  • Unable to save the files to my device (Flash disk)

    Unable to save the files in my flash drive. It is given the message that it is complete, although it is not even half full. Furthermore, when I tried to eject, there will be a message that I have shuold close all files using even when there is none.

    Thank you

    First of all, I would like to make a backup of all the files somewhere safe. Just in case something goes wrong. I would like to make a copy of the files on the computer. Format the USB. Then copy the files over. If after a format, it still has the same problem or she leaves you nothing copy on then the memory stick may be dying on you and her is to buy another.

    Good luck

  • 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:

    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.

  • Download iTunes files in Windows Movie Maker on a downloaded CD?

    Hey,.

    I'm doing a movie in WMM, and I tried to go into iTunes and import the music on a CD that I had already imported into iTunes. He gave me something the codec is not installed.

    For the record: I have already read the answer of Yes, and it does not help me because it was things I had not bought and downloaded from iTunes. These songs, I am trying to import came from a CD, I bought in a store and jumped in my computer. Any help? I'm relatively stupid when it comes to such things, so it would be easy, plain-English-non-tech-chamois terms useful.* *.

    Thanks in advance! (:

    Hi, pepper,
     
    1. you try to import the music from iTunes to WMM (Windows Movie Maker)?

  • Unable to capture HD video using Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director of Canon HV30 on I.Link (firewire)

    Canon HV30 HDV Capture Issues Firewire in Win 7 (64-bit)

    There seems to be a problem with Windows 7 (64 bit) in the HD video capture from a Canon HV30 on I.Link (firewire). The camera is detectable, but I am unable to capture videos HD using Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director. All the drivers and the software updated.

    Same camera, same editing works very well under Win XP.

    Someone at - he a workarouonds?

    (1) the question arose on January 20, 2010, when I got my new computer (Dell XPS 9000) WIN 7 (64-bit) and I first tried to capture video, I had already shot with the Canon Vixia HV - 30.

    (2) the updated capture in place according to the manual of Canon, using the firewire interface to download video using Power Director 7 or Windows Movie Maker.

    -Power Director 7 is able to detect and control the camera, however once the capture begins an error message appears saying that the i-link on the camera mode is not compatible with the Strip to be captured. Verified media is HDV (60i) and playback camera settings are all correct.

    -Windows Moview Maker is able to detect and control the camera, however, no video is captured and no error message appears.

    (3) will try to reinstall the drivers for the HV30.

    Kind regards
