  • Download the digital video from a camcorder using Windows Live Movie Maker

    Tried to upload digital videos from a camcorder using Windows Live Movie Maker. To plug my camcorder, a dialog box "import video" appears. However when I name the video, and then click then I get an error message "there is no tape in your digital video device. To continue, insert a tape with recorded video you want to import. I tried eject Strip and re-integration, restart the camcorder and PC without success.

    OK, I found my problem. I was getting the same error "There is no cassette" who you were. Here's what fixed it:

    1. Right click on my computer
    2. Properties
    3. Device Manager on the left
    4. Find the firewire card in the list (mine was the only thing listed under IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers)
    5. Make a right click, properties
    6. Driver tab
    7. Update driver
    8. Browse my computer for driver software
    9. Let me pick from a list of device on my computer drivers
    10. Choose one that has '(legacy)' at the end
    11. Click Next until it is done.

    After that the error has disappeared and I was able to capture video with success.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to convert WMV to MOV or AVI using Windows Live Movie Maker?

    I used Windows Live Movie Maker to create a slideshow with music for display in a Sony Digital Photo Frame; However, I recorded it as an WMV file so that it only accepts the Digital Photo frame.

    You have posted in a forum of WIn XP, so I assume you are using XP?

    Using Win XP Movie Maker 2.1... You can save as .avi as follows:

    To save a DV - AVI movie file...
    (and other options)
    Type of... CTRL + P (or go to...) File / save movie file)
    to open the wizard movie recording.
    Choose... My computer.
    Next /.
    Enter a name and a location.
    Next /.
    Show more choices.
    Other parameters.
    Open the window of the droplet and choose... DV - AVI.
    Next /.
    Wait while the movie is saved.
    Finishing...

    Or you can try to convert your. WMV file to the. MOV or. AVI
    format using a converter.

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

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup296.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format

  • Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

    You have problems with programs:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker
    -Windows Media Player

    Error messages:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)

    What have you tried to solve the problem:
    Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

    Format of the file:
    MP4

    You have problems with programs:

    Error messages:

    =============================================
    The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
    It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
    an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

    So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

    If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them 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.pcfreetime.com/
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
    (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
    Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

    First... 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 video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

    That should do it...

  • Need help as soon as POSSIBLE! I can't turn the volume on Windows Live Movie Maker and video is slow

    I'm reading a file .mov on Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 Version (Build 15.4.3555.0308). I had to install the media player codec pack (version 4.2.3.1001 the file) in order to get the video to play on WLMM and he finally managed to where I could see the video, but now will not play sound. I went into Edit and the Volume of the video and mute is activated, but he won't let me not reactivate the sound by clicking on it. The scroll bar can slide backwards, but does not make a difference. Already, I went and "repaired" Windows Live Movie Maker in my programs. The video has sound when he played on Windows Media Player isn't the video or the speakers.

    In addition, the video is very slow and jumpy. It's almost as if it was in slow motion or something.

    Help, please!  I need to have this video made as soon as POSSIBLE. I need to be able to start editing here tomorrow!

    Thank you

  • Need help with Windows Live Movie Maker and DVD Maker

    I have worked with Windows Live Movie Maker to cut a continuous piece of video footage into separate clips (these are dance performances by dancers of different about 13)... then once they were divided into 13 clips separated, I then cut them at the beginning and at the end of each clip (performance) and then used legends at the beginning of each clip with name of the dancer.  I also added a title at the beginning of the film page, and I added at the end of the credits.  Then I clicked on save the movie and had to wait an hour or more... Finally, when this was done, I opened Windows DVD Maker and clicked on add items... went to my file and put my film recorded in the creation of DVD.  I used also changed the Menu template to that for shows (it is red and black and has lights and cameras as a staging.  I thought everything was going along fine until I played the disc engraved on my Smart TV DVD player.  For some reason when I click on the stages (or chapters) to see the performance under this button, it starts to play the dvd in a few seconds or a few minutes in some cases in the performance... I've lost countless blank DVDs not to mention hours and hours of time... and I'm so frustrated... I'm ready to SCREEEAAMMM!  Also some of the performances were not even under one of the buttons or frames... in other words you could not use the arrow keys to locate some of them to click it and find out.  Yet, when I went back and pressed the 'Play' button, I could fast forward through the entire movie and find performances that seem to be missing the scenes/buttons.  Any help or advice before I blow a bridge! ???

