Unable to connect to Movie Maker or Moviemaker Live

I have a Sony DCR-HC40 camcorder that my Movie Maker on my Vista PC suddenly refuses to acknowledge. I use the same connection I've used for years, A Firewire connection. My Windows 7 PC with Windows Live Movie Maker does not have a Firewire connection. My camcorder has a USB port, a DV and an A / v connection Should which device I use to capture Live Movie Maker videos?

========================================
Windows 7 was designed to import video from MiniDV
Tapes... THROUGH THE... IEEE 1394 FireWire (Sony i.LINK) connection

Looks like your Sony calls... but I think there are a
FireWire port on your computer.

  • Unable to download Windows Movie Maker 2.1

    With Windows XP, Windows Movie Maker 2.1 should be automatically downloaded with SP2.   I have Windows XP and use Movie Maker for a few years. Today, I had to do a destructive system recovery. The recovery got Windows XP (SP 1).  After that recovery was complete I downloaded and installed all Windows updates essential, including the SP 2 and 3, but I still don't have Windows Movie Maker 2.1. I went to Windows updates several times and tried to find Movie Maker without success. The date of search engine update takes me to the elbow that lead me to updates of Windows where I can not find the Movie Maker download.

    It is without a doubt part of SP2 and do it. It is perhaps missing in the menu accessories.

    Search for "C:\Program Movie Maker\moviemk.exe".

  • Difference between Windows movie maker vs Windows live movie maker and Windows photo gallery live vs Windows Photo Gallery

    Title: Windows original Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker

    Windows Movie Maker and windows photo gallery. picture of Windows live and Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the difference between these programs and who is better and easier to work with?

    The answer is all one could expect from a "Microsoft Support Engineer". "." It is not an answer, it is a lazy response that obscures the issue. Who the * wants to sit here by clicking on the reference links? Try to take the time to answer the question correctly and clearly. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker, despite its flaws, is logical and easy to learn. Windows Live Movie Maker is the product of developers geeks trying to justify their work by producing a piece of absurd confusion that would be considered to be an 'upgrade' because it seems different from its predecessor. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker is MORE like film professional software publisher of Live Movie Maker, which is just no unwanted standard which is more like a project of diploma a graduate programmer. Movie Maker design allowed me to make the easy transition to the most advanced professional software, but this can never be achieved with the Windows Live Movie Maker, which is ridiculously long as stupid as his name.

  • Unable to connect to a Sony DV from my laptop using the firewire port after the installation of updates

    Original title: connection for Vista FireWire camcorder problem

    I used to be able to connect my Sony DV camcorder to my laptop using the FireWire on the camcorder and laptop.   Once it is connected the Movie Maker detect my camcorder and automatically transfer the video.  However, since I've updated my computer laptop July 13, 2012, my laptop does not recognize not the camcorder.  I checked my computer and your camcorder is not yet listed.  I checked the latest updates for the driver of the firewire port 1394 and is the day the device is functioning properly.  Can anyone throw any light on this.  The only thing I can think is that since the update, he may have done something for the connection.

  • Windows Movie Maker is always cold. Especially when titles are added.

    When I use Windows Movie Maker, I have a big problem that the program keeps on "not responding". In most cases, the program cannot recover and closes, which means I lose any unsaved work. Although this problem occurs with alarm frequency, I noted that it is particularly bad, when you add titles or credits to the timeline. Often to add a title, the program will freeze and stop on 5 attempts before I can't add it successfully. And ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    It did not help. It was fine when I just change the .avi files that I was doing the video with. But as soon as I started adding in titles and transitions, it has probably closed by "unresponsive" about 10 times.

    Any other ideas? Is it not likely to help him if I've deleted and reinstalled the program?

    can try if you want to experiment.

    If you follow this path, don't forget to create a system restore

  • Loading a video from facebook to Windows Movie Maker

    I tried to download a video from windows to facebook developer, but it gives an error message saying this is a bad image of facebook.  But I can't save it as anything other than a wmlp.  If I click on the facebook link in windows movie maker, it says that it cannot connect to facebook...

    Thank you
    Marlene

    Hi Marlene,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    1. using Windows Movie Maker in Windows Live Movie Maker?

    2 when was the last time you were able to download the videos?

    3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    . WLMP files aren't really movies, this is why you cannot view it with something else. A .wlmp is a film project file, it is essentially the "recipe" to create the final product.

    I would also like to inform you that Facebook accept only certain types of file formats.

    You just need a step more in Movie Maker, you must publish the movie, which will create the AVI or WMV file or whatever the format you choose. Then, you can download the files. Try it and tell us if it helps.

    Through Facebook help page to learn more.

    If the problem persists, you can also publish the query to the Movie Maker forum.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need help with Windows. We will be happy to help you.

  • DVD player won't play a movie made with movie maker

    I downloaded the movie maker and made the movie to mpeg and jpg saved on my computer to my Sony cybershot camera. He burned first to a DVD-R and nothing. So I saved a copy on my computer then burn a copy on a CD - R. Now, when I put the CD or the DVD-R in my Portable DVD player it must play fair? No, it's the 'bad disk '. When I put in another DVD player attached to my TV they return "not found no file supported" for CD - R and the 'bad disc' on the DVD-R. So neither my old portable DVD player or most recent DVD drive attached to the TV will play one of them.  I know the movies is on their as when I stick to the computer, Windows Media Player plays automatically. Even with the DVD-R. So, this is the DVD drive laptop who can not read or what I am doing wrong?

    What you were doing only works if you play the CD or DVD on the SAME computer that the movie has been created.

    It will NOT pay in another computer, it won't play in any DVD player.

    What you need is to burn pictures on a DVD Maker, not a "movie maker".

    Issues related to the:

    1. what type of operating system are you using?

    2. in addition to the #1 question... Why did you have to 'download' a movie maker?

    3. If you want to burn a DVD movie (not), you'll need a DVD Maker, not a Movie Maker.

    What you had described, the DVD movie you will play only on the same computer that created the film.

    He will not play in another computer.
    He won't play in any DVD player.

    For your information...

    Vista has Windows Movie Maker included.  Creating Windows DVD is only available for Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium.

    Windows 7 should install Windows Live Essentials, which provides programs of your choice, i.e. Windows live Movie Maker and Windows Live DVD Maker, among others.
