  ·         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:

  Boa noite Mr. Manasa!

  I'm really sorry that I have not gave an answer before.
  I have to admit that I already found my answer on the internet.
  The problem was the bitrate of my audio file that is not constant.
  I changed this file at a constant bit rate audio mp3 and it works beautifully.

  1. it's specific to this file Yes
  2. the audio file has been repeat auto
  3. it's an mp3, but the encoding was not constant

  That's it, I guess, thank you for responding!
  Hope this might help someone.

• Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes

  So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?

  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.

• Why is there no source audio into Windows Movie Maker

  When I decided to use windows movie maker again after 4 months latter. When I try to tell, he says "an unexpected error has occurred" and the Audio Input Source is missing. When I check to see if there were other Sources of entry there were not any and it was empty. The Audio device has shown. It also only allows me to post videos. It is said: check that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available and that there is enough available disk space and then try again. I use my Microsoft Lifecam V2000 and my VIA (WAVE). The Audio Input Source that I use usually is the stereo mixer. I downloaded Audacity and they both work very well.

  Hello

  1. What is the format of the video file that you use in Movie Maker?

  2. do you receive error messages when you try to play the video?

  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 use your favorite search engine and download third-party video editing software to convert the file.

  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.
