Could not import the digital camcorder, Kodak Zi8 videos to Windows Movie Maker

KODAK IMPORT PROBLEMS. VIDEO TO WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER MOV CLIPS

We took lots of video clips with our digital video camera Kodak Zi8, bought about a year ago.  Can I transfer on our computer & Watch clips from movies--the picture & sound is great.  But when I try to import into Movie Maker - so I can learn how to make movies, it won't import them.  I understand that Kodak clips are .mov & I read that Windows does not recognize the .mov - so what do we now?  I understand, there are a few 'conversion' online programs, but don't know what to use or which will solve this terrible problem.  We want to be able to enjoy our videos... Please help...

Fix... QuickTime .mov files are not compatible
with Movie Maker. Conversion to. WMV would be
the best bet...

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.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)

First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

Next, 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...

Good luck...

  • 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.

  • Could not import the Wildcard on SAA certificate

    Hi all

    I'm trying to implement a GoDaddy Wildcard (*. mydomain.mytld) cert for a number of clubs, among which there is our ASA. I put away the old certs and did some housekeeping on their trustpoints, etc., with the result pretty much own config. (I'm on 8.3).

    I needed to register for the cert in a different area (Exchange 2010) and I exported the cert in cisco-pasteable format REB to make it ready for deployment ahead on the ASA. Here's what I've done (with cry ca debugging on), causing a failure to import the wildcard certificate. Can anyone shed light on what I'm doing wrong? What I was doing was essentially installation TP for root and intermediate and then import the actual device cert.

    The installation program two trustpoints for RootCA and intermediate TP:

    gate0 (config) # crypto ca trustpoint gdroot

    You can see a problem due to not have generated the CSR on the SAA (with ASA's private key) because you use a character generic cert.

  • Could not import the RAW with LR4

    I have done the trial LR4... before LR3 and 1.  Could not import raw with 4 files.  MSG comes up saying, "After files were imported not because they cannot be read."  The reason I try it is because Canon 5 d Mk III and I was told HAD to get it for the treatment of the raw with this device.  Fine imports by iphoto.  I must admit, though, as a dunce, this morning, I put in a new CF card and forgot to format... but I don't think it's because I tried a few weeks previously and had same problem with a card which has BEEN formatted.  I had with iphoto, but they import them in a file on my desktop and then import from the desktop.  Tried this time, but the import column does not appear same office option.  And when I try the end of iphoto, and it arrives at its destination, I'm going under applications, and Adobe photoshop LR 4 is grey so I can't click on it to send pictures... Help!  (PLEEEZZZ!)  Thank you!

    Oh, BTW, I downloaded DNG Converter, but have no idea how it works, don't see a help file with it, and Yes, the version of LR 4 I'm trying is 4.3.

    Quote 'Suite of files were not imported because they cannot be read.

    Make sure you have all the permissions read and write for all locations that you are trying to import the files. (for example if you try to import/copy files to a drive/folder where you have only read access, you will get this message) I think you see this message it is because before LR can read files is they must first be written/copied to the destination.

    Make sure you have full read/write access to all drives/folders, you work with.

  • The system could not find the environment that has been entered - option Windows 7

    I don't know what I was doing at the computer before this problem started. However, I first noticed that something was wrong when I tried to open the photo viewer and was faced with the problem of the impossibility to find the module specified for this program. In an attempt to solve this problem, I tried to download and install the Photo Gallery in Windows Live and this is when I first discovered that my system has this problem.

    Thank you very much.

    Nicholas C

    You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Enter the administrator password when you are prompted. It is often empty.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.

  • Make another copy of the DVD from a DVD created from Windows Movie Maker

    My laptop was stolen recently and, with it, a slideshow (with audio) I had created on Windows Movie maker.  I have a disc I created after the completion of the project.  He plays very well on an external DVD drive.  However, when I download it on my new laptop or try to copy it to another disk, it does not copy as a movie.  It seems that it changes the formats and any copy I made will not play on an external DVD drive.  Is there a copyright protection or something embedded on discs created from Movie maker.  Any advice on how to make a playable copy would be appreciated.

    No copy protection is used.

    How are you trying to copy it?

    You will need something like roxio or nero and their software disc in copy, or import the movie in movie maker and then recreate the dvd disc again from scratch in your creation to dvd.
