• Windows Movie Maker - file invalid / not found

  I made a movie a few weeks previously registered, get in there a few days later and made more copies. Today, I tried again and I keep getting a message that the file is not valid. I tried opening upward in the creation of DVD and it keeps saying that it has failed. I tried the suggestion of unlicking the box under the sign that says (hide extensions of known file types) - which didn't work. I tried opening the film again and all my imported data is there... just not the movie itself...

  Help, please!

  Yes, it's the same information I read in other forums. I closed the movie maker and tried to reopen the case. I always get an error message that is not valid. I can't find any other file that does not end in MSWMM. After that I closed the error message. All data are available in the media imported section, but the Council of the timeline or history is completely empty / blank - but I know that he was saved several times...

  If the film itself has disappeared... is there a way I can get it back?

  ===========================================
  If you cannot open the MSWMM file in Movie Maker file must
  be damaged. Best bet would be to recreate the project.

  As for the movie... unless you have published (saved) project in the
  Film WMV or AVI format... it was never a real movie file.
  (this would be a clip that would play in Windows Media Player
  and could be shared with others)

  My windows Movie Maker will not save my movie file, error rises and says: Windows Movie Maker is unable to save to the specified location. Make sure the source files are always available, the location of backup is available and have sufficient available disk space, and then try again. I have the files sources and 346 GB of space on my hard drive. Anyone know the answers?

• . 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.

  This happens usually when the video file has
  compatibility problems with Movie Maker.

  You can try the following steps but more
  probably, you will need to convert the file to the
  WMV format to make it compatible.

  Reach... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and
  left click Restore values by default all the button / OK

  No improvement? Try to convert it to WMV.

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

  The following freeware converters are a few examples:

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

  (1) Sothink Free Video Converter

  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
  the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
  desktop and install from there.

  Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
  Find and select the clips you want to convert.

  Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
  WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

  Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

  You can experiment with other settings later but
  This should help you get started.

  (2) format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
  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...

  That should do it...

  I created an image of 400 + (23 minutes) with video transitions in Movie Maker.  He plays very well through MM.  I recorded it on the computer (WMV file) but when I play this file, it starts fine, but then the pictures disappear but music keeps going.  Any suggestions?  Don on Windows Movie Maker running on Windows XP.  Only have 512 MB RAM but at least 60 GB hard drive.

• the .vob and Movie Maker files

  I have the video on a Sony DVD camcorder that I am trying to edit and publish in the form of a DVD. I am running Vista Home Business SP1 but I tried to do this work with XP and Mac too.  The only system that reads the disk, other than the camcorder itself was Mac. My husband he created a disk of files for me to use my HP IX506 with Vista. I used Movie Maker successfully before with the video on my Canon Powershot Digital Elph, but get the files from the DVD to the Sony is reallly flummoxing me.

  I see that Media Player can handle a .vob file, but is unable to Movie Maker. Media Player displays all the clips as "chapters" but Movie Maker recognizes only the first clip - even if it's very strange - if I drag toward the back of the timer (for lack of a better name), I can see that the other elements are there.

  So where I'm going wrong? Is creating a Mac, a .vob file? How can I get video off the camcorder mini DV Sony (DCR-DVD305)? My IX506 all-in-one with Vista can't handle a mini DVD in the DVD drive. My XP, it's empty.  I connected the camera via USB at the same time, and they think that the drive is empty.  Only the Mac could import the files from the camera.

  ===============================
  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  If this does not work... rename the file back to VOB and try
  convert the .wmv or .avi file using the following
  free Converter:

  SUPER © Simplified
  Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Super
  (the download mirror site is faster)

  (FWIW... it is always a good practice to create one)
  System restore point before installing new software)

  After installing the program GREAT... open...
  you will see two small circles at the top left
  corner of the screen... check the UPPER circle.

  Now... Drag/Drop your. VOB files in the current field.

  Output container... Choose wmv...

  Video scale size / no change

  Left, click the Encode button.

  Choice: A Simple Profile / OK...

  Wait...

  (FWIW... I have better luck with video if I'm not
  try to multi-task while a file is being converted)

  When the file is converted, you should find it in...
  Program Files / eRightSoft / Super / exit.

  Or... you can type... CTRL + T.. o open the Save
  Window and choose a backup folder.

  Good luck...

  I'm guessing that you saved the. MSWMM Movie Maker project files?

  The problem is that the. MSWMM project file does not include your
  source files... (Photos, video clips, Audio clips)... and without the
  the original source files you have nothing to work with.

  To start a new project... try to go on... File / import into collections... and
  Navigate to the files you want to import.

• How to change a Movie Maker file name extension

  I am trying to load a video You Tube and Facebook of Movie Maker on Vista, yet both programs say that they do not support the MSWMM file name extension. How can I change the extension wmv or something supported by these programs without destroying the file?
  I already changed the position of file name by renaming the file, but it destroyed and I was not even able to see.

  Hi Linsala,

  Try highlighting your video on the collection list and then clicking Save film on top of the toolbar. Go through the steps and it should save it as a wmv.
