I converted a clip video .mov .avi and inserted in Windows Movie Maker, but it's only playing as sound and no video

Original title: Windows Media Player
I converted a clip video .mov .avi and inserted in Windows Movie Maker, but it's only playing as sound and no video, why?

There may be some compatibility issues with .avi files...
try to convert the .mov file to .wmv format before
import into Movie Maker.

There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)

First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)

Drag and drop your clips on the main screen .mov...

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

That should do it...

Good luck...

    Just some thoughts...

    It may be useful if you are going to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab...
    and uncheck all filters.

    Also... it might be a compatibility problem with your source files...
    (videos / photos / music files)

    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

    Also... If it is a large complex project, you could have a system
    the question of resources. The answer would be to create
    more modest projects.

    It is possible that you have some compatibility issues with one or more of
    your source files.

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

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi

    It may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and
    Uncheck all filters. If this does not help... try... Tools / Options /.
    Left and the Compatibility tab, click Restore all the default button.

    If you've spent 6 hours to create a Movie Maker project... it's more
    that probably too big or too complex for the resources of your system. Try to create
    several smaller projects and publish (save) in the. WMV
    film format. Then you can combine them into a single file for re-import
    WMV files collected, the drag in the timeline and publish them.

    · What is the number and the model of the computer?

    · This occurs when you are working on any specific file format?

    · Were there any changes made on the computer?

    · You play the file in mode full screen?

    Change hardware acceleration

    a. you can try to change the hardware acceleration in the middle and check (you can try another level too.)

    b. right-click on a space empty on the desktop.

    c. go to the resolution of the screen.

    d. click Advanced settings, and then click the "troubleshooting."

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

  • Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

    I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

    These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

    I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

    Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

    I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    CoDec = compressor decompressor.
    A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
    You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
    AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
    DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
    Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

    I hope this explains it is ok for you.

    It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

    I would update my WMP version first.

    Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

    Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

    It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

    I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

    Need more help with this, just ask.

  • No video shows when you import clips in movie maker mpeg video

    I am running xp home with service pack 3 installed. When I try to import mpeg movie clips in moviemaker now only the audio shows, before they imported correctly.  I've done this before and the films I've done import and play very well, but when I try to import clips I origionaly used to create the film there is no video. the clips play fine in media player, but not in movie maker. What has changed.

    Hi, Johns53,

    Have you tried to uninstall Service Pack 3, restart the computer and restart the clips?  They work then?

    If so, reinstall the SP3 and perform the following steps

    Visit the site of the manufacturer of the video card driver updates

    Open the Device Manager

    Right-click on the video driver and select Update driver

    Right click on the driver and select uninstall

    Restart the computer

    Windows will reinstall the drivers

    Clips of retry.  They work now?

  • How to change the duration of the clip in Movie maker

    Im trying to use windows movie maker. does anyone know how to change the duration of the clip. I made a movie of my meetings previous families, but it is different duration time. I'm still doing, help menu does not explain.

    I tried different methods to change the time on the tag's options, but it does not change the duration of the clips

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

    Hi Rickysbiz,

    You can try to cut the clip and take a fresh start or endpoint for the clip to set the duration. The start trim point determines when the clip will start playing, and the end trim point determines when the clip stops in your project and final film.

    To trim a video clip

    1. If you are in the Storyboard view, click, and then on the timeline.

    2. in the timeline panel, click the clip you want to cut.

    3 use the controls to play under the preview monitor to find the point where you want to cut out the clip.

    4 follow these steps:

    ·        When the playback indicator is at the location where you want the video or audio clip selected in replay, clickClip and then click TrimBeginning.

    ·        When the playback indicator is at the location where you want the video or audio clip selected to stop playback, clickClip, and then click TrimEnd.

    You can access the link below to learn more about wrking with clips in Windows Movie maker.
