• Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

  Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

  I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

  the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

  So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

  =============================================
  The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
  because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
  files... always be available at the original location.

  Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
  all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
  Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
  You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
  establish the path.

• 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.

  As for Shane Childs, I suspect that Karthik copied an answer, he used for this person to respond to your question and everything just forgot to change the username - just a typing error.

• Adding my own music to Windows Movie Maker projects & computers mi change project.

  I used Windows Movie Maker to make two DVDs for the graduation of daughter gifts.  I was almost done and tried to add my own music but can't seem to figure out how.  In addition, I discovered that my disc on my computer was not working so I saved my projects to a USB key and went to another computer.  When I opened the project format and title pages were there, but all the photos that I spent hours to download and organize projects disappeared.  How can I get my projects into DVD, and how do I add my own music in them?  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'm short on time.

  The Movie Maker project file does not include the source files
  (Photos, video clips, music videos) it simply records the path
  the files have been imported since the file/s.

  Whan you see red Xs where thumbnails used to be
  in Movie Maker, it indicates the original source files have
  been deleted, moved, renamed or is otherwise not available.

  If you had a backup file of all source files on your new
  system, you can right-click on the red Xs and get access to the
  location of the files and restore the path, otherwise
  you will have ot start again.

  With regard to the addition of your own music... If you have any questions
  import music files it is probably a problem of format.
  Convert music clips on the. WMA format before
  import into Movie Maker should provide a better result.

  There are many converters available on the net... the
  the following link is an example:

• Cannot publish the Windows Movie Maker project

  I created the project video with Windows Movie Maker, but I can't publish on the computer, a dvd or as an attachment to e-mail.  The program continues to operate in the error "check the original source of file, a place edition available and available disk space and then try again."  How can I post in any of these formats?  What Miss me?

  This error occurs when the project is too big or too complex for
  system resources or it contains files sources (photos, video clips,
  music clips) that are not compatible with Movie Maker or corrupted.

  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

• How can I add music from songs purchased on itunes to my movie maker project

  I can't download music purchased on itunes store for my movie maker project.

  Eldemira,

  Windows Movie Maker can accept audio files in MP3 or AAC format.  Thus the newer files from the iTunes Store should work.  But if you bought before mid-2009 and iTunes files have not improved their, they are "protected" and cannot be used.

• Windows Movie Maker project doesn't find or burns correctly in DVD maker overview

  I have created a Windows Movie Maker project, composed of many avi files (129 min) and I can see the entire project in Movie Maker, but when I go to burn a DVD in DVD maker I can only listen to excerpts from the first minutes 33 and the rest is a black screen with no audio (as if there's nothing there). Also when I burn a DVD only burn the first 33 min.  I tried to publish the project to my computer in WMV format, but I get an error when I try to open in DVD creation that the file is not indexed and cannot be opened in creation of DVD. I tried to uncheck the vidoe filters and that has not worked.  Help, please. I put many hours of work into this and am very frustrated.

  The file is too large and complex. The best would be to create
  several small projects... To each post in the. WMV or. DV - AVI
  format in a folder on your hard drive. Then you can import the collection
  video files in DVD Maker and each clip becomes a scene
  (Chapter) on the DVD. (You can have up to 18 scenes).

  The following links explain how to post:

  The following chart shows where the DV - AVI option.

• You try to transfer files to movie maker collection file to another computer

  I'm in the middle of a Movie Maker project and enjoy this project with me on my laptop. I know that I can save the project and transfer this file as well as all my media on my laptop easily, but I would lose all my files collection. I have more than 10 records with not less than 10 files each, nearly 10 hours of work. Is it possible to transfer the collection folder information?

  I don't think that there is a way to do it. You might try to transfer all and change the file directories in your project.

  Anyway,.
  If you want to try something. I would advise to make sure you have a backup of your project.

• I do not understand why my creation of windows DVD burn only 1% of one of my windows movie maker projects.

  Hello

  I made a video of my Windows Movie Maker project and have tried several times to burn through my Windows DVD Maker with the burning of 7% max.  After that, it gets stuck.  However, my other several attempts were a result of burning of 1% and it stuck.  I've left overnight to see if it was the capacity but the next day it is still 1%.  I did other projects without problem.  It is only with this project.  I don't understand why it won't let me if I used Windows movie maker without problem.  The video was originally in AVI, but I was able to convert a 3GP using dvdvideosoft software. Then only, I have done a project using my Windows Movie Maker.  The full minutes of this project is 90 minutes, while the DVD that I want to burn it holds 150 minutes.  Can you help me?  Tried several things and can not find the solution.  I don't know that there must be a solution.

  What or who persuaded allows you to convert AVI, which is supported by Windows, to 3GP, which is not supported by Windows?

  If you must, convert AVI to WMV format.
  Bypass Windows Movie Maker.
  Add the WMV video in Windows DVD Maker directly.
  Try to burn now.
