Sending a video of home DVD for Windows Movie Maker

I dubbed him all my old VHS to DVD videos.  Now, I'm trying to download a home DVD video that I created on my Sony HDMI DVD RDR-VX560 using Windows Movie Maker. When I click on the appropriate folder, however, it says "no items don't match your search.  Windows WILL read the DVD.  All the filenames end with. IFO. BUP. VOB.  Under the heading 'type', there are MOVIE CLIP, VOB, IFO, and BUP.  I'm not very computer.  :) Is it possible to put my home DVD into Windows Movie Maker?

======================================
Copy the VOB files to a folder on your hard drive, then
Convert it to .wmv format. Then you can import the
file .wmv in Movie Maker.

The following freeware can convert:

Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory

(FWIW... you can uncheck
all the boxes on the last screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)

Drag and drop your video clips on the
main screen...

Select "At?" / OK...
(the? is the format of your choice)

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

That should do it...

    I downloaded some video footage to my office at the top of a camera. I tried to import it into Movie Maker off the file to my desktop but without success. The files are of MTS

    Movie Maker doesn't support mts, which is a form of HD video file. How to properly edit these files without loss of resolution is to use a burner to Editor/Blu-ray HD such as Sony Vegas Pro 9, which is very expensive and complicated. There are programs to convert mts and other HD of old formats files, but they usually cause loss of resolution. There are a few players, such as some versions deluxe Cyberlink PowerDVD which will play Blu - ray discs and isolated from the HD files, but you need a fairly fast computer with plenty of memory to play well on high-resolution Blu - ray.

    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.

  • Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.

    Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.  He plays in Windows Live Movie Maker and plays on my computer.  Cannot find the codec. Tried the solution to this same question and in help.

    Hello
     
    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.

  • M30X MultiDrive won't burn a DVD from Windows Movie Maker

    Hello

    My MultiDrive M30x will not burn the DVD from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.

    I also had problems with burning CDs (unbranded) of Windows XP, built in utility.

    The multidrive has problems with cheaper brand discs?

    Just to note,
    The laptop was to support guys three times until various issues.
    (1) the hard drive failed.
    (2) the multidrive has failed.
    (3) the motherboard replaced, due to power outages, it would not charge the battery, or recognize that the AC adapter is plugged.

    Note: The hard drive, not the fan made the most noise in mine!

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know (i.e. pre-installed burning software Save now, drag-and - drop) disabled the option of Windows XP burning. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you need to activate this possibility.
    Please, go to the properties of the drivers (right click). Please select the recording tab. CD recording option on this drive must be marked.
    I use the software Nero burning and in my opinion he of one of the best burning programs. In addition, you should try different manufacturers CD/DVD because some CD and DVD is not compatible with some readers. Check the TDK CD and DVD. I never had no problem with these media.
