• Window Movie Maker will import my .mpg file, but will not play audio.

  I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Vista and Live for many years and I've always been able to convert my files to .wmv with ease. My old computer recently crashed and I reinstalled the program and codec I had on my new machine.

  A week ago, I was import and conversion of some files to .mpg without problem what-so-ever, but when I import my .mpg files now, I receive one of the following scenarios:
  (1) ".mpg is an empty file." (2.6)
  (2) the video works fine, but there is no audio data. Yet, if I play in Windows Media Player or any other program, I get the audio without problem. (Vista and Live)
  (3) I also run Magix Movie Edit Pro 15, but when it exports to .wmv, the video is distorted / restless (even with the anti-flicker filter on).

  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs several times, went to the compatibility of the Menus and tried to post the video to see if the audio could have a defect in playback of the program, but without success.

• Video clip with file extension 3gpp converted to wmv but no audio in Windows Movie Maker

  I have a video clip taken from a cell phone with file extension 3gpp.  I converted it to a wmv file using software downloaded using an XP operating system.

  Thank you for your interest and your answer to my question.  I was actually able to do something with it that I managed to import a file to convert 3gpp in Windows Movie Maker.  Here's what I did as others who may have the same problem currently or in the future, try:

  Initially, I converted a file video in a .wmv file 3gpp and tried to import the Windows Movie Maker.  The video is imported, but is not the audio.  I converted the same file video 3gpp in one file .avi and it imported into the Windows Movie Maker project that I did and it worked! The .avi video and audio imported and played without any problems.  Thanks again for your response.

• Windows Movie Maker-how save audio files

  Windows Movie Maker

  I did once before, but I don't remember how. IM using Windows Movie Maker to make it sound clips, but I do not know how to save it as a sound file rather than a WMM file?

  I did once before, but I don't remember how. IM using Windows Movie Maker to make it sound clips, but I do not know how to save it as a sound file rather than a WMM file?

  ===========================
  In Windows Movie Maker...
  To save only the audio track of a video clip.

  For the timeline, drag the video to the
  Track "Audio / Music. Then type... Caviggia Ctrl + P.
  Reach... File / save movie file / ect... ect...

  This will result in a file audio .wma. Do not forget
  to drag the clip all the way to the left the
  timeline or you will have no air circulation to the
  beginning.

• Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

  When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

  Audio--> OK
  Video--> NO

  Windows Media Player--> video + audio
  Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

  Hi tom,

  Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

  Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

  In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

  I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

  If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

  I think that will do, let us know whether.

  I'm guessing that you are under Vista Movie Maker 6?

  Do you mean the source file is an AVI file... or are you saying

  Publication as DV - AVI can be worth a try if you have not tried.

• Need help importing music mp3 file to my windows movie maker

  I've added music files to my films on windows, Director of music from cd that I ripped to my Windows Media Player, never had any problems.

  Today, I bought several songs from Amazon mp3 in order to add to my Windows Movie maker, and they will not import the Windows Movie Maker program.  They play on my Windows Media Player, however, will not import Windows Movie Maker.  The files say they are mp3 files and Windows Movie Maker says he takes these files, however, I get aRED X and the message 'could not be imported'.  Help!  What can I do to get these files to import to my movie on Windows Movie Maker.

  Thank you...

  I put the questions about music and its forum.  I really need help importing MP3 files that I just bought today from Amazon for the sole purpose to add to my movies in Windows Movie maker.

  In the past I have imported music music files that I ripped to CDs.  Now, today, I tried to import music files MP3 to Windows Movie Maker and it will not import files.  I get a message says"could not be imported" and a RED X.  Window Movie Maker, says it accepts MP3 files, but it does not accept these MP3 files.  Help!

  Thank you...

  ======================================
  Movie Maker may have problems of compatibility with MP3
  files... may be worth a try to convert MP3 files
  to WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip
  (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
  Uncheck the box 'all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup260.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 MP3 clips on the main screen...

  Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

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

  That should do it...

• Window Movie Maker 6.0 problem

  I installed Windows Live Essentials, which has installed Windows Live Movie Maker. However, for this reason, he left my Windows Movie Maker 6.0 deleted or unable to work. Is there a way to get Windows Movie Maker 6.0 running again? May be able to install it again? There is no code error, all this says is that Window Movie Maker 6.0 has been deleted, but I did not remove it.
  Thank you

  > If I remove windows live Director, and at a later date if I need, can I reinstall?

  Yes, just go to the download site, install Windows Live Essentials > when he offers you the programs to install, just choose Windows Live Movie Maker and nothing else.

• Windows Movie Maker: Another user is running Windows Movie Maker on your computer. __Windows Media Player: "unresponsive."

  To clarify, you try to install a program (or download the program)?  What program are you trying to install? You get a specific error message?

• WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER MUSIC PROBLEM

  USING WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER, WHEN I TRY TO IMPORT THE MUSIC, I GET THE MESSAGE THAT IT COULD NOT BE IMPORTED.  HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

  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

  You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

  • Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr - ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

  • Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

  • File Picture: .bmp, DIBs, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .wmf

  If you want to import a file into Windows Movie Maker that has a different from those indicated above, extension in the file type list, select all files. Windows Movie Maker can import most file types, but not all types of files do not work when you try to use them to make a movie.

  Windows Live Movie Maker can turn a video clip, but you

• Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?

  I'm in a bit of a dead end.  I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.

  In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images.  My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.

  Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker?  My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.

  I'm ready to buy a new camera.  I just need something compatible.  Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.

  Can anyone help?

  If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it

  Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p

  The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.

  But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)

  You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV
