  • Error in import of my. MOV video file in the Windows Movie Maker program.

    I tried to import my videos in Windows movie maker program and I still get the following error message.

    The file . MOV 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 downloaded a software called of 1.40 of Prism of the internet and the software allowed me to make the format change .mov to .avi, however; When I played my video, she played in slow motion.

    ·          You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?

    ·          Do you have any third party media player and codec installed on your computer?

    Temporarily uninstall them if you have any third-party media player installed on your computer and check if you are able to import files video .mov in Windows Movie Maker.

    Windows Movie Maker 6 is included in Windows

    The best would be to leave it as what

  • DVD Movie Maker program overview only 4 of 22 photos

    original title: DVD Movie Maker program

    I have 22 pictures in DVD Maker file but when I go to preview it will show only 4 photos in a continuous loop?

    Why not all 22 pistures will display?

    It is a question about Windows DVD Maker, not Movie Maker... but I'll try to help.

    You watch the actual movie, or you look at just the menu?   Looks like you have chosen an opening animation which is your menu as the DVD player is waiting for you to press Play.

    If you do not want a menu (with some of the photos included), then on the first page (the first page where you give the DVD a title), go to the Options in the lower right and choose to ignore the menu and go directly to the film.

  • Movie Maker 6 frozen on Vista

    I was working on a long project minute 12 and it is completely frozen.   I can't change the speed of the graphics accelerator.  I closed the program and restarted the computer (several times).  The original film (unedited) still plays in the screen media imported, and I tore it to wmv.  I haven't added outside of transitions or effects.  Is there a way to unfreeze it?  A way to recover the work?  Thank you.

    If you can open Movie Maker... try to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility

    If that does not improve the issue... come on in... Tools / Options / Compatibility

    Hey Elaine,.

    I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state and check if there is another program that is causing the Windows Movie Maker to freeze.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Note: Once the diagnosis has been made, put the computer in normal condition by following the steps in "steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state."

    If there is no specific program that causes this problem, then please uncheck the program since the start of the System Configuration utility.

    Also, check the event logs viewer for any errors of follow-up when the Windows Movie Maker crashes.

    See journal of applications for error messages that might have saved when froze Windows Movie Maker.

  • My movie maker program does not work correctly. How can I download it again, or at least fix it? It's stop of allowing me to record the final sequence.

    Trying to save the profject ended up like a movie .wmv to my computer, it says «save on removable CD...» "but it is actually doing nothing.  He has never done this before.  It is also not working well even to work on project files.  Something is wrong with her, and I would like to reinstall or repair, but can't find it anywhere on Microsoft Download pages.  Any suggestions?

    Movie Maker is installed with Windows XP... There
    not a separate download. Also... it is updated
    with the SP2 of Win XP and Win XP SP3.

    I suspect that the maintenance of the system would
    more to improve the function of Movie Maker that
    He would reinstall.

    FWIW... better run on applications of editing video one
    machine is well maintained and fully implemented to date.

    You may have reached the limits of your system
    resources. Run the error checking, defragmentation and
    Disk Cleanup on a regular basis could help.

    And... disconnect the net and the closing of all
    programs, including your scanner for viruses before
    Opening Movie Maker can free up some resources.

    Add more RAM, increase the size of your
    Swap file and maintain a hard training that
    a 50% or more of free space can help.

    And you can have compatibility issues with your
    source files. 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

    It is also possible that you have a problem with one
    video driver is damaged or outdated.

    Well, I was very happy when the program doesn't stop after following your advice and unchecking above named filter. But then, after it scans the file (which is a progress!), he says he cannot continue because one or more of the files contains a codec that is not supported by AutoMovie. I don't even know what a codec IS. I know who was Kojak, and I know what is Kotex, but what the heck is a codec and how do I get one?

    I have recently created a slideshow with audio (songs) in windows movie maker, as I do not have powerpoint. When I read the production, the quality is perfect on the screen a small excerpt, but as soon as I open it full screen pictures are of very poor quality.

    Is it also the possibility to create this slideshow on a DVD format to burn to a disc and play in a DVD player (in the windows movie maker program and without having to create the DVD in another program).

    The display resolution is reduced when we look at
    the Timeline/Storyboard...this will not affect your

    Part of collections that better, he should look like.

    If your video file .wmv recorded are not resolution
    you need... you may need to use a custom profile:

    In Movie Maker... (assuming that your source files are high quality)
    You can increase the resolution of your video by slideshow
    using a custom profile when recording in .wmv movie format.

    Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
    useful when recording movies.

  • Windows movie maker problem: video cut or turns off

    I have windows vista on my computer and I tried to use the windows movie maker program to make a music video.  the video I got was originally in MP4 format so I used Format Factory to convert WMV (I also did AVI).  for some reason when I'm working on the video images goes off and I can't see the stage.  Sometimes I get the picture but most of the time I don't have.  I also tried to use AVI format but the problem is always the same.

    I read and I think it would be that the resolution could be the problem, if so, how can I change that on Format Factory?
    It could also be that Format Factory is perhaps not good enough, are there other free conversion programs I could use?
    other than that, I don't know why the image freezes (music plays again)
    any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!

    Format Factory is a good converter but I also

  • What kind of cd/dvd is the best for my video Windows Movie Maker filled and how can I burn it?

    OK... I've published my Movie Maker presentation.  It will be presented via a laptop computer and projected.  First of all, what kind of cd/dvd I need?  I know that this information is listed under the HELP section of the Movie Maker program, but what do you propose to help?  AND THEN... How can I do to burn video on cd?  I got to the question re: given dvd vs dvd-video and was confused (sorry... it doesn't take much!).  In my mind, it's a video, but the explanation stated that in this format must then be read via a dvd player.  Finally it can be read that way and it would be nice to have this option, but my goal is now to have played through a computer laptop and projected.  I tried to save it as a video dvd last night, but after almost two hours of "transformation" (my video completed is approximately 3-1/2 minutes), I eventually escape and stop.  Can you guide me through this in simple terms?  Thank you!
