• Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.

  Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.  He plays in Windows Live Movie Maker and plays on my computer.  Cannot find the codec. Tried the solution to this same question and in help.

  Hello
   
  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• What happens to my codec on Windows Movie Maker?

  Could not import the file F:\Documents and Settings\Ron Haley\My Documents\My Videos\2011-04-03\Title 1. mpg 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.

  This is the message I get when I try to open my Windows Movie Maker project. That is what it is? Please, I beg you!

  Movie Maker has problems of compatibility with MPG files.
  Even if you managed to import and edit the file... it
  could be problems when you attempt to make the final
  project in a movie file.

  Best bet would be to convert the MPG for the WMV file
  format before inmporting in Movie Maker.

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

• AVI codecs in Windows Movie Maker version 6.0 (Build 6000)

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  I have worked on videos of music in WMM6.0 for a while now.  When I started a year ago, I could import the AVI formats without problem whatsoever.  Then one day, without any changes to the program or the video itself, my imported videos filmed vignettes in "AVI" boxes and were deleted from my calendar.  I tried to play on their return, but all that worked was the audio.  The video had been cleared.  They had worked before if.
  Now, when I try to open the AVI I no longer get the dreaded audio box "AVI" or an error message saying that I should download the appropriate codec.  I scoured the internet looking for the codec I need, but nothing is.  On many sites, I have been told that the box "Download codecs automatically" in the tools of--> Options--> Legeneralonglet verified.  But I don't even have a checkbox with this title in ONE of the tabs Options.
  I tried to download the latest version of WMM, as was suggested to me, but instead of download the AVI, he found himself by removing the other clips (.wmv) who had managed to survive the other version, by saying that they were not compatible either.
  I removed this version of WMM and returned to WMM6.0 and downloaded the Windows Media Encoder (which was meant to convert AVI to WMV, which works on this version), but apparently to convert a file need you the codec for AVI.  I even tried to import the AVI file, and then place it in the timeline and try to save it as a .wmv, because a friend with the same problem said it had worked.  But, as I said, when these clips have been placed in the timeline, in the register only under the "audio" plus name.  The video is not the same.
  Oh and I also tried to download a pack of codecs of microsoft.com, but they had them only for Windows XP and Windows 2003, and they would not move on Windows Vista.
  I'm desperate here!  I fought with it for almost a year, and I really can't work properly at work or school without being able to use my WMM correctly.  Help, please!

  Bttrflymagic,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

  I'm sorry to hear that you have so much trouble with the realization of your movies.  It really looks like that you must download and install a codec pack for the types of files you are using.  There are a lot of third party sites out there that offer, some are free, and some are buying.  The best place to find this information is usually the forums frequented by others who are really into film making.  They can tell you the best sites for the best codecs and codecs for.  This being said, here are a few sites that I have heard are safe and offer a wide variety of codecs, but also a forum which has some very knowledgeable film gurus.

• Unable to import video clips format .mts for Windows Movie Maker

  Importing files Movie Maker

  I downloaded some video footage to my office at the top of a camera. I tried to import it into Movie Maker off the file to my desktop but without success. The files are of MTS

  I downloaded some video footage to my office at the top of a camera. I tried to import it into Movie Maker off the file to my desktop but without success. The files are of MTS

  Movie Maker doesn't support mts, which is a form of HD video file. How to properly edit these files without loss of resolution is to use a burner to Editor/Blu-ray HD such as Sony Vegas Pro 9, which is very expensive and complicated. There are programs to convert mts and other HD of old formats files, but they usually cause loss of resolution. There are a few players, such as some versions deluxe Cyberlink PowerDVD which will play Blu - ray discs and isolated from the HD files, but you need a fairly fast computer with plenty of memory to play well on high-resolution Blu - ray.
