=========================================
Just a thought... are converted video clips recorded in
a folder on the same drive Movie Maker is installed on?

That said... Here's something to try...

When you open Movie Maker... try to go to... Tools / Options /.
Compatibility on the left tab, click on the "all default settings"
button / OK... before you try to create a project.

  • Problems with the implementation of the chronology of the railway imported into Windows Movie Maker

    Original title: problems with rails imported into Windows Movie Maker.

    I'm working on a project, and every time I import tracks, I can't place in the timeline because WMM has managed to turn them into securities that are long 9784 hours. I played against them on several different media players and they were all the lengths they are supposed to be, but once they are on WMM, they are totally foires.

    Is there a reason why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    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.

  • Importing video from movie maker windows media center?

    I'm currently editing advertising messages recorded on my media center shows.  Is the best way to import it into movie maker?  When I try, I go to public folders and the recorded shows are not displayed.  They appear when not in movie maker, but not when you try to import them into Movie maker.

    Suggestions would be appreciated.

    I am operating Windows Vista.  When I right click on the file as suggested the possibility of converting the file is not available.

  • What kind of cd/dvd is the best for my video Windows Movie Maker filled and how can I burn it?

    OK... I've published my Movie Maker presentation.  It will be presented via a laptop computer and projected.  First of all, what kind of cd/dvd I need?  I know that this information is listed under the HELP section of the Movie Maker program, but what do you propose to help?  AND THEN... How can I do to burn video on cd?  I got to the question re: given dvd vs dvd-video and was confused (sorry... it doesn't take much!).  In my mind, it's a video, but the explanation stated that in this format must then be read via a dvd player.  Finally it can be read that way and it would be nice to have this option, but my goal is now to have played through a computer laptop and projected.  I tried to save it as a video dvd last night, but after almost two hours of "transformation" (my video completed is approximately 3-1/2 minutes), I eventually escape and stop.  Can you guide me through this in simple terms?  Thank you!

  • Sync audio/video Windows Movie Maker problem

    When you use Windows Movie Maker 5.1 to capture video from my Panasonic PV-GS39 DV camera, audio is 15 seconds ahead of the video.  Anyone know what is the cause or how to fix it?  No other programs are running at the time of the capture.

    Windows Movie Maker 5.1
    Windows XP Service Pack 3

    It is difficult to say why Windows Movie Maker would be to have this problem, but my recommendation would be to eliminate it from the video capture process. There is an excellent free program called WinDV you can use to capture video on your computer, then you can change using Windows Movie Maker, once the capture is complete. Video capture questions can be exasperating. Along with other instructions of troubleshooting, I explain why you might want to use WinDV in a tutorial on video troubleshooting.

  • Video cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker

    I downloaded a video on Youtube (I think .flv format?), but when I tried to import into WMM, it says that I didn't have the right codecs installed.  I then downloaded the K-Lite package (Basic), and when I tried again the new error message that displayed then try to import the video was "C:/___.mp4 could not be imported."  Simple as that, no explanation nor the details of error either.  I used the troubleshooter of codec through difficulty It Center of Microsoft and turned off three different codecs.  The error message remains the same.  No help at all for me?  I just need to install codecs more, or restart my computer?  I hope it's as simple as that...

    Convert .flv or .mp4 file to .wmv format and
    You should be able to import into Movie Maker.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the

    =======================================
    Movie Maker has problems with the .mpg files... best bet would be
    to convert the .mpg files before importing the .wmv format.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, .wmv

    See the following article:

    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:
