  Just some thoughts...

  It may be useful if you are going to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab...
  and uncheck all filters.

  Also... it might be a compatibility problem with your source files...
  (videos / photos / 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

  Also... If it is a large complex project, you could have a system
  the question of resources. The answer would be to create
  more modest projects.

• 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.

• 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

  And the following link might be worth a visit:

• Windows Movie Maker will not show the video

  I made a video in the movie player to windows, but every time I have save and play the video don't market not appear, but the fact of the audio. How can I make the video show?

  Hi laura234646,

  Did you check if the problem occurs with another drive?

  This problem may be caused by audio\video filters present on the computer.

  Step 1: I suggest that disable you video filters and driver, to do this, follow these steps:

  Director of open windows,

  1. click on Toolsand then click Options.

  2. click on the compatibility tab.

  3. to turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.

  Now, check if the problem is resolved.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/video-filters-in-Windows-Movie-Maker-frequently-asked-questions

  (See the section, what can I do if I have problems with video in Windows Movie Maker filters?)

  If the problem persists,

  Step 2: Reduce hardware acceleration to check

  1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.

  2. click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.

  3. click on the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  4. reduce the hardware acceleration slider to zero.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• 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.

• Windows Movie Maker does not show the extire file

  original title: VOB's with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.

  Ok.  I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape.  There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long.  I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube.  I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos.  When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it.  I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension.  I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG.  Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41.  He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV.  I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker.  I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well.  I copied all the files on the DVD also.  There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files.  Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer.  He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him.  Any help would be great.  Thank you.

  Thanks for the info.  I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video.  So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total.  After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video.  All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it.  Thanks for your good help.

  This happens usually when the source files are
  not totally compatible and also may be linked
  transitions.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all
  the filters.

  Also you can try to convert your source files
  to different formats.

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

  Music - wma, wav, wmv

  And you can try to remove the transitions.
