Movie maker and the XVid codec and conversion. VOB files.

I have converted a home video to use in movie maker a. VOB file to a XVid file. When I try to import this file filmmaker gives an error message. I installed the XVid codec, but I still get the same message.

Filmmaker only works with some .avi files?

Error message:
Cannot import the file F:\Wedding data\Equal raw image cut\dave\VTS_01_4.avi 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.

I managed to convert the file to a XVid, avi and wmv file and they all play. But none of them will import into WMM.
I also checked that the codecs are installed correctly.

==============================
Might be interesting to try to convert the VOB file to
format .wmv using the following free software:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
all the boxes on the last screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)

Drag and drop your VOB files on the main screen...

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

Good luck...

    Hello

    You try to read the MSWMM file?

    A .mswmm file is not a movie... it's a project file. If you double click the .mswmm file it can open Movie Maker, but unless you have imported all the sources files it will not be usable.

    =======================================
    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

  • . Treated AVI as Audio in Movie Maker and corrupt in Windows DVD Maker.

    I have a lot of. AVI files I want to burn to a DVD.  I do not have another series of. Notice to try with these programs to see if it's just them.

    Windows Movie Maker treats as Audio files, I tried to disable compatibility filters.  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    Creating Windows DVD said me:

    0 files were added successfully.

    File (s) X could not be added.

    The files

    [Name of file]

    is not valid or is corrupted.

    I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    I tried to convert the files with "Any Video Converter", but there is a substantial loss of the quality of .wmv and mpeg conversion.

    I tried "of Aimersoft DVD Creator' trial, but video lags behind audio when I play the video in this program.  The videos show very well "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".

    How can I fix these files. AVI or convince Movie Maker and DVD Maker to care for them properly?

    Thank you j of volunteering.

    I used Freemake for one of the .avi files convert an .avi file. This increased the size of the file by more than 300% no change in quality.  Windows Live Movie Maker considers the new .avi properly, but not creating Windows DVD or Windows Movie Maker, they still refuse to import or use it as audio, respectively.

    I have converted the new .avi to .wmv with Freemake file and it seems that the quality is actually improved from the original. Windows DVD Maker will accept this new .wmv.

    I'll convert others, burn and return with the results for the benefit of anyone else who has this problem.

    Convert .avi .avi files then .wmv and burn with Windows DVD Maker have exceptional results.  As seen on TV quality is slightly better than the quality of the original .avi files on the computer.  Don't know what attribute this too, but I'm pretty happy.
    Sorry for the late reply, but it took time to convert, convert, burn and test.

    Thank you very much for the help.

  • Difference between Windows movie maker vs Windows live movie maker and Windows photo gallery live vs Windows Photo Gallery

    Title: Windows original Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker

    Windows Movie Maker and windows photo gallery. picture of Windows live and Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the difference between these programs and who is better and easier to work with?

    The answer is all one could expect from a "Microsoft Support Engineer". "." It is not an answer, it is a lazy response that obscures the issue. Who the * wants to sit here by clicking on the reference links? Try to take the time to answer the question correctly and clearly. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker, despite its flaws, is logical and easy to learn. Windows Live Movie Maker is the product of developers geeks trying to justify their work by producing a piece of absurd confusion that would be considered to be an 'upgrade' because it seems different from its predecessor. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker is MORE like film professional software publisher of Live Movie Maker, which is just no unwanted standard which is more like a project of diploma a graduate programmer. Movie Maker design allowed me to make the easy transition to the most advanced professional software, but this can never be achieved with the Windows Live Movie Maker, which is ridiculously long as stupid as his name.
