in Movie Maker codecs
I try to use movie maker, and he repeated to me that I need a codec to be able to open the file which actually happens to be an avi file. I tried to download the codec installation package and cannot do anything with the files. I also changed the options to automatically download codecs yet still cannot open the file.
Movie Maker has compatibility with most problems
AVI files... best bet would be to convert the file to the
format .wmv before importing.
There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

Format Factory

(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)
First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.
Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)
Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...
Select "all to WMV" / OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...
Good luck...

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:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/926373
I hope this information is useful.
Thank you
