• Adding my own music to Windows Movie Maker projects & computers mi change project.

  I used Windows Movie Maker to make two DVDs for the graduation of daughter gifts.  I was almost done and tried to add my own music but can't seem to figure out how.  In addition, I discovered that my disc on my computer was not working so I saved my projects to a USB key and went to another computer.  When I opened the project format and title pages were there, but all the photos that I spent hours to download and organize projects disappeared.  How can I get my projects into DVD, and how do I add my own music in them?  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'm short on time.

  The Movie Maker project file does not include the source files
  (Photos, video clips, music videos) it simply records the path
  the files have been imported since the file/s.

  Whan you see red Xs where thumbnails used to be
  in Movie Maker, it indicates the original source files have
  been deleted, moved, renamed or is otherwise not available.

  If you had a backup file of all source files on your new
  system, you can right-click on the red Xs and get access to the
  location of the files and restore the path, otherwise
  you will have ot start again.

  With regard to the addition of your own music... If you have any questions
  import music files it is probably a problem of format.
  Convert music clips on the. WMA format before
  import into Movie Maker should provide a better result.

  There are many converters available on the net... the
  the following link is an example:

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

  Format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  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 music files on the main screen...

  Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

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

  That should do it...

• "Movie Maker project file cannot be used in this context.

  I have created a slideshow of photos with music. When I use Windows Movie Maker and continue to publish my movie. I chose to publish my movie to a DVD. Then Movie Makers boot me and open DVD Maker. I try to put some audio in the background of the menu and it won't let me I get a error that says "Movie Maker project cannot be used in this context..." The heck that means and how to fix it?

  Help!

  When you import a Movie Maker project file directly from the film
  Manufacturer in DVD Maker I don't think you can continue to edit.

  Could you publish (save) the Movie Maker project in the. WMV
  Film format and then import them saved. WMV to DVD file
  Manufacturer and add other source files.

• How can I add music from songs purchased on itunes to my movie maker project

  I can't download music purchased on itunes store for my movie maker project.

  Eldemira,

  Windows Movie Maker can accept audio files in MP3 or AAC format.  Thus the newer files from the iTunes Store should work.  But if you bought before mid-2009 and iTunes files have not improved their, they are "protected" and cannot be used.

• Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

  Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

  I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

  the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

  So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

  =============================================
  The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
  because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
  files... always be available at the original location.

  Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
  all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
  Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
  You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
  establish the path.

• Windows Movie Maker project doesn't find or burns correctly in DVD maker overview

  I have created a Windows Movie Maker project, composed of many avi files (129 min) and I can see the entire project in Movie Maker, but when I go to burn a DVD in DVD maker I can only listen to excerpts from the first minutes 33 and the rest is a black screen with no audio (as if there's nothing there). Also when I burn a DVD only burn the first 33 min.  I tried to publish the project to my computer in WMV format, but I get an error when I try to open in DVD creation that the file is not indexed and cannot be opened in creation of DVD. I tried to uncheck the vidoe filters and that has not worked.  Help, please. I put many hours of work into this and am very frustrated.

  The file is too large and complex. The best would be to create
  several small projects... To each post in the. WMV or. DV - AVI
  format in a folder on your hard drive. Then you can import the collection
  video files in DVD Maker and each clip becomes a scene
  (Chapter) on the DVD. (You can have up to 18 scenes).

  The following links explain how to post:

  Windows Vista - publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker

  The following chart shows where the DV - AVI option.

  Also... for a project for more than two hours... There is a possibility that
  You may need to use a DVD Double layer...

  Good luck...

• import of a song in a Movie Maker project

  The song I want to import into my Windows Movie Maker project is a MPEG4.  Is that why I get a message indicating that the file is not found when it is clearly on my computer?  I have a deadline and cannot access the song.  Now what should I do?

• I do not understand why my creation of windows DVD burn only 1% of one of my windows movie maker projects.

  Hello

  I made a video of my Windows Movie Maker project and have tried several times to burn through my Windows DVD Maker with the burning of 7% max.  After that, it gets stuck.  However, my other several attempts were a result of burning of 1% and it stuck.  I've left overnight to see if it was the capacity but the next day it is still 1%.  I did other projects without problem.  It is only with this project.  I don't understand why it won't let me if I used Windows movie maker without problem.  The video was originally in AVI, but I was able to convert a 3GP using dvdvideosoft software. Then only, I have done a project using my Windows Movie Maker.  The full minutes of this project is 90 minutes, while the DVD that I want to burn it holds 150 minutes.  Can you help me?  Tried several things and can not find the solution.  I don't know that there must be a solution.

  What or who persuaded allows you to convert AVI, which is supported by Windows, to 3GP, which is not supported by Windows?

  If you must, convert AVI to WMV format.
  Bypass Windows Movie Maker.
  Add the WMV video in Windows DVD Maker directly.
  Try to burn now.

• creation of DVD will not burn DVDs for movie maker projects, why?

  I have vista 32 bit. I save movie maker projects, then try to burn them on a disk, but it says only as (0r full 98, 99%) in a single box eventually & (cannot create the dvd, an error occurred while burning the DVDs) in the other box... sometimes it burns, but lately it's not at all... I bought a new drive, I did a restore of full operating system, but nothing works... I need some updates?... what I need to change the format?... BTW, my computer seems to not fit either...

• My saved Windows Movie Maker Project open with video clips in the Audio editing panel and vice versa (NOT as it was created). Can I move them back where they belong?

  After days of the creation of a filmmaker 'project' I 'saved project' one last time, then reopen and publish a movie.  All my video Clips (phtotos) now appear in the Audio editing / music along the bottom with only a video clip standing in line of the video of this 'slide show' of 90 minutes.  Is it possible to move these clips to which they belong without having to recreate the whole project?

  What happens if you try to read the project in Movie Maker?

  Looks like your project .mswmm file is corrupt (starting
  Perhaps more than the best approach). The project can be as far
  too big and too complex to publish (save) with success as a
  video file.

  I suggest that you create several small projects
  and publish (save), each of them in the. WMV video format
  and then re-import the collection. To combine WMV files
  in a single movie.

  You can also import collection. Clips WMV to DVD
  Manufacturer and each clip, would have become a scene (chapter)
  on the DVD.
