Movie Maker has problems with MP3 files... it may be worth trying
to convert .wma or .wav files and then try to import into
Movie Maker.

Windows Media Encoder can convert .wma to .mp3 files:

How to convert .mp3 .wma
using Windows Media Encoder

Open Windows Media Encoder

On the screen of the new Session / Wizards tab...
choose... Convert a file / OK

On the file selection screen. Go to the
.MP3 file source that you want to convert

Also, search for and select a folder record and
Enter a name for your converted file.
Save button / next

On the Distribution of content screen I usually
Choose "Archive file" / next / finish.

When you see the screen of "coding of the results.
the task is complete.

  • 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:

    (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?

    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.

    Hello, guenoun.

    I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.

    The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

    If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

    I'm really sorry that I have not gave an answer before.
    I have to admit that I already found my answer on the internet.

    I changed this file at a constant bit rate audio mp3 and it works beautifully.

    1. it's specific to this file Yes
    2. the audio file has been repeat auto
    3. it's an mp3, but the encoding was not constant

    That's it, I guess, thank you for responding!

    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.
