• 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)

• Movie Maker: the difficulty to save the storyboard with WMV clips table to a movie file (stops at about 72 %...)

  Greetings - I'm working on a movie maker project. I downloaded various video clips tube in u (in FLV format), converted to use U-Tube downloader WMV format and placed on my table of Storyboard. He looks good and the sound and image (on the small screen) are OK. However, when I finished my project and proceed to save any thing like a movie I'm umable to do. The file is about 13 minutes long, so it's a big file. The dialog box indicates (summary in my own words) '... ". Please check the location of the files and if there is enough memory, etc. "In any case, about 72 percent of the way, he stops to record and so I am unable to finish my project. Thanks a lot for the answers. Best regards.

  Sometimes it helps if you open Movie Maker and go to...

• Problem with Windows Movie Maker 2.6 Re: Save movie file

  I get the classic "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, the location of the backup is still available... "Message ETC, but I have a few additional details that I hope will help someone diagnose what might be wrong:

  * In fact, when I import video files (imports are in WMV format - I have converted to WMV using iOrgSoft Video Converter), he split the file into several clips of different lengths to seemingly without rhyme or reason (done on my old computer with a different version of WMM too).

  Going to the statements in the following format:

  FileName_001 FileName_002 FileName_003 FileName_004... etc.

  Then, I divided the clips if necessary to isolate the parts I want to drag them to the timeline.

  Anyway, through experimentation I found that for each file, I can use all the clips, it was automatically divided in to the last, where I can only use a certain small part of it (the last of them is usually the largest by far) and have it save in a movie file.

  So FileName_001, FileName_002, and FileName_003 will all work and save to a movie file in their entirety, and I can use a smaller portion of the FileName_004 and have it record as well. But if I spent a certain point in this last clip (FileName_004), it will not save.

  So let's just say that the 8 seconds of FileName_004 can be saved in a movie file. If I try just to save 2 seconds of a value of the element after only the second 8 FileName_004 brand, it will trigger the "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Message to verify that the original source of the files... ».

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I too Movie Maker 2.6 running in Windows 7 (64-bit), and sometimes she would not publish the movie. So today after reading things here, I did some research and found this page:

  http://movies.blainesville.com/2010/05/installing-Windows-Movie-Maker-60-on.html
  I removed the Movie Maker 2.6 from my PC and then downloaded and installed Movie Maker 6.0. I opened the last project of 2.6 MM that would not publish the movie in my new 6.0 and clicked on _Publish to this computer_. And it worked. So I tried a larger project which had also failed to publish the movie and it worked again, producing a 40 MB .wmv file.
  So it seems under MovIe Maker 6.0, designed for Vista, works fine under Windows 7, at least if you download the file shown to Movie Maker Blog of Blaine (Blaine Hat!).
  BTW, .wmv files, I brought in Movie Maker have been converted to .flv files using a free Quick Media Converter HD download, that I found at cnet.com. I highly recommend it (and its creator, I sent money PayPal).

• the .vob and Movie Maker files

  I have the video on a Sony DVD camcorder that I am trying to edit and publish in the form of a DVD. I am running Vista Home Business SP1 but I tried to do this work with XP and Mac too.  The only system that reads the disk, other than the camcorder itself was Mac. My husband he created a disk of files for me to use my HP IX506 with Vista. I used Movie Maker successfully before with the video on my Canon Powershot Digital Elph, but get the files from the DVD to the Sony is reallly flummoxing me.

  I see that Media Player can handle a .vob file, but is unable to Movie Maker. Media Player displays all the clips as "chapters" but Movie Maker recognizes only the first clip - even if it's very strange - if I drag toward the back of the timer (for lack of a better name), I can see that the other elements are there.

  So where I'm going wrong? Is creating a Mac, a .vob file? How can I get video off the camcorder mini DV Sony (DCR-DVD305)? My IX506 all-in-one with Vista can't handle a mini DVD in the DVD drive. My XP, it's empty.  I connected the camera via USB at the same time, and they think that the drive is empty.  Only the Mac could import the files from the camera.

• How to change a Movie Maker file name extension

  I am trying to load a video You Tube and Facebook of Movie Maker on Vista, yet both programs say that they do not support the MSWMM file name extension. How can I change the extension wmv or something supported by these programs without destroying the file?
  I already changed the position of file name by renaming the file, but it destroyed and I was not even able to see.

  Hi Linsala,

  Try highlighting your video on the collection list and then clicking Save film on top of the toolbar. Go through the steps and it should save it as a wmv.

  ===================================
  First of all, a simple solution... ask your friend to save
  the Movie Maker project in the. WMV video format
  and send it to you... so you can run it in Windows
  Media Player as you would any other video clip.

  The following video tutorials may be worth a visit:

  More info...

  If your friend has sent you a "project file" for Movie Maker...
  It will be with the extension .mswmm or .wlmp...
  useless, unless you have copies of all sources
  ... of photos, video clips, audio files. Also you
  will need a version of Movie Maker that is compatible
  with the project file.

  There are several versions of Movie Maker and the
  project files are not retro-compatible.

  Just to clarify... a Movie Maker project file is not
  a video file... it is simply a text file that records the
  path to the source files and saves any changes that
  Used effects and transitions.

  This happens usually when the video file has
  compatibility problems with Movie Maker.

  You can try the following steps but more
  probably, you will need to convert the file to the
  WMV format to make it compatible.

  Reach... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and
  left click Restore values by default all the button / OK

  No improvement? Try to convert it to WMV.

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converters are a few examples:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
  http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
  the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
  desktop and install from there.

  Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
  Find and select the clips you want to convert.

  Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
  WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

  Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

  You can experiment with other settings later but
  This should help you get started.

  (2) format Factory (freeware)

  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>

  Next, 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 video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

  That should do it...

  Good luck...
