• You try to transfer files to movie maker collection file to another computer

  I'm in the middle of a Movie Maker project and enjoy this project with me on my laptop. I know that I can save the project and transfer this file as well as all my media on my laptop easily, but I would lose all my files collection. I have more than 10 records with not less than 10 files each, nearly 10 hours of work. Is it possible to transfer the collection folder information?

  I don't think that there is a way to do it. You might try to transfer all and change the file directories in your project.

  Anyway,.
  If you want to try something. I would advise to make sure you have a backup of your project.

• Movie Maker does not play my video and help convert to DVD format.

  I just started using Movie Maker.  I have a few movies made and published to my computer, and they played wonderfully.  I have two questions.  When I return to movie maker and open the file to make a few adjustments different edition of the film will not play.  I've tried everything.  My calendar of film is clearly visible, but nothing makes the reading of the full video in movie maker.  When I go back to recorded versions on my videos that I have no problem playing the video.  What Miss me.  I want to make a minor revision to my film but can't do play in movie maker.

  Second question - I have only the ability to record on a cd on my computer at home.  I have saved movies on a CD and downloaded on my work computer that has Roxio and a DVD burner.  It seems that I have correctly recorded on my work computer to a DVD-R disc, and it appears that when he plays on my computer from the disk, however, when I try to play on a DVD player it displays an error and will not play.  Roxio gives me the opportunity to record in different formats for compatibility (old DVD to Blueray players) and I tried both without success.  Any ideas.

  Thanks for your help!

  =============================
  What version of Windows are you using?
  (you are in a forum XP but refers generally to publish)
  for Vista)

  What version of Movie Maker are you running?

  What is the format of your backed up files in Movie Maker?
  . MSWMM? .wmv?

  For a re-edition, you need the project .mswmm file
  and all your source files must be in the original
  places where you can see red Xs in Movie Maker
  Collections pane. If you see the red Xs you can
  in a right click of the Xs and get access to the
  current location of the source files and restore
  the path.

• I imported the pic of a flash drive files in Movie Maker. When I return to my project overnight the pictures do not exist.

  I work in Windows Movie Maker.  I imported the pic of a flash drive files.  When I return to my project overnight the pictures do not exist.   They don't last load because the 'not found' files, mysteriously images loaded back up everything.  I have no idea of what I did, but they found themselves back much to my relief however, today, I'm not so lucky.    Tonight, it's the same thing, but the only way I can get the pictures if I find the missing photo 1 by 1 by right click and search for my flash drive.  I have my flash drive in my computer when I started working on my project again. I put a dvd set for my nursery and I have many many photos and I can't click on each of them.  Please give me some useful advice soon so I'm not crazy!  School is out next week! I know that there must be an easy fix.

  Thank you very much :)

  original title: Windows Movie Maker

  What source files have been moved, deleted,
  renamed or are otherwise inaccessible... it
  will be red Xs in the Movie Maker Collection
  Pane. And you're right... If files are always
  available path may be restored with
  a right click / Browse.

  Given that the Movie Maker project file does not work
  Archive copies of your original source files...
  It would be preferable that you copied your files to a
  folder on your hard drive and import them into movie
  Machine from here.

• How to save a project created in Windows movie maker on a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?

  If I understand well a previous answer, reinporting a project as mswmm allows rediting if the files are still on the computer.  Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the pane movie maker collections.  Am I wrong?

  > How to save a project created in Windows movie maker
  > to a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?
  ===========================================
  When you save the project file... go to... File / save project as...
  Give the file a name (Summer Vacation.mswmm) and choose
  your save location.

  All the files (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) source should
  appear on the USB key and if you have the intention of re - edit the
  project on another computer... it should have the same
  version of Movie Maker. Sometimes a later version of the film
  Machine to will open the files but sometimes won't.
  ===========================================
  > If I understand an earlier answer, reinporting a project
  > mswmm format allows rediting if the files are still on the
  > computer.
  ===========================================
  This is correct. MSWMM is a Movie Maker project file which is
  is useful for a re-release in Movie Maker. And... the source files
  (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) should be available in the
  original locations...
  ===========================================
  > Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the
  > movie maker collections pane.  Am I wrong?
  ===========================================
  When a. MSWMM file project opens the thumbnails...
  remain available in the Collections of Movie Maker component as
  as long as the Source, the files are available in the places that they
  were imported initially from.

  If the source files have been moved, renamed, deleted or are
  unavailable, the thumbnails in the component Collections
  Movie Maker displays red Xs and the project cannot be
  edited.

  If the source files are still available... it is possible that you may
  Right-click the red Xs and navigate to the current location of the
  the source files and restore the path.

  I'm under Movie Maker 6 on Vista and importing video from my DV video cam. The video of fine imports (in .avi format) and I can start to create a project based on the pictures I imported.

• Movie Maker project does not!

  I just went back to edit a film I worked on and nothing, I can see the photos, the music, all, but it does not play.  Please, please help!

  Hello ska2tra,

  ·        Have you an error when you try to reopen the saved project (game)?

  ·        You save the project after adding media files?

  ·        What is the type of file you are trying to open the project?

  ·        You did changes to the files that you have added as moving them to another location or deleted files?

  ·        Have you created the film on the same computer or with any previous version of Windows?

  Your best bet to check this would be to create a different test project and check if you have the same problem. This will help you determine if the problem is related to Movie Maker or the project you created is corrupt.

  Also, make sure that you add (import) files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker.
  You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

  Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr - ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
  Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
  File Picture: .bmp, DIBs, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .wmf

  Here is a way to convert online so that you won't have to
  Download and install a software:

  Try the following free online Converter:

  Media-Convert
  http://media-convert.com/

  Apple Quicktime conversion instructions

  (1) in the field "File"... click on "Browse".
  button and navigate to the .mov file you
  you want to convert. When you select the
  file... the path will appear in the field "File".

  (2) the "Input format" field should automatically
  show... Let it 'Apple Quicktime (.mov)'
  as it is...

  (3) "output size" has two windows...
  does not display the field on the left, "no video".
  PRESET"... leave it as what...

  (4) in the next to move to the right window
  You can choose the format you want
  convert... try:

  Windows Media Video (.wmv)

  (5) on the left, click on the blue * OK button.
  (sometimes the site is busy... If the conversion fails... try again)

  Now... wait as the file to be converted.
  (be patient)

  Once the conversion is completed, you will see:
           
  File converted successfully!

  Your file will appear right of a little green
  ... left click on the file name... save it as
  ... appears on the left, click on the "Save" button.
  Choose a folder to save in (I always download)
  on my desk)... on the left, click on the "Save" button.

  When the file is downloaded, you should be able
  to play with Windows Media Player and it should
  be compatible with Movie maker.

  That's all! Good luck.
