movie maker error message: not indexed and cannot be imported

I put my video clips imported from my digital camera of MOV to WMV with Format Factory and now get the error message in Movie Maker...

The C:\...wmv file is not indexed and cannot be imported.

Try using the free utility WMVIndexer . It is towards the bottom of the page in the given the download link.

The utility should be easy to follow. It will add indexes to the .wmv clip to allow quick advance and rewind indexing so that WMM can then use in the edition.

  • Says the file is not indexed and cannot be imported. ___

    Hello, I am very new to this and get the above message.  I am trying to import WMV files.  I changed the format to MOV with format factory although the video would play in Movie Maker he had no sound with the MOV format.  Now, I can't even import the file.

    ======================================
    I suspect that the file is corrupted or damaged in some way...
    It was probably a problem with the MOV file before
    He converted.

    In many cases, I found that convert a. WMV file
    to the. WMV format could produce a new version of the
    compatible file. Sounds redundant, I know, but it
    can work.

    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can perform the conversion.

    Thanks for the help

    This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable Packages), which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

    You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).

  • Windows Movie Maker "the file is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported."

    I downloaded a large .wmv file last night and have to divide into 8 smaller parts, but when I try to "import media" in Movie Maker is stipulates that "the file is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported.

    Is it possible to import the file to edit?

    Turnbite removes the DRM http://download.cnet.com/Tunebite/3000-2140_4-10783040.html but I still don't know if it would work with Movie Maker (only because I haven't used products - looks like it would work, but I'm not sure).  Here is a review of version 6 (the current version is 7): http://mp3.about.com/od/audiotools/fr/Tunebite_6_Rev.htm.  Apparently, he's copying your DRM files and so it is required to have at least some degradation (but not a lot from what I've read - not noticeable).  Because it's free, it can't hurt to try it and see if it solves the problem.

    AVS looks like he got a number of good products http://www.avsmedia.com/, but I don't think that one of them address the DRM issue.  I really didn't listen to music or watch videos on my PC very often so I'm not familiar with the products to do such things.  May I suggest you post your question in the music and its Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistamedia/threads , where issues of music specialists will be more than happy to help you with your questions.   Or in the photos and video Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where the video specialists will be happy to help with you project of filmmaking.

The link between the library item and its digital media file associated with may be broken. "Try to fix the link or delete the item. There is a web help option which says that to fix a link, you click on the blue icon next to the item, then click "Browse this article. But the only icon I see is a little blue triangle next to individual songs in the library pane or list, there is no icon next to the name of the playlist. Although the click with the right button on the blue triangle gives me a few options, "Browse this point" is not one of them. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can I sort it please!

  • Cannot open the 5.3 Lightroom Catalog. Download «...» It is not writable and cannot be opened"message.

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem opening a lightroom catalog. I get a message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

    The catalogue and thousands of RAW files are stored on an external drive.

    Here are the steps that caused the problem in my view:

    1 has worked with the catalog on my laptop. Disconnected the disk without closing first Lightroom (big mistake).

    2 connect the external hard drive on desktop PC and did extra work. Closed Ligtroom (office) and disconnected the disk.

    3 reconnect the drive of the laptop while original catalogue is always open (see #1 above). Clicked on an image at which point Lightroom crashed and closed by itself.

    The problem now is that the catalog opens is no longer on computers. Any attempt to open the results in the message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened. There is no lock or log file that can be deleted, just the lrcat file and tons of files with preview of the data.

    I hope this isn't a lost cause and I can still recover the catalog. There are 2 work days.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

    Ok. I found a solution. As Ligthroom catalog is a SQLite database, you can use a database tool to fix it. Just download SQLite www.sqlite.org for your OS (Windows 7 in my case) and unzip into C:\SQLite for ease of use. Copy your catalog corrupted the C:\SQLite file as well as to keep things simple.

    At the command prompt start > run, type 'cmd' and press ENTER. This opens the command prompt where you will need to run the following commands:

    1 cd sqlite

    2. echo .dump | SQLite3 yourcatalogfilename.lrcat > tempcatalog.sql

    3 sqlite3 - init tempcatalog.sql newcatalogfilename.lrcat

    After the execution of line 3, you may or may not see error messages. No worries, it simply truncated faulty records that is what causes the catalog to crash.

    Now, copy the newcatalogfilename.lrcat into your lightroom catalog file and run it. You should be able to get things up and running to where you left, or to the point where original Lightroom Catalog has been corrupted in first place.

    I hope this helps. It took me a few hours to find a solution, but it saved me at least 2 days of work. Original credit goes to the author of the article according to http://www.simplyness.com/more-photography-tips/recover-corrupted-unrepairable-lightroom-3 - catalog - with - sqlite.html. It seemed to have worked for Lightroom 3 and still worked for Lightroom 5.3 in my case.
