  You might have problems of compatibility 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
  Music - wma, wav, wmv

  Also... can help remove the effects and Transitions and
  It may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options /.
  Compatibility tab and disable all filters.

  Large, complex projects are prone to problems.
  If you create several small projects and publish (save)
  each of them in the format .wmv movie to a folder on your
  hard drive, you can then import the collected film clips
  in Movie Maker and combine them into a final film.
  Or import clips .wmv collected in creation of DVD and
  each of them becomes a scene (chapter).

• How can I insert an mp3 music file in Windows Movie Maker?

  How can I insert an MP3 of the music on Windows movie maker film?  I downloaded this song three times from Amazon.com... the file is fine.  Yet, when I'm in Windows Movie make and attempt to insert of the song, I get a message saying that the file is invalid or damaged.  The file is fine.  I'm able to import OTHER songs without problem to my film.  BUT I want this song in particular one and can't make it work.

  Convert MP3 to WMA format before importing
  in Movie Maker and you should have a better result.

  There are many freeware converters available on
  the net... the following examples may be worth a try:

• Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

  OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

  I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

  Hello spardigus,

  1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

  Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

  It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

  Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

  I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

  You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  I get an error message "Cannot C:\Users\Paul\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Victor Johnson\Fire security Songs\03 Smokey the Bear.mp3 imported." frequently when you try to import tracks .mp3 to my Windows Movie Maker files. It doesn't make a difference if I buy these titles on Amazon or iTunes, or does it make a difference if I create an .mp3 version in iTunes until I try the import. Other titles will not simply import.
  What should I do to get these files to import?

• 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

• 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.

• Windows Movie Maker closes when I try to load more than six clips on the storyboard.

  When I try to load clips in total more than 6, Windows Movie Maker closes down, regardless of how many clips I try and load at any time.

  I save my 'best video clips for playback on my computer' - 'Create clips when the wizard has finished.

  Y at - it a fix for this please.

  ====================================
  Just because a media file plays in Windows Media Player
  does not ensure that it is compatible with Movie Maker.

  In fact... Movie Maker has problems with MP3 files... better
  bet would be to convert the files to the .wma format before
  import into Movie Maker.

  The following freeware program can perform the conversion:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

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

  After downloading and installing Format Factory...
  Open the program and choose an output folder...
  (this is where you will find your files when they are
  converted)

  Drag and drop your clips of music on the main screen...

  Select "At?" / OK...
  (the? is the format of your choice)

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

  That should do 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:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6002.18111&ID=C00D1199&ContextId=83&OriginalID=80040265

  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.

  Maybe you just save the project that creates a .mswmm file.
  This file is no longer usable in Movie Maker for re - editing purposes.

  Republish the project in the format of video .wmv and you
  He can play in Windows Media Player.
