  Why do I get the error message "the file * *.wmv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer."

  Hello

  ·         What program did you use for recording to WMV file?

  ·         Are you having similar problem when you try to import the WMV file, which is not recorded by this program?

  Method 1:

  Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists this kind of file. You will not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is supplied with Windows. In this case, you can re - encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio.

  To download the Windows Media Encoder, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

• Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes

  So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?

  Hi eragon787976,

  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.

  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.

  Hi napoleonfoo,

  Did you follow the steps provided by John Inzer?

  To better understand the issue, we need the following information:

  (a) what is the exact error that you receive when you import video into windows movie maker?

  (b) what is the file format of the video you are trying to import?

  (c) means the video sharing with each drive that you use or simply with a particular player?

  To clarify, you try to install a program (or download the program)?  What program are you trying to install? You get a specific error message?

  See the link below for the file format supported.

  Import video, images and audio in Windows Movie Maker

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/import-video-files-pictures-and-audio-into-Windows-Movie-Maker

  You can search online for the codec or convert the file into a format that windows movie maker can understand.

  You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag

  Once installed...drag/drop your audio files on the Sothink
  icon to start the program. Then, in the encoding settings...
