Download iTunes files in Windows Movie Maker on a downloaded CD?
Hey,.
I'm doing a movie in WMM, and I tried to go into iTunes and import the music on a CD that I had already imported into iTunes. He gave me something the codec is not installed.
For the record: I have already read the answer of Yes, and it does not help me because it was things I had not bought and downloaded from iTunes. These songs, I am trying to import came from a CD, I bought in a store and jumped in my computer. Any help? I'm relatively stupid when it comes to such things, so it would be easy, plain-English-non-tech-chamois terms useful.* *.
Thanks in advance! (:

Impossible to import PowerPoint file in Windows Movie Maker - codec error
I am tryping to import a PowerPoint file into Windows Movie Maker to burn it to a DVD, but I get a codec error
Cannot import the file C:\Users\Karen\Documents\2009 Fundraiser\Yellow Rose 2009.ppt MWP 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.
How can I find this codec and install it?
Blond highlights Hello,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum. Usually, when you try to play a video in Media Player if you do not have the right codec Media Player will automatically download and install the correct codec if it is available. Since this is a Power Point presentation has video embedded in it? If so, try to play the video file outside the Power Point presentation and Media Player will go out and get the correct codec if you are connected to the internet. Here is an article from the Microsoft Knowledge base that explains Media player codecs and configuration to automatically download:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/926373
I hope this information is useful.
Thank you

Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.
Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:
Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.
In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Hello, guenoun.
I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.
The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.
If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

I can't publish a file using Windows Movie Maker despite after every single step and instruction
I use Windows Movie Maker c. 5.1. (Build 2600) on a computer running Windows XP Professional 2002, SP 3. I try to publish a movie file which is a revised version of a WMV file. In other words, the original file is a file WMV is 534 MB. I am editing the film by dividing and by deleting scenes, adding transitions and titles. I am able to save the file (for a WMM file) but impossible to publish the movie. I checked that (i) the files are in the correct location, (ii) the file does not exceed the limit of 4 GB, (iii) the destination does not exist (I tried everything from my desktop to video files). I tried every possible resolution and the file type.
I would change the software of movie at this point if I had not invested so much energy and time behind this project. Help, please!
Hello not happy with WMM,
You get an error message when you try to publish? If so, what is it?
One thing you might try is breaking your video into 3 or 4 smaller sections and see if they work / will be published separately.
