• Impossible to import music files into wondows movie maker. Help!

  Hi, im trying to import some .mp3 files in movie maker (with vista) and I get an error message saying that "it contains no valid audio data" and others that are important, I can't use as windows the song is more than 24 hours, when the song is actually 4 or 5 minutes. Why this is happening and how to fix it?

  Hi r.achtel,

  What is the format of the file that is having problems with the length of the song? This only happens with this specific file format?

  Please provide the complete error message you receive.

  Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) Scan  

  The System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

  (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  (b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

• Legends and Windows Movie Maker-imported photo are extremely blurred

  created a movie using MMM.  Each photo has a caption under it (already imported like that as a .jpg file).  Both the photo and caption are extremely blurry.  I'm devastated.

  When I open the files of photos to make a slide show, it is very bright, perfectly crisp and clear.  I created the film and recorded on my computer as DV - AVI so I could make the DVD.  Help!

  I think that the info-hughes skier was looking for is
  What are the dimensions in pixels of the pictures
  until you import them into Movie Maker.

  The project includes video clips or
  is it just still shots?

  If your saved video files are not the resolution you
  require... you may need to use a custom profile:

  Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
  useful when recording movies.
  Slide show-1024x768WMV9

  Download from the following site...

  Movie Maker - economy
  Movies - profiles custom WMV
  http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-SavingMovies-CustomProfiles.html

  Right click / Save as... drop in the following folder:
  Folder of C:\Program Maker\Shared\Profiles Movie

  If you do not have the profiles folder... you
  to create.

  In Movie Maker... the next time that you save a movie...
  Go to file / save movie file / show more choices.
  Other settings / open the window menu and choose...

• Windows Movie Maker - import problem

• Movie Maker import my. MPG video with Audio only

  My OS: Vista Business 32-bit
  My Movie Maker: Version 6.0

  I have a video file of 4.4 GB of a recent trip.  It's on my Motion LE1700 Tablet PC to the .mpg format.  If I click on the file, the video and audio both appear.

  My problem: when I import into Movie Maker (by clicking on 'Videos' under 'Import' to the left of the screen) if I can edit and publish later, the properties end up the show as an audio file under 'source '.  It only allows me to drop - drag the file into the audio part of the timeline, and I can't see the video when I play (I can hear the audio).

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for any help.

• Movie Maker import does not .mp3?

  During the years that I was able to import audio files .mp3 in Movie Maker, it will not and it does not give me an error code. There are a few other new steps I need to do?

  The MP3 files can not distracting in Movie Maker...
  Sometimes they work sometimes they do not have.
  It is also possible that you can import and
  change successfully with MP3s and then have a
  problem when the file is rendered in a video file.

  Best bet would be IMHO to convert MP3
  before you import into WMA format files
  Movie Maker.

• Windows Movie Maker Import file size limit?

  I have a '. '. AVI"file 3 929 057 KB in size I want to edit and cut into smaller segments, but Windows Movie Maker will not open the file.

  Is there a file size limit? I have not been able to find info on this subject.

  Or is there a way to cut the file into chunks of size who will take care of Windows Movie Maker?  I don't want ot lose any of these images, but in this current state I can't see it at all.

  I use Windows Vista and the latest version of Windows Movie Maker, but have the same problem on my XP Pro computer also.

  Thanks John,

  I'll look into some of the elements that you suggest, but the video that I have problems with was shot with a camera GoPro Hero and I have serveral shooting more the same day, but shorter than Move Maker opens no problem at all.  That's why I me in question of the limit of file size.  I spoke with a few other people who use the GoPro camera identical to mine and they have no problems, but I don't know how big a folder that they shot and they couldn't remember.

  ===================================
  As far as I KNOW... the only limit would be your system resources. John Inzer - MS - MVP - Digital Media Experience - Notice_This is not tech support_I'm volunteer - Solutions that work for me may not work for you - * proceed at your own risk *.

• Error file corrupted or incompatible, cannot import files MP3 to Windows Movie Maker.

  Original title: Amazon MP3 in Windows Movie Maker import problems.

  Still have Windows XP.  Bought and download MP3s on Amazon, but is unable to import into Windows Movie Maker.  Says file corrupt (all of them) or is not compatible (MP3 should be).  I tried to convert it to WAV and WMA - still will not work.  Get desperate.  I would be very happy any help you could provide.  Thanks in advance.

  Experienced same problem with Amazon MP3 downloads.  Could not bring to import into Movie Maker.  Read somewhere to convert WMA of the song, but couldn't find out how to do this.  I wanted to download 3rd party software.  Had already created the CD with the songs that I wanted to use mm.   Ripped from this CD for PC with Windows Media Player, which gives you option to change the format.  Changed the format to WMA format and then imported into Movie Maker.  After all, hope this time it helps you, too.

• Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes

  So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?

  Hi eragon787976,

  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Windows Movie Maker uses. WAV file formats and Apple's iTunes use it. AAC format.

  You can also try saving iTunes songs in the. WAV format instead of Mp3 format and check.

• Please help try to copy the video in windows movie maker to burn to dvd

  First of all Hello, this is my first but I have read a lot of posts and tried to figure it out, but think I made things worse, I have a dell inspiron 15 something and a panasonic HDC-HS20, I had to reinstall windows and all pilots who, I think I did as when I put my camcorder software I began to have problems He says not to approve a 64-bit program and then it worked for a while then kept computer crashing then a black screen at start up and finally when I tried to burn videos to dvd, it says that I don't have a dvd player/burner, so I will now try to transfer my videos through Director of windows I downloaded everything it says that I need and it transfer files, but when I add them to movie maker it shoes a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in each sinus and when I press on the bar moves along to play, but no images so im assuming that he does not, is it possible to do what I do, or I need to reinstall my software of camcorder and just hope that it recognizes my drive? any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sorry, I can't say I have now added my software that came with the camcorder, the software is called HD writer AE 1.0 and checked the compatibility of my product with microsoft and it says it's ok with a 64-bit, recharged even when software and when I click to create media that he says again in writing destination @cannot find accessible driver , so I looked through articles where dvd burner is not recognized by other programs, but he told me to go in accessories of control, performance etc. and do a right-click on the HKEY CURRENT user but it says nothing about the registry keys, it is said by default with a symbol beside him ab and under said data not defined

  Then... because Movie Maker is not compatible with this format... the best bet would be
  be to copy video content in a folder on your hard drive, convert it to a
  format Movie Maker is compatible with as WMV, then you can import into
  Movie Maker.
