Movie maker audio import problems

• Window Movie Maker will import my .mpg file, but will not play audio.

  I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Vista and Live for many years and I've always been able to convert my files to .wmv with ease. My old computer recently crashed and I reinstalled the program and codec I had on my new machine.

  A week ago, I was import and conversion of some files to .mpg without problem what-so-ever, but when I import my .mpg files now, I receive one of the following scenarios:
  (1) ".mpg is an empty file." (2.6)
  (2) the video works fine, but there is no audio data. Yet, if I play in Windows Media Player or any other program, I get the audio without problem. (Vista and Live)
  (3) I also run Magix Movie Edit Pro 15, but when it exports to .wmv, the video is distorted / restless (even with the anti-flicker filter on).

  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs several times, went to the compatibility of the Menus and tried to post the video to see if the audio could have a defect in playback of the program, but without success.

• Windows Movie Maker audio/video synchronization problems

  I am changing a video on Windows Movie Maker (5.1), and when I cut a piece of the file clip and trimmed other part beside him, some delay seconds started with the change. Only, it starts at one point and continued for the rest of the video. I need to solve this problem, and I'm terrible with computers. Can someone help me sort whatsoever?

  It would be a massive help!

  Something to try...

  For the timeline... trying to drag a second instance
  video on the audio / music.

  Right click / Mute the Audio track.

  You can drag the file to the audio / music
  left or right then maybe you can synchronize audio
  with the video.

• Cannot import Windows Movie Maker Audio

  I do a film for my parents ' anniversary and downloaded a song from Amazon.com to use with it. I hear the song on my pc, but I get a message "unidentified error" when I try to import it. The song itself is already in mp3 format, but when I called Amazon support they said I probably need to "encode" it and suggest that I have download an encoder. Don't know exactly how or where to find it. Suggestions as to how I can get the song on the film WMM? Thank you.

  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

  Might be worth trying to convert your MP3 files to the
  Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

  There are to many free converters available on the net...
  download from Koyotesoft is an example:

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

  Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
  http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
  Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
  may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
  MP3 Cutter)

  After installing the program... open and drag and drop
  your audio files on the main screen...

  Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
  "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
  files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

  Choose a format...

  Left, click Convert.

• Cannot get Movie Maker to import an audio file.

  This is the error message I get. The file C:\Users\Holly\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Billy Ray Cyrus\Back to Tennessee\12 Butterfly Fly Away (Extended Vers.m4a cannot be imported because the codec required 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.

  Not sure what codec is or how to get so I can import the file.  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  Best bet would be to convert the M4A file to WMA
  format before you import into Movie Maker.

• Windows Movie Maker is important video imcompletely (only five seconds to hour long video)

  I tried to import this hour long video in windows movie maker, and the result is that only five seconds of the video is imported. I tried over and over again, but still five seconds of the video is imported. I have searched the Internet for answers, but impossible to find a single solution to all but one of this forum that leads to a page for the Director in windows vista, which certainly does not help. Any help on this situation would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, I am running Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Home 32-bit Edition.

  The extension is (.mpg). I've just updated to Service Pack 3, but the problem is still persistent... Right, the Windows Movie Maker version is 5.1, if it helps.

  =====================================
  The problem is the file format. If you convert the MPG file
  in WMV format, you can have better results.

  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

• Windows Movie Maker audio bug

  I realized some songs on Fl studio 10 for my project. Whenever I do drag or import it it opens in the preview screen but emit audio its supported by Windows Movie Maker, it's a .wav file, and the strange thing is that the previous songs I produced worked but not this one. Help, please

  Hello

  If other songs work fine, then it is this individual song.

  If you try to bring in other new songs, you experience the same behavior? If this isn't the case, then it's certainly the individual one song and it will need to be redone.

• Windows Movie Maker - Audio only, which plays in the exported project

  Hello.

  I did a project in windows movie maker with video and audio files. Project perfect cheek (the two audio/video playback) in windows movie maker when I am in the phase "creation/editing. When I export it and save the project as a. MP4 or. WMV file and try to play in Windows Media Player, Quicktime or VLC, as the audio of my theatre project. There is no video. However, when I play the other. MP4 files or. WMV files via these media players, they play very well. So I think that the problem is with the export of the Movie Maker project. Also, thinking that I have perhaps incompatible video files to Windows Movie Maker, I tried just using Jpeg files with audio to create a slide show, thinking that it would work with standard Habitat. Yet once, however, that the audio is played with a project containing pictures (no video). Any ideas?

  Audio was working fine, just no photos or video showing once the project has been saved as a movie. So, I tried your solution of creating a short slide show with photos only and no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker and still no luck. Downloaded the pack codek for windows 7 and still no luck.

  So, I decided to download the Vista windows movie maker for my OS to windows 7 and everything works like a charm. Don't know how or why, but the version of Vista is flawless on my windows 7.

  Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate the help.

• Windows Live Movie Maker Music Sync problem

  I use Windows Live Movie Maker on Vista.  I think I'm having a problem syncing music with photos.  I have a slideshow that I add music. Finally, I want to make a DVD. No problem initially adding pieces to the photo show.   When I start at the beginning of a song it works OK.  When I start towards the end of a song, however, there is no sound.  In addition, sometimes the songs are shortened.  Any suggestions?

• Window Movie Maker 6.0 problem

  I installed Windows Live Essentials, which has installed Windows Live Movie Maker. However, for this reason, he left my Windows Movie Maker 6.0 deleted or unable to work. Is there a way to get Windows Movie Maker 6.0 running again? May be able to install it again? There is no code error, all this says is that Window Movie Maker 6.0 has been deleted, but I did not remove it.
  Thank you

  > If I remove windows live Director, and at a later date if I need, can I reinstall?

  Yes, just go to the download site, install Windows Live Essentials > when he offers you the programs to install, just choose Windows Live Movie Maker and nothing else.

  RE: Windows Movie Maker found.

  (You are using Vista, do you?)
  Start > computer > right click on drive C: (system disk) > click on open > scroll to the program file > open it > scroll to Movie Maker > open it > you'll findMOVIEMK.exe ?
