  How to convert Windows Movie Maker files in a Mac compatible file?
  Windows Movie Maker files are the format of Windows Movie Maker project. The files say things to Windows Movie Maker on your video editing project like video clips are used, which audio files you have imported, go to what transitions between clips, and whose effects are used. These files are essentially readable only in Windows Movie Maker and certainly doesn't work on a Mac. Two options to save a video file in Movie Maker are DV - AVI or WMV. To create a Mac compatible video file, open the file in Windows Movie Maker in Windows Movie Maker, save the movie to the highest quality WMV or preferably as a DV - AVI file format. Import the AVI or WMV file ended up in iMovie or another Mac video editing application.

  More than likely you are using one or more incompatible source files...

  See the following article:

  Might be worth trying to convert your video files in .wmv format

  The following freeware can convert:

• This is the message I get when I try to add the audio to Vista windows movie maker that the devil is a codec & where can I find the right one to download?

  The file Morrison\Moondance\05 in the Mystic.m4a of C:\Users\kathy\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Van 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 to re-import the file.

  There is a compatibility issue with the M4A file.
  Convert M4A to WMA and the

  I am considering using Movie Maker instead of Pinnacle Studio, but the only thing that I can't find in Movie Maker is how frame grabs it is to tell how to create a still of a clip and add it to the movie. Any body knows how? Thank you.

  Open windows movie maker, import the video and then follow these steps.

  1. in the content pane, click the video clip you want to take a picture of.

  2. under the monitor, drag the playback indicator on the search bar, in the image of the video you want to capture as a picture. You can use the Next and previous image buttons under the control screen to find the exact image you want.

  3. click on Toolsand then click take a picture Preview.

  4. type a name for the image file and then click Save.

• Unable to save my project in Windows Movie Maker

  When I try to save my project in Windows Movie Maker, it starts recording, but then an error message appears. The message suggests to check sources, availability, file editing and enough free space. None of theses are the problem. No idea what to do?

  Hello

  • What is the full error message that you receive?
  • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
  • How long you have been facing this problem?

  You can try to run a SFC (System File Checker) scan and check what is happening.

  (1) close all open windows.

  2) click on the Start, click on ' all programs"and click on"Accessories ". " "»»

  (3) with the button "command prompt" and click on ""run as Administrator ". "

  (4) in the window "Administrator: command prompt", type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (5) restart the computer after completing the analysis of the SFC.

  For more information, you can consult the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

• How can I make a slide show in windows movie maker without being reduced image quality?

  I have recently created a slideshow with audio (songs) in windows movie maker, as I do not have powerpoint. When I read the production, the quality is perfect on the screen a small excerpt, but as soon as I open it full screen pictures are of very poor quality.

  Is it also the possibility to create this slideshow on a DVD format to burn to a disc and play in a DVD player (in the windows movie maker program and without having to create the DVD in another program).

  Thank you very much

  You post to the XP forum, so this info is for XP.

  The display resolution is reduced when we look at
  the Timeline/Storyboard...this will not affect your
  completed project (especially noticeable seen)
  full screen). If you view the item by selecting it in the

  If your video file .wmv recorded are not resolution
  you need... you may need to use a custom profile:

  In Movie Maker... (assuming that your source files are high quality)
  You can increase the resolution of your video by slideshow
  using a custom profile when recording in .wmv movie format.

  Personally, I find the following .wmv profile to be
  useful when recording movies.
  Slide show-1024x768WMV9

  Download from the following site...

  Right click / Save as... drop in the following folder:

  In Movie Maker... the next time that you save a movie...
  Go to file / save movie file / show more choices.

  I installed the filmmaker windows 2.6 on windows 7 Home premium. Everything works fine. When I try to record the final film in DV - AVI format, I get 5-7 seconds of noise very high height introduced where ever there is a change of clip. IE if I have 10 different clips in my film, I get this noise at 10 different locations in my last recorded movie. These are the places where begins a new clip. There is no such noise present when I play the project in movie maker is not present in the original source file (which is an avi file).

  Interestingly, when I save the movie in any format as DV - AVI, (IE high video quality, local playback or any wmv file) there is no such noise introduced in the final movie. I used the same clips to make the final movie in windows xp using movie maker 2.1 and there was no question also in the recorded final DV - AVI movie.

  So the problem seems to be only on movie maker 2.6 on windows 7, when recording in DV - AVI format (all other formats of work correctly). Clips of same worked well on movie maker 2.1 on windows XP, when recording in DV - AVI format.

  I suspect that the video filters (in tools-> options) could be the reason. I checked and all active video filters are those in C/windows/SYSWOW64 directory, so there is no non-microsoft video filter.

  Pls help as windows live movie maker (installed on windows 7) all blocks left and right and is basically useless because it can't record any movie to the end. Director of Windows 2.1 was the best choice, but it cannot be installed on windows 7. I can download the video to show what kind of flicker noise is there at the beginning of each clip. It is a volume high, shrill noise as if two things are rubbing against each other.

• Windows Movie Maker - Audio only, which plays in the exported project

  Hello.

  I did a project in windows movie maker with video and audio files. Project perfect cheek (the two audio/video playback) in windows movie maker when I am in the phase "creation/editing. When I export it and save the project as a. MP4 or. WMV file and try to play in Windows Media Player, Quicktime or VLC, as the audio of my theatre project. There is no video. However, when I play the other. MP4 files or. WMV files via these media players, they play very well. So I think that the problem is with the export of the Movie Maker project. Also, thinking that I have perhaps incompatible video files to Windows Movie Maker, I tried just using Jpeg files with audio to create a slide show, thinking that it would work with standard Habitat. Yet once, however, that the audio is played with a project containing pictures (no video). Any ideas?

  Audio was working fine, just no photos or video showing once the project has been saved as a movie. So, I tried your solution of creating a short slide show with photos only and no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker and still no luck. Downloaded the pack codek for windows 7 and still no luck.

  So, I decided to download the Vista windows movie maker for my OS to windows 7 and everything works like a charm. Don't know how or why, but the version of Vista is flawless on my windows 7.

  Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate the help.
