• Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes

  So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?

  Hi eragon787976,

  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  Note: The use of 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.

  Windows Movie Maker uses. WAV file formats and Apple's iTunes use it. AAC format.

  You can also try saving iTunes songs in the. WAV format instead of Mp3 format and check.

  (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.

  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.

• Why can I play a WMV video that I created, but not import it into Windows Movie Maker?

  Why do I get the error message "the file * *.wmv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer." If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. "even if I CAN play the video in Windows Media Player?

  I have a Windows Media Video file I recorded using another program. I can open the video and watch it in Windows Media Player, but when I try to import into Windows Movie Maker (as I did with the other videos I recorded), I get a message saying that it cannot be imported "because the necessary codec to play the file is not installed on your computer.

  Hello

  ·         What program did you use for recording to WMV file?

  ·         Are you having similar problem when you try to import the WMV file, which is not recorded by this program?

  Method 1:

  Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists this kind of file. You will not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is supplied with Windows. In this case, you can re - encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio.

  To download the Windows Media Encoder, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  Hi PixieNinjaReprise,

  1 have you downloaded the songs from any online store?

  2. is the song that is protected by digital rights management?

  Check the file format and see if this file format is supported by the Director.

  However, you can drag the song at the beginning of the time online click fade at the end of the song.

• M30X MultiDrive won't burn a DVD from Windows Movie Maker

  Hello

  My MultiDrive M30x will not burn the DVD from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.

  I also had problems with burning CDs (unbranded) of Windows XP, built in utility.

  The multidrive has problems with cheaper brand discs?

  Just to note,
  The laptop was to support guys three times until various issues.
  (1) the hard drive failed.
  (2) the multidrive has failed.
  (3) the motherboard replaced, due to power outages, it would not charge the battery, or recognize that the AC adapter is plugged.

  Note: The hard drive, not the fan made the most noise in mine!

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know (i.e. pre-installed burning software Save now, drag-and - drop) disabled the option of Windows XP burning. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you need to activate this possibility.
  Please, go to the properties of the drivers (right click). Please select the recording tab. CD recording option on this drive must be marked.
  I use the software Nero burning and in my opinion he of one of the best burning programs. In addition, you should try different manufacturers CD/DVD because some CD and DVD is not compatible with some readers. Check the TDK CD and DVD. I never had no problem with these media.
