  I have no explanation, and it makes no sense that I can download some but not all mp3 downloads. What can I do to be importable download music in Windows Movie Maker? or import music that I already paid for and tried to import?

  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. :-/

  Everything simply because a video playing in Windows Media Player is
  no guarantee that it will be compatible with Movie Maker.

  MPEG files are very problematic in Movie Maker... and
  even if you manage to import, it would probably be
  have problems when you try to save a movie.

  The best would be to convert files to WMV format
  before you import into the machine to Moaiv.

  There are many converters to retail and freeware
  available on the net...

  I get an error message "Cannot C:\Users\Paul\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Victor Johnson\Fire security Songs\03 Smokey the Bear.mp3 imported." frequently when you try to import tracks .mp3 to my Windows Movie Maker files.

  What should I do to get these files to import?

• Error file corrupted or incompatible, cannot import files MP3 to Windows Movie Maker.

  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.

  I tried to import my music to itunes and CD of my Windows Movie Maker, but whenever it says is "no file found".

  
  

  ===================================
  The most reliable audio format for importing into movie
  Maker is WMA.

  iTunes files need to be converted to a different format...
  WMA would be a good choice:

  Maybe the following freeware converter would be
  be worth a try:

  Free Mp3 Wma Converter

  (Mp3, Wma, Ogg, Aac, M4a, Ac3, Ape, Flac, Wav)
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
  Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
  may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
  MP3 Cutter)

  After installing the program... open and drag and drop
  your audio files on the main screen...

  Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
  "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
  files will be saved in the folder with MP3 files.

  Choose a format... WMA.

  Left, click Convert.

  The CD may need to be torn... and you can
  Choose WMA as the target format.

• Impossible to import PowerPoint file in Windows Movie Maker - codec error

  I am tryping to import a PowerPoint file into Windows Movie Maker to burn it to a DVD, but I get a codec error

  Cannot import the file C:\Users\Karen\Documents\2009 Fundraiser\Yellow Rose 2009.ppt MWP 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.

  How can I find this codec and install it?

  Blond highlights Hello,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  Usually, when you try to play a video in Media Player if you do not have the right codec Media Player will automatically download and install the correct codec if it is available.  Since this is a Power Point presentation has video embedded in it?  If so, try to play the video file outside the Power Point presentation and Media Player will go out and get the correct codec if you are connected to the internet.  Here is an article from the Microsoft Knowledge base that explains Media player codecs and configuration to automatically download:

  I try to import a dvd on wmm movie to make a video. I have to put the dvd on a file or somehow download it to my computer? How can I do this?

  ==============================
  The following steps may be worth a try...

  I'm guessing that this isn't a step a commercial DVD
  with protection against copying? If_yes_read on...

  FWIW... break the copy protection on
  commercial DVDs is illegal.

  Insert the DVD into your DVD drive... If AutoPlay or
  Launch of Windows Media Player... just close them.

  Now... to... Start / computer... a click right on the
  icon for the DVD player is in and choose...
  Explore... This will display the directory of the DVD.

  Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open it... video
  files have a. Extension VOB.
  Copy them to a folder on your hard drive... it
  Maybe more than VOB files and those with the
  larger sizes of files are the ones you need.

  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate...
  You may be able to import the VOB files directly
  in Movie Maker.

  If not, try renaming the. VOB files. MPG or
  . AVI and try to import into Movie Maker. If this
  works... drag in the timeline, one at a time
  and publish (save) in the .wmv format.
  Then reimport the files for editing .wmv.

  If still no success... you will need to convert the. VOB
  format .wmv before import into movie files

  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."

  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:
