• Windows Movie Maker won't save my edited properly film

  I am using Movie Maker on Windows XP.  I imported and edited my movie, but when I try to save the edited composeepar I just get a 6kb file that does not play.  Can anyone suggest what I do wrong or a solution please.

  Thank you volunteers J.  I saved the project successfully and have tried the first method you suggest without success.  I'll try the second now.

  If save movie file fails you may have used
  some incompatible source (clips video, pictures files,
  music files).

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

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Music - wma, wav, wmv

• Windows movie maker won't save or burn to a cd

  I worked for 3 days, set up a movie with pictures and sound. When I go to save on the computer or save it on a cd, he gives a status bar that never changes to 0% and below it is a counter that indicates the remaining minutes. This counter goes well to the top instead of the bottom. the film that I put in place was about 25 minutes and I left the pc 9 hours and the minute was contrary to 3 600 000 minutes go. It's very confusing because I then dropped. I ended up using a program called dazzle to record video, but is very unstable and guard lock up when setting up a video image. hope someone has an answer for me. I am running win XP

  There is a small chance that you may have better results if you
  record in DV - AVI format. I will paste the instructions below.

  Also, it may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility
  tab and disable ALL filters before attempting to save.

  If your music files are something other than WMA format.. .they pourraient
  be the problem...  MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker.

  Several formats are apparently compatible
  with different versions of Movie Maker
  but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp, jpg
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

• Windows XP SP3 Movie Maker won't save

  When I try to back up / finish my film on my PC I have the following error: unable to save film to the desired location.  Check the source of origin used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available, and that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.

  I confirmed and reconfirmed each of these are true, original source is available, backup location is still available and there is enough available disk space - but it always displays this error.  Any suggestions?

  Some suggestions just to get.
  Try other locations. easy to move again later if it works.
  If it is very detailed, it may be too much all at once, so save it in
  2 parts.
  Sometimes, so really, I have written the source of many times and rearranged
  It would reach a kind of limit. If this is the case, start with the source
  cut into even pieces and after getting something that you like, save it.
  start a new piece with who finished first, and then build from there.
  It's such a fun program, wait until you get the version of win7. It is obtained
  better transitions and wide screen HD options. It is more difficult to change with the storyboard segmented table and reset after each recording legends, which, for a 3-4 minute song
  60 times picking means "BOLD", size, color, length, and method, but the video is
  the main goal, instead of just a small place. Best pre installed program ever.
  I even made my ringtones with it.

• Project Windows Movie Maker won't play in Windows Media Player

  I created a 'film' in Windows Movie Maker - not a bad little program.  I used to be a professional video tape, and you can do things with Movie Maker and that you can't do with the edition of tape cassette - even in a television station in a big city.

  The film plays well in Movie Maker, but he won't play in Windows Media Player (Version 11).  I have Vista Home Version on my computer.

  I want to be able to send e-mail to friends and family who do not have Windows Movie Maker - but have Windows Media Player (not sure which versions have all my friends).  Until now, whenever I try to play the movie in Media Player, I get the following message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  When I click on the "get help from web" button, it takes me to this page:

  This page does not give me the solution to the problem and gives me no option to download/install the codec I need.  I don't know what a codec is and don't really care to know.    I just need to know:

  Should which codec I?

  Where can I download it?

  What are the two products of Microsoft.  Can they be compatible?  One of the options presented during "editing" the file is to be sent by e-mail.  Not much good if the e-mail recipient is unable to play.

  I can also play the movie using Real Player or I-Tunes - but it of okay for me if they work in these players or not, since my friends and family would be no players on their computers.

  Three possible causes of the failure to save:

  (1) the incompatible source files... (eventually... MPG or MP3)
  Sometimes it is useful to disable the filters... Tools / Options /.
  Compatibility tab... Uncheck all the boxes / OK.

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

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  (2) files source corrupted... the only solution for this would be to
  Remove the source files of the project one at a time and
  try to save each time until the problem file is discovered.

  (3) project is too big or too complex for system resources.
  Create several small projects... Save as WMV.
  Then re - import WMV files collected / drag in the timeline
  and record the final movie.

  The following of the former article has some info.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.

  Also you can try to convert your source files

• Windows Live Movie Maker produces vertical black bars when recording edition/16:9 (1680 x 1050) movies

  Using Fraps, Windows 7 and Windows Live Movie Maker Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308).

  Recording of sequences of video game in HD - 1680 x 1050 resolution. Gross .avi clips tagged in 1680 x 1050 display properties. When I open the clips in WLMM, black two vertical bars are added, even after the selection of widescreen (16:9) in the project tab.

  Help, please!

  You are welcome! I have two monitors so I'm past that 1600 x 900 resolution and messed with my video card settings that it was not as blurry (I have a nvidia geforce gtx460-NVIDIA Control Panel open in the taskbar - adjusts the size and position - office no scaling). There are black areas above and below the screen, but at least I can play and record in the correct resolution for HD videos.

• Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

  When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

  Audio--> OK
  Video--> NO

  Windows Media Player--> video + audio
  Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

  Hi tom,

  Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

  Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

  In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

  I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

  If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

  I think that will do, let us know whether.
