problems connecting to Discoverer on new PCs. They use the Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login, but when screen connect achieving (or go) they get an error: "cannot open a new browser window. Make sure that you don't have a pop - up disabled for this site".

    Of course the first thing I had to do was disable popups blocker all together. But they still have the error (even when they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something that I miss in how they must configure IE8? I'm personally used to use IE6 at work and do not know much about the setting of configuration for IE8.


    Thank you!

    Check if you have a toolbar (like Yahoo, Google toolbar)
    These toolbars have their own Blocker for pop-up windows.
    You must disable the pop-up blocker also with the blocker IE.

    I just need to click on "object > insert html ' muse and paste the code there?

    My video ID is video_background which is defined by the widget by default, I should change the code below:

    The site I posted has no video in there and I don't have the widget that Peter sugested however, you can replace the startup code Nacy O made (the black with bit blob going around it) and it should work... understand that a ve\ideo will have to be downloaded by your browser clients before they can see it, so it's another delay for them.

    The code you posted is the code of downtime and that seeks a DIV not called "intro" so no do not change his name...

    A mandatory opening text

    After 5 seconds, this block will disappear.

    Everything between the two div tags is startup code and replace you it with you video and then use the muse "object > insert html" tool to place on your page.

    The demo includes three bits;

    • the body or the div tag is the code shown above and goes into the tool "insert html".
    • a header code that defines styles i.e. the yellow background and text... cela goes in your location of metadata page

    • The final code is the timeout in jQuery you had but do not change the name to the background image unless you also change the name of your div to match... Nacy O put it in its footer code that is correct for DW, but Muse has no footer as such area so I used a master metadata slot to the same effect. The important point is that it descends UNDERNEATH other codes.

    Have a play with it and see how you go...
