Import video in Windows 7 from camcorders
Hi all:
I have a Sony DCR-TRV20, and I need to get some video of the camera in Windows 7. I downloaded Movie Maker beta, but the ability to import the video does not appear, and I'm not sure what to try. When I open the Device Manager in Windows 7, the camera is recognized and shown as "Sony DV Camcorder" but I not displayed in 'Computer' and I have no idea how to do to import the video.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you.
John.
Glad that you guessed it sorted. :)

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.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 incompatibility of imported video length
I have a problem in Premiere Pro CC 2014 where the audio and video get out of sync as far, you go to any clip. In troubleshooting, I noticed that first is not properly read the length of the imported video. Windows reports the right length, just like VLC and the handbrake, but the first shows a time shorter than the real file of about 30 seconds. I have included information from file of MediaInfo and first here. Windows reports a (good) length of 01:56:39. This happen on two different Windows computers both running the latest version of Premiere Pro. Has anyone seen this? I tried to look for similar problems, but have not found anything like this.

The strange things about this is that the mails are visible when you view them via Solution Explorer and they can be added to Windows Mail one by one. However, they do not seem to be in a dbx file and they are not imported when the folder is selected. Don't know how all these emails got it sorted by name of the person (in the folders).

First of all, please note that Windows Mail is not provided and does not normally work under Windows 7. Perhaps mean you Windows Live Mail, which is a differnet program and also does not come with Windows7, well that many manufacturers together with the computers they sell.
However, there are solutions that allow you to run Windows Mail in Windows 7, so, assuming that you've used such a workaround, please read here:

Importing files into Windows Mail .dbx
I'm trying to convert the Outlook Express .dbx files Windows Mail .eml files. I followed the instructions, and I get an error message saying that there are no files in the folder or the files are in use by another application, neither of which is true. I checked to make sure that they are not files "read only".

Why is there no audio after importing video movie maker?
I also installed windows 7 and now I get also hear no sound when I import video with windows movie maker. I really hope this can be fixed.
Hello Baker,
Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.
You can try to disable the restore default setting filters and check if you are able to get the audio when you try to create a movie in movie maker.
To restore the default settings, follow the steps below:
1. open Windows Movie maker
2. click on tools and then click Options.
3. click on the Compatibility tab.
4. to restore the default list, click on restore all the default values and click Ok.
When you restore the default settings, the list and the filters settings are given to the last known good setting.
Also if you have everything installed any third-party application to create movies try to uninstall it and check if you are able to view the movie in Windows Movie maker.
If the steps above do not work, try to disable the whole filter in Windows movie maker and check if it works.
To disable the filter follow the steps below:
1. open Windows Movie maker
2. click on tools and then click Options.
3. click on the Compatibility tab.
4. uncheck the box all the listed filter and click OK.
It will be useful.

How to import video from a DVD movie maker window
Hello J Choi,
1. What is the operating system installed on your computer?
2. what version of Movie maker are you using?
I suggest that you copy the video from the CD on the hard drive of the computer and then import it to create DVDs. Browse the CD and locate the video, copy it to your disk (computer) hard, and then try to import.

I saw this question and answer:
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/5c567ab1-208D-400D-9bce-0598d43a0574
but I think I have a more serious problem. In Windows 7 RC, when I plugged in my camera or insert a memory card, I could choose "import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery", but in my new installation of Windows 7 RTM, on which I have installed Windows Live Photo Gallery, there is no "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option allotted me in the list of Control Panel AutoPlay or on the AutoPlay pop-up that appears when I plug in a camera.
How can I get that back? Without this option, I have to go through the manual steps tedious to execute WLPG and manually choose to import from there and say what is my camera. It was much better under Vista and Win7RC when I had the simple auto play option.
My PC is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I also installed WLPG on two new computers Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit my parents, and they have exactly the same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Hello bitoclass,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.
The Windows Live Photo Gallery import Option is not available from the AutoPlay on x 64 systems. Try the underside of work around to see this option.

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
