import .mp3 song to movie maker
I converted my itunes into an MP3 file and tried to import it into windows movie maker. He's denied saying "...". MP3 could not be imported. "What can I do else?
Hey hobiembc,
The .mp3 file format is not supported by Windows Movie Maker, but you can convert the files to .mp3 in .wma or .wav format and then try to import into Windows Movie Maker.
You can use Windows Media Encoder to convert .mp3 .wma files.
Windows Media Encoder 9 Series
OR
You can also use your favorite search engine and download third-party converter.
Note: Using 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.

Error every time I try to add an MP3 song to Movie Maker, I bought from Amazon.
I try to add a song to a movie maker slideshow. Whenever I have add the song, the program crashes and says that I can't see a preview. How can I add an MP3 song, I bought from Amazon. I use Windows 7. Thank you
Hello emk12,
1. This only happens with this particular song or songs on the Movie Maker?
Copy-protected music cannot be added to a Movie Maker. The license that was purchased with the music doesn't allow for republication and therefore would not add you to the Movie Maker.
Thank you

Yes, google for a FREE audio converter. Change your itunes songs or songs that are not supported by the manufacturer of film in MP3, WMA or WAV... mp3 and wma are more preferable. WAV format is too large file size, not practical.
Then import the song to movie maker. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem. -

Original title: Amazon MP3 in Windows Movie Maker import problems.
Still have Windows XP. Bought and download MP3s on Amazon, but is unable to import into Windows Movie Maker. Says file corrupt (all of them) or is not compatible (MP3 should be). I tried to convert it to WAV and WMA - still will not work. Get desperate. I would be very happy any help you could provide. Thanks in advance.
Experienced same problem with Amazon MP3 downloads. Could not bring to import into Movie Maker. Read somewhere to convert WMA of the song, but couldn't find out how to do this. I wanted to download 3rd party software. Had already created the CD with the songs that I wanted to use mm. Ripped from this CD for PC with Windows Media Player, which gives you option to change the format. Changed the format to WMA format and then imported into Movie Maker. After all, hope this time it helps you, too.

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. 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. "I tried to close Windows Movie Maker and reopening, she even tried to restart my computer, but it still does not work.
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:

audio of my video is lost when I import into windows live movie maker, but can be heard when played in media player. video is from jvc camcorder handy, file type is: MOD (video clip)

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
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.
