• Why can I play a WMV video that I created, but not import it into Windows Movie Maker?

  Why do I get the error message "the file * *.wmv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer." If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. "even if I CAN play the video in Windows Media Player?

  I have a Windows Media Video file I recorded using another program. I can open the video and watch it in Windows Media Player, but when I try to import into Windows Movie Maker (as I did with the other videos I recorded), I get a message saying that it cannot be imported "because the necessary codec to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. "I tried to close Windows Movie Maker and reopening, she even tried to restart my computer, but it still does not work.

  Hello

  ·         What program did you use for recording to WMV file?

  ·         Are you having similar problem when you try to import the WMV file, which is not recorded by this program?

  Method 1:

  Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists this kind of file. You will not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is supplied with Windows. In this case, you can re - encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio.

  To download the Windows Media Encoder, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  To clarify, you try to install a program (or download the program)?  What program are you trying to install? You get a specific error message?

  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and

• Problem of publication of Windows Movie Maker.

  Hello!

  When I publish a video in Windows Movie Maker 6.0, he still reverse or change the colors somehow. I use all the effects. I tried to activate and deactivate all filters, one after the other. It does not help. Colors are always changed, opposite, negative, etc. after the publication. Lila, green, etc. Please tell me how I can solve this problem, to be able to publish the video with the original colors.

  Video is not a format... I was talking to... AVI, MPG, WMV, FLV, ect... ect.

  If the videos are not the. WMV format... it may be worth trying to convert them.

  Have you tried to remove color profiles as described in the article: 942632?

  Boa noite Mr. Manasa!

  I'm really sorry that I have not gave an answer before.
  I have to admit that I already found my answer on the internet.
  The problem was the bitrate of my audio file that is not constant.
  I changed this file at a constant bit rate audio mp3 and it works beautifully.

  1. it's specific to this file Yes
  2. the audio file has been repeat auto
  3. it's an mp3, but the encoding was not constant

  That's it, I guess, thank you for responding!
  Hope this might help someone.
