  • Windows Live Movie Maker needs to close unexpectedly. error: 0xC9460025

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Sorry, Windows Live Movie Maker needs to close unexpectedly. Please restart Windows Live Movie Maker, and then try again (error: 0xC9460025).

    I get this when I open my saved file, I am changing. It allows to work properly since I installed Windows Live (about 2 months ago). 2 months ago, I bought my laptop. given that Win7 is not a Director as I have on my xp & vista I download this. Gee, this is a version darn downgrade. I've thought since win7 is new version I get a better version of WMM. But no! I'm used to movie maker xp and vista, light and easy to use, but are looking for more that's why I bought win7. Very disappointing! In any case I have not started to use itso until now no problems with my previous published videos. So today, I am in my final cut when WLMM stop working. It crashes and do not continue reading of the saved file. I tried to uninstall the windows live, but it will not be a badge. Cannot be deleted. I tried to fix it by reinstalling hoping it will work but still the same. I also tried to do system restore where I think it works well, but still does not work properly. A suggestion or a solution to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Please reply as soon as POSSIBLE. I would like to know how to solve this problem or at least how to get rid of windows live. I'll just use another video montage.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    The material should not be a problem, I usually run Movie Maker on my desk with similar specifications, but I also run it on a laptop of much lower quality. When Movie Maker freezes, just after the opening, after having tried to add a video file, after a specific action?

    If it crashes right after the opening, then it is possible that it is corrupt. You can uninstall, reboot, download a new copy and reinstall, which could take care of this.

    If it freezes after trying to add a video file so the video codecs might be damaged or missing. You can try to install a new audio/video codecs for any type of file you are working with. I heard good things about pack k - lite codec:

    http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

    You can also try watching the video filters activated in Movie Maker. Go to tools-> options-> tab compatibility. Then try checking and unchecking each filter, I had a problem with them at some point, but I don't remember which.

  • 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:

    None

    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:

  • Is it possible that Windows Live Movie Maker can be used by the XP users?

    I just pulled a cruise (Holland America) which offers courses of LARGE digital workshop. I've learned about Windows Live and RL photo gallery - what is optimal. But - MOST important - I've learned about Live Movie Maker - an improvement on the old version of WMM. WMM is not .mov files that produce new cameras. Only the .avi. I went to download the pgm MM Live and he says that Win 7 is required! There are some XPs MILLION out there and it is a pgm this cool. Any possibility there's far more that if I can use the .mov files without having to convert all of them to .avi. Or is it possible that Microsoft will be kind to us and give us live MM under Windows Essentials for XP?

    Windows Live Essentials for XP contains no Windows Live Movie Maker, as you know. We are not aware of what the developers have in mind. However, because Windows XP is a ten year old operating system, I doubt there is much chance it will be retro-compatible with Windows XP.

    There is a good reason to upgrade to Windows 7 to take advantage of all the new and improved and product changes.

    Sincerely,
