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.
In this case, you will have to google for a free video converter and change the format of your video file to WMV. WMV format is the most reliable format for Windows. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Could do audio or video during playback of video file into Windows Movie Maker.
Original title: problems using Windows Movie Maker.
I have a HP Pavilion p6310f desktop computer and I created a movie using about 16 short mpeg files. However, there are no audio or video when I play the individual files in the preview window, and when I try to play the movie, the program crashes. What could be the cause of the problem?
Reset did not help, either. Should I convert the MPEG to AVI files? I read somewhere that might help.
Give it a try. It won't hurt.

After opening MSWMM and import my project that the cursor movement will begin erraticaly i.e. movement one or two seconds after I try to point and the operation I required will take his time is erratic in the activation and the images are erratic when read.
A minute or two later everything "freezes". I had to 'Leave' to turn the computer off, wait one minute, then restart. It's so bad now, I had to stop using MSWMM, it's useless and a great disappointment to me. When I exit MM the cursor is always random for about 10 seconds. How is the mighty Microsoft Corp. cannot challenge these problems and let us get our projects?
All other times, the computer works fine. I have not downloaded anything to cause this problem. I've defragged, Spybotted Temp files deleted, disc error checked, tried different suggestions of Youtube, and restored hoping can solve it, no luck.

. MSWMM would be your Movie Maker project file if it is a
complex big project that you have been working on for a while it
can be to reach the limits of your system resources.Creation of several small projects is better than a large
project. If you save all of them in the movie .wmv format you
can import movie collected files and combine them into
one final film.Also... it may be interesting to try to install IE8... I remember
See the reports of users of Movie Maker who has
with IE7. Personally, I went straight from IE6 to IE8.

How to import MPEG-4 files in Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista?
Windows Media Player 11 recognizes and plays MPEG-4 great but WMM does not recognize them. I would like to import some MPEG-4 files in Movie Maker and work with them - is there a codec or something that allows this?
I'm sure I can find a software to convert to MP4 format that mm will recognize, but if possible, I would just skip the conversion step and work with MP4 directly in MM.
Thank you!

Does anyone have any suggestions? It keeps giving me an arror code saying something codec. What shoul I do... help
Hi napoleonfoo,
Did you follow the steps provided by John Inzer?
To better understand the issue, we need the following information:
(a) what is the exact error that you receive when you import video into windows movie maker?
(b) what is the file format of the video you are trying to import?
(c) means the video sharing with each drive that you use or simply with a particular player?
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?
See the link below for the file format supported.
Import video, images and audio in Windows Movie Maker
You can search online for the codec or convert the file into a format that windows movie maker can understand.
Note: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

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:

Impossible to import music files into wondows movie maker. Help!
Hi, im trying to import some .mp3 files in movie maker (with vista) and I get an error message saying that "it contains no valid audio data" and others that are important, I can't use as windows the song is more than 24 hours, when the song is actually 4 or 5 minutes. Why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hi r.achtel,
What is the format of the file that is having problems with the length of the song? This only happens with this specific file format?
Please provide the complete error message you receive.
Step 1: You can follow the procedure presented by John Inzer, MVP Saturday, August 8, 2009 17:50 in the link below:
Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) Scan
The System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.
You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:
(a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
(b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

Why do I get the error message "the file * *.wmv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer."

Hello
· What program did you use for recording to WMV file?
· Are you having similar problem when you try to import the WMV file, which is not recorded by this program?
Method 1:
Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists this kind of file. You will not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is supplied with Windows. In this case, you can re - encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio.
To download the Windows Media Encoder, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

Hi eragon787976,
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. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
