Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker
Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes
So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?
Hi eragon787976,
Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

A problem of importing files into Windows Movie Maker
Windows Movie Maker uses. WAV file formats and Apple's iTunes use it. AAC format.
You can also try saving iTunes songs in the. WAV format instead of Mp3 format and check.

Why can't I import songs into Windows Movie Maker?
Whenever I have import an mp3 file into Windows Movie Maker, I find myself with an astronomically long mp3. When I open the properties of the mp3 out of the program (on the desktop or in iTunes), I get that mp3 is normal size (approximately 3-5 minutes long) but when I open porperties in WMM, it turns out be more close to 3000 hours.

I have no explanation, and it makes no sense that I can download some but not all mp3 downloads. What can I do to be importable download music in Windows Movie Maker? or import music that I already paid for and tried to import?
Hello, guenoun.
I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.
The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.
If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

Problems with the implementation of the chronology of the railway imported into Windows Movie Maker
Original title: problems with rails imported into Windows Movie Maker.
I'm working on a project, and every time I import tracks, I can't place in the timeline because WMM has managed to turn them into securities that are long 9784 hours. I played against them on several different media players and they were all the lengths they are supposed to be, but once they are on WMM, they are totally foires.
Is there a reason why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?
Hi PixieNinjaReprise,
1 have you downloaded the songs from any online store?
2. is the song that is protected by digital rights management?
Check the file format and see if this file format is supported by the Director.
However, you can drag the song at the beginning of the time online click fade at the end of the song.

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:

Watch the video file. The last 3 letters represent the file format.
Windows Movie maker only supports the following video file formats:
Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
If yours is not on the above list, Movie Maker will have probel play.
In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge
Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.Excerpt:
iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
The description of its creator:
MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.
Best thing: it's free.

convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understandYou can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
2. click on the button "import settings".
3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
4. click OK and go back to your music library
5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library
11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c
