  Does anyone have any suggestions? It keeps giving me an arror code saying something codec. What shoul I do... help

  Hi napoleonfoo,

  Did you follow the steps provided by John Inzer?

  To better understand the issue, we need the following information:

  (a) what is the exact error that you receive when you import video into windows movie maker?

  (b) what is the file format of the video you are trying to import?

  (c) means the video sharing with each drive that you use or simply with a particular player?

  To clarify, you try to install a program (or download the program)?  What program are you trying to install? You get a specific error message?

  See the link below for the file format supported.

  Import video, images and audio in Windows Movie Maker

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/import-video-files-pictures-and-audio-into-Windows-Movie-Maker

  You can search online for the codec or convert the file into a format that windows movie maker can understand.

  Note: 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.

  ==========================================
  FWIW... Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is not an update... it's a disassembled
  version for systems that will not run Vista Movie Maker 6.

  The new version... would be Windows Live Movie Maker. It is quite
  different from version 6. If you decide to try it... plan on creating
  a new project because your version 6 files probably will not
  be compatible.

  Windows Live Movie Maker

  (There are other applications included in the download...
  Uncheck the ones you don't want)

  As for the error... I wonder if you may have a compatibility issue
  with your source files.

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

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Music - wma, wav, wmv

  Have you tried editing (save) your project in the WMV movie
  format and then importing the video file in Windows DVD WMV
  Maker?

  It is also possible that your project is too large or complex.

• 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.

  The WMM gives the error message "stopping" whenever I try to open this project.  I have Windows XP.  My project was started about 18 months ago, and I believe that WMM has been automatically updated since then.  I thought that an older project could be opened in a new version of WMM, although a more recent project could not be opened in a previous version.  I'd really like to reopen this project in order to complete and save, because I spent a lot of time to compile.  Would appreciate any help that can be given.  Thank you

  Hi ElisabethLee,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. are you able to create and save a new project using Windows movie maker files?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP uses video and audio filters when you import, preview and record movies.

  I suggest that you turn off the video and audio filters in Windows movie maker and check if it works.

  To change the video filter settings

  (a) click on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the compatibility tab.

  (b) in the list of video filters, you can enable or disable a filter by selecting or clearing the check box.

  Change the video filter settings

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/MovieMaker/change-video-filter-settings

  Method 2

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  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:

• Windows Movie Maker - savings-older version

  HI - my daughter received a project to make a band trailer of the movie using Windows Movie Maker.  We have 6 Version, no problem.  But the school has V2.1.4026.0 with a Spk2 V5.1.

  The teacher said that we have to save the project, so it can be read by an earlier version of the software.  I went to the save option under and the "Save as type" gives only the option "Save as Windows Movie maker Project.  I'm sure it's a simple solution, but since this is our first experience with this package I need help.

  So, how to save a Version6 project file so it can be read by older Versions of Windows Movie Maker?
  Anyone?

  Hi Harleysfran,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Project files more Movie Maker version are not compatible with the lower version of Movie Maker. However, you can publish the project to .avi or .wmv format so that you can play these video files on any computer.

  But you cannot change the published video file.
