  RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge
  
  Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

  Excerpt:
  iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

  To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
  The description of its creator:
  MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

  Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

  Best thing: it's free.

  convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

  You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
  To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
  1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
  2. click on the button "import settings".
  3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
  4. click OK and go back to your music library
  5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
  6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
  7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
  8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
  9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
  10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library
  
  11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

  NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

  ============================================
  You have posted in a forum XP and 2.6 MM does not work on XP.

  What version of Windows are you using?

  In any case... Movie Maker 2.6 is not compatible with MP4 files.

  Best bet would be to convert MP4 for the WMV files
  format before you import into Movie Maker.

  There are to many converters available on the net...
  some free, some details... the following freeware is
  just an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)

  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)
  (* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
  may be a few items you want to unmark *)

  When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
  and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

  Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the
  your video files are saved in the folder.

  Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
  Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

  When video files are imported into Freemake,
  On the left, click the WMV icon at the bottom of the screen.

  The 'WMV output settings' screen opens.

  Choose a folder ' save in ', so you can find the

  On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files

  That should do it...

  . 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.

  I downloaded a large .wmv file last night and have to divide into 8 smaller parts, but when I try to "import media" in Movie Maker is stipulates that "the file is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported.

  Turnbite removes the DRM http://download.cnet.com/Tunebite/3000-2140_4-10783040.html but I still don't know if it would work with Movie Maker (only because I haven't used products - looks like it would work, but I'm not sure).  Here is a review of version 6 (the current version is 7): http://mp3.about.com/od/audiotools/fr/Tunebite_6_Rev.htm.  Apparently, he's copying your DRM files and so it is required to have at least some degradation (but not a lot from what I've read - not noticeable).  Because it's free, it can't hurt to try it and see if it solves the problem.

  AVS looks like he got a number of good products http://www.avsmedia.com/, but I don't think that one of them address the DRM issue.  I really didn't listen to music or watch videos on my PC very often so I'm not familiar with the products to do such things.  May I suggest you post your question in the music and its Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistamedia/threads , where issues of music specialists will be more than happy to help you with your questions.   Or in the photos and video Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where the video specialists will be happy to help with you project of filmmaking.

  Vista Movie Maker 6 came with your Vista operating system

  Movie Maker was included when you downloaded and installed
  Windows Live Essentials.

  The publication (economy) questions are probably caused by

  Several formats are apparently compatible with Movie Maker but

• Why can I play a WMV video that I created, but not import it into Windows Movie Maker?

  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." 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. "even if I CAN play the video in Windows Media Player?

  I have a Windows Media Video file I recorded using another program. I can open the video and watch it in Windows Media Player, but when I try to import into Windows Movie Maker (as I did with the other videos I recorded), I get a message saying that it cannot be imported "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. "I tried to close Windows Movie Maker and reopening, she even tried to restart my computer, but it still does not work.

  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:
