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

• 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: Another user is running Windows Movie Maker on your computer. __Windows Media Player: "unresponsive."

  Windows Movie Maker does not respond as expected. Everytime I open the program to make videos, it freezes constantly and closes. This happens 2 or 3 times until it opens any and said that "another user runs the program on this computer. Close the other session before continuing with this one. " So far, I did a disk cleanup. The same problem happening to my Windows Media Player, I it opens and closes.

• Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

  =============================================
  The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
  It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
  an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

  So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

  If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
  import into Movie Maker.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

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

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
  (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
  Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

  First... 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...

  ====================================
  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:

• Cannot play songs from "m4a" Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, purchased & downloaded on iTunes songs

  My PC: Windows Vista Business
  Browser: Internet Explorer 8
  Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

  When I try to play one of the songs in Windows 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 try to import one of the songs in Windows Movie Maker, I get the following message:

  "More than a Feeling.m4a 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. »

  Where can I find the "codec" above to download?  This will solve my problem?  Any advice to avoid this problem in the future?

  ==================================
  M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
  is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
  then import into Movie Maker.

  The following free Converter works for me...

• Torrent video plays fine in Windows Media Player, but only audio in Windows Movie Maker?

  I downloaded a video torrent on my Windows Vista laptop. When I went to play in Windows Media Player, it works fine. However, when I try to play it on Windows Movie Maker, I can place only the file in the audio section / music, even if it is listed as a .avi file, when I import the file and drag it on the timeline. There is no red X or any sign of a problem with the actual file. When I go to preview, I get only a black screen, as expected when playing audio files. I checked super files supported for Windows Movie Maker, and .avi is supposed to be a supported video format.

  I've downloaded xvid on my computer and it is before I even started with torrents. I know that this translates to the game in Windows Media Player.

  I tried to download the same different torrents and I get the same problem each time a different torrent site, so I know that's not the real torrent.

  I went to tools > Options and unchecked the box I had, which was the AVI decompressor, and the problem persists.

  I don't want to convert the video file, unless it is absolutely necessary. If I need to download something, I will do, as long as you point me in the right direction.

  I ask this question because I see only problems with the .avi Windows Media Player files, and I want to edit the file to make a music video.

  Any help is appreciated!

  It turns out that the only way to solve my problem was to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6. Now, I can actually edit with ease and use the original .avi file without problem. I still don't know why I had so much trouble with the version that came with my laptop, but now it's the only solution that has actually produced results.

• Windows Movie Maker 2.6 plays no sound on some videos

  I converted the videos of. MOV to. MPG and so they could be added in movie maker, the video works fine but the sound does not work. I already tried to play videos on windows media player and the sound works fine. I also tried to add another video from a different digital camera (it is also. MI/GAL) and the video worked very well... they are both. MPG, but only the sound files works in Movie Maker.

  just forget about it. for ANYONE having a problem with Windows Movie Maker, just go and download Video Editor Pad. its free and 10 times easier to use.
