I can not import saved video clips in Windows Movie Maker

I get an Error Message When I try to import video clips saved on my computer from my digital camcorder, in Windows Movie Maker? The message says: an interface has many methods to fire events from? Photos taken with the same camera still work very well.

Looks like you have not the right codec installed to play these files, or they are a WMM is not supported type.
Convert videos to WMV using something like super - free and very good - http://www.myvideoproblems.com/WebPages/UsefulProgrammes.htm and use them.

    Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.

    Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:

    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.

    In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

    HighMAT is obsolete now and there is very little
    DVD players that recognize the format.

    If you want to create a video CD (VCD) or a video
    DVD... you will need DVD Authoring software.

    First step would be to save the Movie Maker project
    in the. Format WMV movie to a folder on your hard drive.
    Then you could play it in Windows Media Player and
    Share it with others.

    XP Windows Movie Maker 2.1...

  • Sometimes the clips in Windows Movie Maker will not play during preview and not at all after publication...

    Hello!  I just create a movie using Windows Movie Maker (HP Pavilion dv6000/Windows Vista Home Premium).  During the PREVIEW, the first part of the video of my film sometimes will not play (view) while the audio continues. Sometimes he will play (view).  All clips are saved in the right place, the file formats are correct, and everything else that I think is done correctly.  In addition, after the publication of the video, he did the same thing; some parts of the beginning is not playing (see) only the audio.  I believe that this can have started happening after a few times when an error message pops up saying something like "Video player has stopped responding, but has revived with success...» "or something like that.

    Now, I tried a few things to try to fix the problem.  I noticed that if I take the transitions and effects on the clips then they play but every time. I don't know why this happens only at the beginning of the movie and not all of the film since I also have clips with transitions and effects in the end.  Help!  This is my first time using this program/do a movie (and it's really good if I must say for me... he can win an Oscar! * smile *), but I wonder if I did something by mistake at the origin of this problem...

    KW03, I wish allows you to check if the same thing happens with the Movie Maker live, and this will give us an idea of the question of whether it is related to the effects of media player or your codecs.

    This happens when the former projects include transitions and effects which are
    not included with Windows Live Movie Maker.

    Best bet IMHO... create new projects, or install earlier versions of Movie Maker.

    (c) click on close.

    Method 2

    Adjust the volume of each audio clip individually, as follows:

    1. on the track Audio or Audio / Music of the timeline, select the audio clip that you want to adjust the volume.

    2. click on Clip, point to Audio, and then click Volume.

    3. to adjust the volume, do one of the following:

    ·        To reduce the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the left.

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

    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

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