  I tried to import my videos in Windows movie maker program and I still get the following error message.

  The file . MOV cannot be imported because the codec required 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.

  Can someone help me with what needs to happen.  I used the format .mov since 2008, now all of a sudden, I got the error above in bold.

  Signed. MOV needs HELP of AVI!

  ·          You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?

  ·          Do you have any third party media player and codec installed on your computer?

  Temporarily uninstall them if you have any third-party media player installed on your computer and check if you are able to import files video .mov in Windows Movie Maker.

  Secondly, if you have any third-party codec player installed temporarily uninstall them and check.

  To uninstall codec and third-party multimedia player, you can use the Windows Cleanup utility.

  Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from this link:

  Now, run the utility ("' start > all programs > Windows Installer Cleanup" "). In the list of programs displayed in the cleanup, select programs, and then click on remove. Quit out of cleaning.

• Importing large .wmv in Windows Movie Maker

  Hello

  It doesn't seem to be any major problem with the Windows Movie Maker program, because it is play other videos that I'm importing.  It can't import video that I converted from .mov to .wmv using Winff to 1 h.

  Last night he just repeated does not...  Today it says that it cannot import the video [.wmv].

  There is no problem with the .wmv because it plays fine in Windows Media Player.  There is no problem with the original video is.  I think the video is just too long or something.

  It's very frustrating... currently .avi conversion for the heck of it, hoping that it will be important that.

  Can anyone help with this?

• Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

  I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

  I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

  This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

  Thank you!

  NancyLouse,

  Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

  To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
  -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
  -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
  -Click on Folder Options, click view
  -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

  The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

  What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

  Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

  -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
  -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

  Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

  I hope this helps

• Error every time I try to add an MP3 song to Movie Maker, I bought from Amazon.

  I try to add a song to a movie maker slideshow.  Whenever I have add the song, the program crashes and says that I can't see a preview.  How can I add an MP3 song, I bought from Amazon.  I use Windows 7.  Thank you

  Hello emk12,

  1. This only happens with this particular song or songs on the Movie Maker?

  Copy-protected music cannot be added to a Movie Maker. The license that was purchased with the music doesn't allow for republication and therefore would not add you to the Movie Maker.

  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. :-/