    ===============================================
    First of all a question... did you you save the project in a video such as format
    . WMV or. MP4? Or have you just of WLMP project folder?

    I suspect that DVD Maker is to see your movie in one file
    and he has no idea where are your scenes. More than likely it is
    creation of scenes on his own in arbitrary places.

    In order for DVD Maker correctly, identify individual scenes
    each stage must be registered as an individual video clip, then
    the collection of video clips can be imported and each of them must
    become an individual scene.  DVD Maker is supposed to accept
    up to 18 scenes.

    Just an experience you can import your new original
    video clips in DVD Maker and see if it works properly. If
    It does what you want... change and re-record your clips one video
    both will be the fix.

    Good luck...

  • Difference between Windows movie maker vs Windows live movie maker and Windows photo gallery live vs Windows Photo Gallery

    Title: Windows original Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker

    Windows Movie Maker and windows photo gallery. picture of Windows live and Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the difference between these programs and who is better and easier to work with?

    The answer is all one could expect from a "Microsoft Support Engineer". "." It is not an answer, it is a lazy response that obscures the issue. Who the * wants to sit here by clicking on the reference links? Try to take the time to answer the question correctly and clearly. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker, despite its flaws, is logical and easy to learn. Windows Live Movie Maker is the product of developers geeks trying to justify their work by producing a piece of absurd confusion that would be considered to be an 'upgrade' because it seems different from its predecessor. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker is MORE like film professional software publisher of Live Movie Maker, which is just no unwanted standard which is more like a project of diploma a graduate programmer. Movie Maker design allowed me to make the easy transition to the most advanced professional software, but this can never be achieved with the Windows Live Movie Maker, which is ridiculously long as stupid as his name.

  • Not able to get sound in video (.wmv) file when you import video clips (.m2ts) to video recorder Cannon using Windows Live Movie Maker

    Unable to get sound when you import video clips (.m2ts) Cannon for Windows Live Movie Maker video recorder or on the video file (.wmv).  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this can be done?

    Hi RichGraff,

    • You have sounds in the VCR of Canon?
    • Are you facing problem with this video or other videos as well?

    For now, I suggest to import the video clip in Windows Movie Maker, which is an application integrated into Windows Vista and check if you get its in.

  • I can't uninstall/reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker and photo gallery!

    Well, I need recently the Movie Maker for editing stuff. I looked at theStart > all programs list but is not there. Yet once I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials, but it says I already have Windows Movie Maker on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer (or maybe it's there, I just don't know how to find it). I also tried opening appwiz.cpl and checked Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery, but the entries are not there. So I can't proceed with the following steps in Microsoft Help Tutorials.

    If anyone can help me uninstall/reinstall the Movie Maker? Step by step, perhaps?

  • can I set benchmarks when you use Windows Live Movie Maker?

    Between mic input and my sound card got cracked or damaged somehow through much use over 3 years ago. I have a Compaq C700CTO w. prcessors (Pentium) of intel 2 x 1.73 GHz, 2 GB of RAM. The card is a Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221. I applied a touch of glue to audio for headphones/output to stabilize because I use constantly for recording sound and it worked fine. Due to the problem with the audio/mic input (the microphone gives a record crackling whenever the amplitude is close to max), I am recording the sound of my videos with a Sandisk mp3 player and I want to sync the audio with the video file. Adobe Audition allows me to edit the audio to make it to the starting point after that I cut the sounds of preparation, but I can't figure out how to set a landmark in Live Movie Maker program without calling the start or endpoint. Is there another way to set a landmark in Live Movie Maker? I can probably use hearing to edit video too but have not always taken the habit to use it for something other than the audio editing and mixing if registered clips separately. Thank you from any point of view on Movie Maker.       DL

    You cannot set benchmarks in WLMM.

    Audition is an audio editing application, so won't edit video.

    If you use a Clap to give you a strong a few applause you will find it easy to synchronize the separate audio and video using this noise, then cut an equal amount to get rid of it in your final cut.
