  • Why can't I capture video with windows movie maker?

    When I try to capture video using the option "capture from video device" a window appears and says 'the file C:\Documents and Settings\extra\My Documents\My Videos\untitled_0004.wmv is not indexed and cannot be imported.' every time. How can I stop this so I can capture videos?

    It seems that the file is saved on your
    hard drive in your videos folder. What happens if you open
    Movie Maker and go to... File / import into Collections...
    and find and select this video clip?

    If you still receive the "not indexed" dialog box the. WMV
    file is possibly corrupted.

    In Movie Maker, it may help to go to... Tools / Options /.
    Compatibility tab and disable all filters. If it's
    no help... try on the left by clicking on the button restore all default settings.

    Sometimes one. WMV file can be repaired by opening
    in a conversion program and convert to WMV...
    Seem redundant, I know, but it will create a new version
    of the file, this might work.

  • How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

    I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

    =======================================
    If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
    be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
    DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
    a VOB extension.

    Also... the info is maybe worth a visit:

    DVD Movie Maker 6... in Vista Home Basic
    http://www.Papajohn.org/newsletters/185-DVDtoMM6inVistaHomeBasic.html

    When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
    all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
    Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
    is in, and then select Explorer.

    The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
    You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
    in a folder on your hard drive.

    First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
    . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
    If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
    Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
    Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

    (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
    in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
    file to edit)

    If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
    another .wmv format would be a good choice.

  • Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?

    I'm in a bit of a dead end.  I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.

    In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images.  My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.

    Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker?  My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.

    I'm ready to buy a new camera.  I just need something compatible.  Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.

    Can anyone help?

    If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it

    Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p

    The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.

    But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)

    You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV
