• Problems with Windows Movie Maker 2.6

  I can make a video, no problem, but whenever I try to save on computer, it says: Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used are always available, the loction savings is always available, and that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.

  Why does this happen? I have tons of space. I've checked everything... Help, please!

  ~ katie ~.

  What place you are trying to record the movie for?  Help if you do a right click on the shortcut to the Movie Maker program, or the .exe, and then select the option "Run As Administrator"?  Perform, even if your user name is an administrator.

  See if some of your other running software interferes with the process.

• Problem with Windows Movie Maker Project

  A project in Windows Movie Maker won't let me not longer make changes or even to get a glimpse on the preview screen. It is long, with various video and audio in 8 minutes and 17 seconds. What can I do to fix this?

  A project in Windows Movie Maker won't let me not longer make changes or even to get a glimpse on the preview screen. It is long, with various video and audio in 8 minutes and 17 seconds. What can I do to fix this?

  ===================================
  The project may be too complex and there may be
  incompatible source files.

  If you can open the project and see the source files on
  the timeline... it can be interesting to try to remove a part of
  files and or transitions of the project.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Music - wma, wav, wmv John Inzer - MS - MVP - Digital Media Experience - Notice_This is not tech support_I'm volunteer - Solutions that work for me may not work for you - * proceed at your own risk *.

• Problem with Windows Movie Maker 2.6 Re: Save movie file

  I get the classic "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, the location of the backup is still available... "Message ETC, but I have a few additional details that I hope will help someone diagnose what might be wrong:

  * In fact, when I import video files (imports are in WMV format - I have converted to WMV using iOrgSoft Video Converter), he split the file into several clips of different lengths to seemingly without rhyme or reason (done on my old computer with a different version of WMM too).

  Going to the statements in the following format:

  FileName_001 FileName_002 FileName_003 FileName_004... etc.

  Then, I divided the clips if necessary to isolate the parts I want to drag them to the timeline.

  Anyway, through experimentation I found that for each file, I can use all the clips, it was automatically divided in to the last, where I can only use a certain small part of it (the last of them is usually the largest by far) and have it save in a movie file.

  So FileName_001, FileName_002, and FileName_003 will all work and save to a movie file in their entirety, and I can use a smaller portion of the FileName_004 and have it record as well. But if I spent a certain point in this last clip (FileName_004), it will not save.

  So let's just say that the 8 seconds of FileName_004 can be saved in a movie file. If I try just to save 2 seconds of a value of the element after only the second 8 FileName_004 brand, it will trigger the "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Message to verify that the original source of the files... ».

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I too Movie Maker 2.6 running in Windows 7 (64-bit), and sometimes she would not publish the movie. So today after reading things here, I did some research and found this page:

  http://movies.blainesville.com/2010/05/installing-Windows-Movie-Maker-60-on.html
  I removed the Movie Maker 2.6 from my PC and then downloaded and installed Movie Maker 6.0. I opened the last project of 2.6 MM that would not publish the movie in my new 6.0 and clicked on _Publish to this computer_. And it worked. So I tried a larger project which had also failed to publish the movie and it worked again, producing a 40 MB .wmv file.
  So it seems under MovIe Maker 6.0, designed for Vista, works fine under Windows 7, at least if you download the file shown to Movie Maker Blog of Blaine (Blaine Hat!).
  BTW, .wmv files, I brought in Movie Maker have been converted to .flv files using a free Quick Media Converter HD download, that I found at cnet.com. I highly recommend it (and its creator, I sent money PayPal).

• Problems with Windows Movie Maker: video/Audio, cut and cutting

  I recently did some videos, but there was this thing really annoying happening in the middle of the video. Okay, let's say I put together all the clips in Windows Movie Maker for my taste, and it's how I wanted it to be. I saw it and then suddenly in the middle of the video the sound shuts down or freezes the clip or it will just empty. I have not been able to solve and so I can't do more videos without him just hide or cut.

  Please help, I need to make a video for a deadline but nothing I try suddenly freezes or cuts in a specific clip. How is what is happening and what can I do to stop it. I've accidentally done something or it just freezes.

  Thanks, I need all the help I can get!

  I use Windows Vista. And this has only been produced recently, that my previous videos have been very well.

  Well well... once again, without success. The same thing happens, it freezes in the middle of the clip. I get the FLV file by orbit actually, but I don't know who is a hoarder of corrupted file. What should I do?

  ==============================================
  Don't know what to tell you... apparently the original .flv video clip is damaged.

  The following free download includes a utility to convert .flv, but to this
  point that I am not convinced that you will have success.

• Problem with Windows Movie Maker.

  Hello. Yesterday, I tried to import audio files in Windows Movie Maker. The file is in mp3 format. An error comes up saying that WMM does not support the file type. I thought it was strange because a few months I was able to import a mp3 file in WMM. in any case I tried to convert the file in wav format, and he always says the same thing. I also noticed that in the House program tab my add music option is grayed out, as I can't select it. Someone help me please.

• Problems with Windows Movie Maker

  I'm not new to movie maker, but it's my first time met this problem and I don't know how to fix it. I downloaded youtube videos (which were .flv format) convert it to .wmv format and put them in movie maker. I did my video and published it. However, whenever I try to play, it shows about one-third of the video and audio and video both deleted, even though she said her cheek again. He did this in filmmaker, VLC media player and Windows media player. Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance,

• Problem with Windows Movie Maker - Audio is messed up

  OK, so I'm doing a film, with the lyrics of a song. I put pictures of her and paired words. It worked fine for a few songs. Then when I went to make another, I imported the song, but the time of audio changes. I mean, it's that I can't say... 0:20 seconds in the song and it should play the same part of the song, whenever I go to 0:20 seconds. On mine, it keeps switching autour. I'll go to 0:20 seconds and it will play what he normally plays at say 0:15 seconds. Or I'll set it to 0:40 seconds and he will play the music to 0:20 seconds. That's when I jump to that point in the song. If I start from the beginning and let him play through, then he plays at the normal time to 0:20 or 0:40 seconds. But he messes up and plays the wrong thing when I skip some time that is not at the beginning. Does anyone else have this problem? How should I do? Should I uninstall WMM and redownload it? Or is it a thing of setting? Help, please! Thank you!

  I had this same problem. Assuming that the music is your use of WMM in iTunes, follow this:

  1. open iTunes

  2. click on Edit--> preferences

  3. click on import settings

  4. in the drop-down arrow next to the import to help:, select WAV encoder

  5. press the OK button

  6. now click on the songs you want to use in WMM

  7. click on advanced and click on create the WAV Version.

  8. now, when you return to WMM, click on import Audio or music and go to your iTunes folder. Versions WAV songs you create must be there and when you import, you should have no trouble in :D

• Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?

  I'm in a bit of a dead end.  I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.

  In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images.  My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.

  Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker?  My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.

  I'm ready to buy a new camera.  I just need something compatible.  Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.

  Can anyone help?

  If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it

  Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p

  The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.

  But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)

  You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

• How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

  I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

  =======================================
  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
  be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
  DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
  a VOB extension.

  Also... the info is maybe worth a visit:

  DVD Movie Maker 6... in Vista Home Basic
  http://www.Papajohn.org/newsletters/185-DVDtoMM6inVistaHomeBasic.html

  When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is in, and then select Explorer.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
