• 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...
  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.

• I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

  I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

  I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

  Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

  Help!

  No guarantee but something you could try...

  There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
  that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
  your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
  Mode for these)

  And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
  Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
  success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

  Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
  saved the source files to restore the path.

• Video capture with windows movie maker capture 16:9 dv camcorder.

  My Canon DV camcorder using Windows Video Capture video capture is not capture video in 16:9 format, 4:3 looks like. Why?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums!

  If I understand you correctly, you have a problem with the video capture from a camcorder DV Canon using windows movie maker. I understand it must be frustrating, but don't worry, we're here to help solve your problem and guide you in the right direction.

  The proportions of the original video on the videotape. Depending on your DV camera and the camera at the time settings wherever you saved the original video tape, your video can be recorded to an aspect ratio of 16:9 (wide screen) or 4:3 (standard). Choose a video format and a report l / h in video import, which is the same as the video recorded on tape.

• Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

  Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

  I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

  When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

  When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

  ==================================================
  Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

  You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
  I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

  What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

  They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
  Converter would be worth a try.

  You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

  There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
  Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
  but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
  perhaps never the problem.
