Sony Handycam movie player Codec problem

Please help me - I am trying to download my Sony handycam to movie maker but repeat me this for the video (but pictures download very well!)

"The file E:\MP_ROOT\101PNV01\M2U00005. MPG 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 again to import the file again. »

I tried to download the encoder but it does not recognize the files at all! #

I'm completely blocked - any help is received with gratitude!

Hello Christina,

Believe it or not.  Windows Movie Maker does not support the format .mpeg video.  You will need to do a web search for a converter that converts the .mpeg to a different file type.  IE .wmv .avi etc.

I would recommend going to www.download.com and typing free mpeg converter in the search list.  It is a good secure site.

See you soon

    I can't open videos or change with Movie Maker.

    Is it because I have a Sony Handycam?

    He said that there is a lack of "codec". Where can I install the missing codec from?

    Very frustrating because I've used it before - maybe because I have SP3? But I don't want to uninstall SP3... :-(

    Help, please!

    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the info.

    MPEG files are problematic in all versions of Movie Maker.
    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one 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: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup280.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
    "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...

    Good luck...

  • just today, when I try to play AVI files from my digital camera... no sound plays on my pc with media player v11... I suspect it's a codec problem, but how do I know for sure?

    just today, when I try to play AVI files from my digital camera... no sound plays on my pc with media player v11... I suspect it's a codec problem, but how do I know for sure?

    Hello Jorstar1,

    Thank you for your message.  Windows Media Player 11 supports .avi, but compression can dictate whether he will play or not.  This is very probably a Codec issue, you can perform a websearch for a Codec that will play any avi compression.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.

  • Setting of an old Sony Handycam Video 8

    I have this old Sony Handycam Video 8 1990, I remember playing with as a kid. And I still remember worked up to a point where it just wouldn't read videos (for no reason) when I turn it on the black player a few trips and none of the playback buttons work (except eject) it charges thin strips and I even clicked on file and it worked (he was shooting and not errors) I plug into my TV (camera mode works it shows on the TV) but the player is not at all. Someone please help

    Thank you

    Hi iLeet,

    From your description of the problem, it seems that the leader of band and record head seems to be the problem, the internal switches also seem to have malfunctioned. This unit would need to service; However, since it is a very old camcorder, we recommend you to buy a new camcorder with advanced features rather than fix it.

    Hi, anyone know why I can only transfer blocks of 12mins record from my Sony handycam DCR-TRV27E instead of a complete file to record DV 1 h? Using the Pixela Image Mixer Ver 1 and USB cable provided by Sony. My PC is running on Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service pack 3.

    Appreciate the tips on how to correct the problem.

  • Cannot transfer video from Sony handycam to WMM

    I have Windows XP SP3. 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Intel Core2Duo processor. I have Sony Handycam DCR-HC54 with USB streaming. Until a few months back, I was able to transfer videos from Handycam to Windows Movie Maker and could change, to make the film. The last few months, I am unable to transfer the same. When I click on "Capture video from the device" WMM detects the device by clicking "Sony Digital Imaging Vedio 2' and 'next' theresfter... and after finally clicking on video menu setting the message poster"Class not registered"after trying again the message says"the video device is currently in use. " Close any other application that uses this device and try again "I guess this problem happens since I was insalled SP3. I tried to remove the SP3, but in vein. The final message shows ' specified fie not found. can't uninstall SP3' except this problem, the system works very well. What I'm doing. Plese Guide.

    I know that you don't have to get a firewire card, but it will be faster than the USB to transfer the video

  • How can I get the Basic for Windows Media Player codec pack?

    original title: green screen recently started in windows media player for Vista 64-bit.

    It works very well for some videos (like those recorded uncompressed, or some codecs) but a single codec that I save it as coming out of Sony Vegas (Windows Media video V11) goes green screen with playback of the sound. How can I get the basic for 64-bit Windows Media Player codec pack? It worked perfectly for several years now on this machine. Suddenly, it does not work. Last time that I used it very well if a few months ago.

  • Sony Handycam/HP Pavilion laptop g6

    I have a HP Pavilion g6 (C6S45EA #ABU) with Windows 8.1

    I also own a Sony Handycam DCR-HC44E. Unfortunately, my laptop does not recognize my camcorder and tells me that I have to download a missing driver. Of course, for the moment, I have no way transfer info since the strips to the laptop. Sony said that the Handycam USB driver is not supported by Windows 8 so I can't use a USB connection. Moreover, they say that I can use a connection i.Link (FireWire) using PMB as a content transfer software. However, if the laptop doesn't have an i.Link port, which I think it didn't, I will need to get either an i-link to a converter cable USB which does not always, or should I buy a FireWire PCI card for laptop / FireWire PCMCIA card port, if the laptop has a port PCMCIA. the g6's and if so it will work?

    If anyone has a clues how I can solve this problem?

    ewg46,

    According to the specifications of your computer, it does not resemble your willing of a PCMCIA port, which today is not surprising.

    Looks like you need to try one of the alternatives that you suggested.

  • Not able to connect Sony HandyCam via USB

    I have a Sony HandyCam DCR-DVD905E, which was acquired a few years back.  I've never had a problem plug it into my laptop Vista 32 via a USB cable.  However, recently, my computer stopped recognizing the camcorder and tell me that the driver installation failed and I have to contact the manufacturer of the device.  But according to Sony, the driver of this model USB device should be included in the operating system, which I believe because it allows to work perfectly.  In any case, can someone help me find the device driver so that I can reinstall it.  Thank you.

    Hi Cyyl,

    You should be able to download the driver from the Web site below. Try and let me know.

  • Impossible to import PowerPoint file in Windows Movie Maker - codec error

    I am tryping to import a PowerPoint file into Windows Movie Maker to burn it to a DVD, but I get a codec error

    Cannot import the file C:\Users\Karen\Documents\2009 Fundraiser\Yellow Rose 2009.ppt MWP 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.

    How can I find this codec and install it?

    Blond highlights Hello,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  Usually, when you try to play a video in Media Player if you do not have the right codec Media Player will automatically download and install the correct codec if it is available.  Since this is a Power Point presentation has video embedded in it?  If so, try to play the video file outside the Power Point presentation and Media Player will go out and get the correct codec if you are connected to the internet.  Here is an article from the Microsoft Knowledge base that explains Media player codecs and configuration to automatically download:

    I hope this information is useful.
