made a movie with windows movie maker cannot reopen

made a movie with windows movie maker it engraved on a dvd. and recorded. I came back a few days later and the filmmaker does not open the file.

It has an .mswmm file post any suggestions

The place where you try to launch the .mswmm file?
A folder on your hard drive? Directly from the DVD?
Of in Movie Maker... (File / open project)?

. MSWMM is a project Movie Maker (not a movie file) file
and if it gets corrupted somehow... double left
clicking the file should launch Movie Maker.

  • Movie Maker cannot publish?

    When I try to publish my movie in Movie Maker, it comes up with an error saying:

    Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available, and that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.
    Everything I used in the video are about 20 clips AVI, a picture, narration and a title.
    EDIT: I'm trying to save it as a WMV 720 p.
    EDIT: I've put off WMV conversion because when I do the quality is terrible.

    In Movie Maker... it may be worth trying to go to... Tools /.
    Options / tab compatibility and left click Restore
    All values default button / OK.

    And maybe the source files are not completely compatible
    with Movie Maker. Best bet would be to convert the
    . AVI clips on the. Before you import into WMV format
    Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    Format Factory (freeware)

    (the 'direct link' is faster download)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup290.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup290.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    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...

  • Windows Live Movie Maker cannot read a particular DVD title while Windows Media Player and VLC can.

    I use WL Movie maker to convert DVD titles/chapters/files .vob in a readable WMV format for consumption on my Windows Phone for later viewing. The DVD is open and has no right of use of media and every other title/chapter on the disk except for this one, I've converted using Movie Maker.

    Windows Media player and VLC Media player can read without problem. Can I also hidden the specific section (and high school) with Divx Plus Converter in Divx format, but Movie Maker can not identify/read the article and simply extract 14-minute shows with nothing in it, even though it has about 25 minutes. Video player can read more about the chapter that is the second vob related file in the section.

    I feel it is a problem with Movie Maker and its algorithms have encountered a scenario where he lost his mind, because I have to kill the Movie Maker, because never happens to expire.

    Is this something where I can send a copy of the image to MS to get trying to fix an error reported to Microsoft Connect, or this there something I can try locally?
