• cannot open mswmm file - he said: it was created in a version of movie maker which is not supported.

  Similar questions seem to have been requested several times - but with no satisfatory answer that works for me

  I saved a project in movie maker and subsequently he published successfully.  I lost the published file and now cannot re - open the mswmm file - he says that it was created in a version of movie maker, which is not supported.  How access you the project or convert it to a DVD or other format that I can open?  Since the creation of the file for over a year, I transferred to a new laptop.  Running XP, SP3 currently and no other problems.

  Thank you

• 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

• Help! I did a movie with pictures on Movie Maker, played very well. Now, it's just to show Xs red in the photos of some, but not all. What I am doing wrong?

  I did a movie with pictures on Movie Maker and played very well.  Now, it's just to show Xs red in the photos of some, but not all.  What I am doing wrong?

  When you save your project, and then rename, move or delete a photo next time you open your project, you will see a red X where the photo was. Just a click with the right button on the X and select Remove then import your photo again under the new name or location and click on save project on the file menu.

  In the menu task under finished film click Save to my computer tracking instructions and your project will be saved as a movie.

• Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive

  Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER?  I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?

  Hi BrookeMcCulley,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs.  You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.

  You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.

• Windows Movie Maker - music is not playing little matter what I do

  I'm making a movie for my best friend for her birthday. I'm trying to use some of our favorite songs as background music. I'm going to and upload music and it is important, but when I put it in the movie and I play it, no music plays. I know that the film plays because my images in the film show the way they are supposed to. The volume on my computer is in place, and I went through all the audio levels and volume. I went upstairs, hit the clip and have a level of hihgh audio in the editing mode, I hit chronology and went to sound levels, and it is up. I even checked the properties of the songs I am trying to use, and they present themselves as a .mp3. When I went on google and other things to see what could be the problem, a page said that even if the music is in .mp3 form and other forms that work with Windows Movie Maker, they can simply not work. However, some of the songs I am using, I have used in other films I've done, and they do not work yet. So I don't understand what the problem is, and I've checked everything. Is there something that I don't check? Help, please! I really need to solve this problem, because I use movie maker for both school projects, and this movie would be amazing as a birthday gift.

  Hi monkeygurlsurfs,

  If you get the sound from your pc in other programs, the problem is not hardware. Did you of updates or Windows updates or any software installed since the last time that your audio worked? Usually, if the audio doesn't work, is it a device driver conflict. Make sure you have the updated driver for your sound card from the manufacturer's website. Also, check your device manager to see if the audio device appears normal (no yellow exclamation point). You can try to perform a check of the filesystem (CFS) to see if there are any corrupt files that Windows can correct:

  The System File Checker tool:

  To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1 click on Start -> click on all programs -> click on Accessories -> - click on command prompt, Select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow .

  3. when the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Try these procedures and let us know how you do. If you're still having problems, we will be happy to help you further.

• 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 :)

• Why will my reading to capture video in movie maker plays high speed like an old silent movie?

  When I capture Let's say for example a 5 MB of my camera void vid clip and then drag down to the showreel in movie maker to play, he plays in a fast speed like an old silent movie.  It also does not appear to capture the whole 5 MB, as clip when you click on finish or stop the capture, it loads very fast upwards.  It did not in the past.  It's my screen resolution? or is there something that I am missing the controls? or do I Director 2?  I also just got a new motherboard and card better graphics, such that mentioned, this problem did not exist until I put the updates in.  Thank you.

• Movie Maker plays audio / video in the preview window, no audio on the table of storyboard / timeline

  Never had this problem before - I have downloaded the clip from digital camera to PC, then imported into Movie Maker.  He plays in the screen preview with audio and video, but when I add it to the editing view or the storyboard table, there is no audio despite the visibly populated audio track.  Volume settings show no inhibition and no adjustment of the volume level will bring the sound up. A lot of gel on, too.

  Something to try...

  In Movie Maker... try to go to... Tools / Options / compatibility... tab and uncheck all filters / OK.

  If no improvement... go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab... left click on the "All default settings" button / OK.

  If this does not work... it may be worth trying to convert the video clip of the. Before importing WMV format.

• Impossible to import the .cda in Movie Maker: codec is not installed

  Original title: codec download

  Juliet E. Day: The file as e:\track01. CDA 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. I need to know where to find the downloads for this

  The .cda file format is not supported by the windows Live movie maker. You need a third party application to operate. S.Sengupta Media Center MVP

• Windows Movie Maker plays audio only, from video files downloaded

  (I see other, similar types of questions about my problem, but none that fits 'exactly'.  So here we are...)  Recently, I used the Roxio VHS to DVD software to capture movies at home at my computer.  Files saved as .mpg files.

  When I tried to use Windows Movie Maker to edit some clips at all, I couldn't see any video (only the audio was playing).

  I used the 'compatibility', put options different filters turned off. but this does not work either.

  What should I do to solve my problem (and subsequently, to play these videos)?

  =====================================
  Movie Maker has problems of compatibility with .mpg
  conversion of files... files in .wmv format .mpg
  before you import into Movie Maker may be your solution.

  The following freeware can convert:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First... 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 clips .mpg video on the
  main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

• Windows Movie Maker plays sound but no picture for the Sims 2 movies after installing the codec vp6vfw.dll - how to fix Movie Maker?

  Sims 2 was not properly installing its codec vp6vfw.dll film so I copy and pasted from Sims 1 CD in my windows > System 32.  Now when I play the Sims 2 game I can make movies.  They appear in Windows Media Player very well.  But they do not visually show in Windows Movie Maker.  I get sound.  How can I fix Windows Movie Maker to display my Sims 2 movies?

  I found the answer.  Windows Movie Maker is no longer supported.  The new version is Windows Live Movie Maker, and it has all the appropriate codecs.  Download that and you're good!

  WMM is trash but it can not be uninstalled from the PC.  Just ignore it and use WLMM.

• Movie Maker plays my movie, but he leaves when published on computer and burned to DVD clips

  I just made my first movie using Windows Movie Maker. He plays a lot (and displaying all clips) in Movie Maker, but when I published the movie to my computer it left out a lot of the clips. He'll just black on the screen, then finally plays again. (Obviously), he plays the same way on the DVD I burned using Windows DVD maker. What can happen? What should I change? As I said, in Movie Maker, he plays throughout and leaves no transitions, titles or clips. Thanks for any help!

  ============================================
  A few ideas.

  It may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and
  Uncheck all filters / OK.

  Maybe some of your video clips are not fully compatible with the film
  Maker. Even if they can play when on the timeline... compatibility
  question arises when the project is published in a final movie WMV file.

  FWIW... Several formats are apparently compatible with Movie Maker but
  the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp

  Video - wmv or dv - avi

  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  And sometimes make a project as large and complex can cause problems.

  Automatic video option might be worth a try:

• 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)
