• What are the most likely causes of accidents during the launch of Windows Movie Maker for execution of Windows XP?

  I've used Windows Movie Maker with success, but I have probably at least a year ago or more. I recently attempted to run and each attempt, all I am able to do is the following message:

  Windows Movie Maker has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

  If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.

  Please tell this problem to Microsoft.

  We have created an error report that you can send to help us improve Windows Movie Maker. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.

  It is likely that the version of Windows Movie Maker that I have is corrupt and I just need to download the current version or updates? If yes where can I find an update online for the next version? :

• Convert vob to wmv to edit in Windows Movie Maker

  I am trying to edit a dvd. I know that I have to convert the vob to a wmv file but it keeps shortening the length of the video. I downloaded at least 6 converter programs and none doesn't seem to help. I would like to edit this video in Windows Movie Maker. Help, please!

  It may be interesting to try to rename the. VOB file to
  . MPG or. AVI. If it is important without convert you
  could drag the timeline and immediately
  Publish it... It would create one. WMV file. Then

• Windows Movie Maker project disappeared, need help!

  I was recently working on the 3rd video of the year for my daughter using Windows Movie Maker. I worked on it for a few months now. I save every 10 minutes or more. I was almost finished and clicked on save, and I got a popup that I was 'Out of Memory' that happens from time to time. Then I tried to save it under a different name, and then I got a new popup that says "unknown error." I decided to close Windows Movie Maker, and then restart the computer. I then noticed that the icon/file for my project was no longer visible. I checked the trash and he wasn't there. I did many searches for it on my computer with the file name and the file extension, nothing and also restored my computer to a few days earlier and the project file does not re - appeared. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you...

  Sorry... I was afraid that you might say. If the file has been

  Just some thoughts...

  This happens usually when the source files are
  not totally compatible and also may be linked
  transitions.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all
  the filters.

  Also you can try to convert your source files
  to different formats.

  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

  And you can try to remove the transitions.

• Windows Movie Maker cut the end of the clips. Help! Why is this happening?

  I don't understand why this is happening.  I used Windows Movie Maker with VISTA Home Premium often enough.  The images come from the camera I've always used.

  I have a 64-bit computer, where this is relevant.

  I'm working on a new project and twice now, Windows Movie Maker doesn't cut the end of a clip.  I don't get any notification that something is wrong.  It will not just clip the end.

  Why is the happening?  What should I do?

  Thank you.

• Windows Movie Maker allows you to shoot me in the clips with the sound for my movie, but when I burn the__DVD, there is no sound? Help

  Ideas:

  • wPrograms you have any problems with
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  When you were importing files into Windows Movie Maker (WMM)...

  1 have you seen to ensure it worked properly?

  2. don't you import music files separately from the photos and video files?

  The point being: there are only a few audio formats that are supported by Windows Movie Maker.
  Supported by WMM audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

  File format is represented by the letters lsat 3 of the audio file.
  
  If your audio file format is not on the list above, you need to google for a FREE audio converter and change your audio file.
  The recommended formats, you must use are: mp3, wma and wav... in that order.

  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...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
  file to edit)

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.
