How to change a Movie Maker file name extension

I am trying to load a video You Tube and Facebook of Movie Maker on Vista, yet both programs say that they do not support the MSWMM file name extension. How can I change the extension wmv or something supported by these programs without destroying the file?
I already changed the position of file name by renaming the file, but it destroyed and I was not even able to see.

Hi Linsala,

Try highlighting your video on the collection list and then clicking Save film on top of the toolbar. Go through the steps and it should save it as a wmv.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. We can't wait to hear back from you with your results. Brian

    I'm guessing that you saved the. MSWMM Movie Maker project files?

    The problem is that the. MSWMM project file does not include your
    source files... (Photos, video clips, Audio clips)... and without the
    the original source files you have nothing to work with.

    To start a new project... try to go on... File / import into collections... and
    Navigate to the files you want to import.

  • How to change Windows Movie Maker photo duration

    I have all of my uploaded photos, music is ready, transitions are on, but now that I play the photos are too quick and you barely have time to see what they are, how do I change the duration of the picure (how long they show) to each of them at the same time?

    At the top of the timeline, there is (-) and (+) synbols, click the plus sign (+) symbol and you can each time frame is more tender. You need still longer, until it agin clicks. It shows in the timeline panel.
    You can also do adjusment to each individual slide, that is, you can create a slide run longer than the others.
    To do this, you must do it manually...
    Place your cursor on the right of the slide edge > the cursor is transformed into a pointer 2 > left click and hold > drag the cursor where you want to. The "sovereign" in the upper part is the guide.
    This manual adjusment will give you more specific term changes, while the sign (+) and (-) options are not.

    How to convert a QuickTime video to a usable in Windows Movie Maker file

    Hello

    1. What operating system is installed on the computer?

    You will need to use a third-party converter to convert files into a format recognized by Windows Movie Maker. You can use your favorite search engine to find a software that will help you convert the files.

    WARNING:
    Using 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.

    I can't open videos or change with Movie Maker.

    Is it because I have a Sony Handycam?

    He said that there is a lack of "codec". Where can I install the missing codec from?

    Very frustrating because I've used it before - maybe because I have SP3? But I don't want to uninstall SP3... :-(

    Thanks for the info.

    MPEG files are problematic in all versions of Movie Maker.
    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck

    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the

    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format

    That should do it...

  • How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?

    How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?

    I found the info in this post...

    Here, a link takes me to an article at this link...
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321379

    This article explains then that I need to download and run blindly 'Fix - It' application to obtain the simple ability to print a directory window... but it does not say what I'd do once downloaded the general application of "Fix - It" to get this option which should be part of the Windows 7 basic features first.

    Or, the article told me that I can "modify the registry" (?) in order to get the print option window... but I know that by having a character moved when editing the registry, it can bring down the entire computer and make it completely unusable.

    Those are really the only options to print all simply a window?... in addition to several screenshots and melted together in Photoshop and then print this image?

    Why not just give Windows 7 a 'PRINT' button under 'FILE' as other operating systems have always done... has always done Windows default this feature?

    This seems just crazy... This misunderstanding?

    Thank you

    NuMetro

    I tried to copy and paste the name of the window... This time I tried while holding down the SHIFT key and it sticks anything in Notepad.

    This is not what I've proposed.

    • Select the files whose names you want to print. CTRL + A selects all.
    • Hold the SHIFT key, then right click on a file and select copy in the path from the context menu. This will put a list of filenames (path) to the Windows Clipboard.
    • Click inside a document, and the stick.

    Have another go.

  • Windows Movie Maker - file invalid / not found

    I made a movie a few weeks previously registered, get in there a few days later and made more copies. Today, I tried again and I keep getting a message that the file is not valid. I tried opening upward in the creation of DVD and it keeps saying that it has failed. I tried the suggestion of unlicking the box under the sign that says (hide extensions of known file types) - which didn't work. I tried opening the film again and all my imported data is there... just not the movie itself...

    Help, please!

    Yes, it's the same information I read in other forums. I closed the movie maker and tried to reopen the case. I always get an error message that is not valid. I can't find any other file that does not end in MSWMM. After that I closed the error message. All data are available in the media imported section, but the Council of the timeline or history is completely empty / blank - but I know that he was saved several times...

    If the film itself has disappeared... is there a way I can get it back?

    ===========================================
    If you cannot open the MSWMM file in Movie Maker file must
    be damaged. Best bet would be to recreate the project.

    As for the movie... unless you have published (saved) project in the
    Film WMV or AVI format... it was never a real movie file.
    (this would be a clip that would play in Windows Media Player
    and could be shared with others)

  • Anyone know how to change a thumbnail of files (file not folder) and then put my own miniature captured (what I do) instead?

    Hiya everone, does anyone know how to change a thumbnail of files (no), then put me captured own thumbnail (which I do) instead? Paul

    Original title: thumbnails

    Hi Paul,.

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems you want to use the thumbnail image customized for other files.

    You can customize folder icon. But, you cannot customize file icon because if she changes a file's default settings, the file do not work.

  • Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension.

    Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.

    Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.

    If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  • Cannot unselect the file name extensions and hidden items

    Nice day

    I use Windows 8 Pro. I noticed that all my files file name extensions
    are visible, so I went in to my folder and under show/hide display board, I saw that "File name Extensions" are checked
    and "Hidden Items" unchecked.
    I then tried to uncheck "File name Extensions", but nothing happens. The checkbox just reappears and I can't delete
    the name of the file extensions, so to speak. Also I cannot view my hidden object because when I check this box it displays a check mark
    for a split second and then it is still a time unchecked.
    I also went in Folder Options in Control Panel, click on "View files, folders and drives" and I checked
    him "Hide extensions of known file types" applied, but nothing happens. When I reopen it the Folder Options both of them
    Yet once are unchecked.
    If anyone can help me in this matter, it will be appreciated gratefully.
    Concerning
    Rohan

    Hi Rohan,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    I see from the description of the problem, you can't hide from the files extensions and show hidden files in a folder.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

    The problem is specific to a particular file?

    This problem can occur because permissions, corrupt user accounts or even damaged files issues.

    We will first of all, try the procedure described in the article and check if that helps.
