• Why can't I import mp3 files to windows movie maker?

  I get an error message "Cannot C:\Users\Paul\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Victor Johnson\Fire security Songs\03 Smokey the Bear.mp3 imported." frequently when you try to import tracks .mp3 to my Windows Movie Maker files. It doesn't make a difference if I buy these titles on Amazon or iTunes, or does it make a difference if I create an .mp3 version in iTunes until I try the import. Other titles will not simply import.
  What should I do to get these files to import?

• Cannot import mp3 files in Windows Movie Maker 6 under Vista. Error ".mp3 could not be imported.

  Original title: Impossible to import the mp3 downloads in Windows Movie Maker Version 6: circle of the keeps popping up saying that... with a red and white X: Music\Amazon MP3\LMFAO\Party Rock (Amazon MP3 Exclusive Version) [Explicit] \09 - hits [Explicit] .mp3 could not be imported.

  Currently, I did a video using Windows Movie Maker Version 6. I downloaded several downloads mp3 audio and have only been able to import a couple of them in Windows Movie Maker. I downloaded three downloads of specific music that will not matter. The box that opens is not give me a code or something that it either just States the following: C:\Users\b-radd\Music\Amazon MP3\LMFAO\Party Rock (Amazon MP3 Exclusive Version) [Explicit] \09 - hits [Explicit] .mp3 would not be imported.

  I have no explanation, and it makes no sense that I can download some but not all mp3 downloads. What can I do to be importable download music in Windows Movie Maker? or import music that I already paid for and tried to import?

  Hello, guenoun.

  I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.

  The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

  If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

  Windows Movie Maker is no longer included in Windows 7. Be sure to check the Windows Live Movie Maker beta available at http://download.live.com/moviemaker.

• Import of music in Microsoft Movie Maker

  I am trying to import my iTunes music bought list of songs for use in a Windows Movie Maker video.  How can I do this?  I can see where I can import songs that iTunes allows me to access.  But what of my personal list of the purchased songs?  Do I have to convert the file type?  I am a total novice, so I have no idea how to do that.

  Hi Lynette

  I think that you may need to convert iTunes purchases to mp3 format for use in MM... I remember well iTunes offers like M4A files. (I hope that someone will say otherwise if I'm wrong!)

  I assume that you have "iTunes for Windows", already installed on your Windows pc, in which case you can create an mp3 version here. Confirm, and I'll come back tomorrow and show you how... (I'm just sign off for tonight) Cordially-R.

• Import the playlist music to Windows Movie Maker.

  Original title: import music from my Playlist.

  I tried to import the music from my playlist (which is on my desk) to windows movie maker, but sometimes it does not support the file.  Any ideas anyone.  I'm stuck - solid, have tried repeatedly, lift the import file, click the playlist, but it does not work?  HELP thank you

  Go to your my music folder and import
  the files in Movie Maker from here.

  ... Files formats are also important because some
  are not compatible with Movie Maker.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

• Adding my own music to Windows Movie Maker projects & computers mi change project.

  I used Windows Movie Maker to make two DVDs for the graduation of daughter gifts.  I was almost done and tried to add my own music but can't seem to figure out how.  In addition, I discovered that my disc on my computer was not working so I saved my projects to a USB key and went to another computer.  When I opened the project format and title pages were there, but all the photos that I spent hours to download and organize projects disappeared.  How can I get my projects into DVD, and how do I add my own music in them?  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'm short on time.

  The Movie Maker project file does not include the source files
  (Photos, video clips, music videos) it simply records the path
  the files have been imported since the file/s.

  Whan you see red Xs where thumbnails used to be
  in Movie Maker, it indicates the original source files have
  been deleted, moved, renamed or is otherwise not available.

  If you had a backup file of all source files on your new
  system, you can right-click on the red Xs and get access to the
  location of the files and restore the path, otherwise
  you will have ot start again.

  With regard to the addition of your own music... If you have any questions
  import music files it is probably a problem of format.
  Convert music clips on the. WMA format before
  import into Movie Maker should provide a better result.

  There are many converters available on the net... the

  DVD files you need for editing are the

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to

• 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:

• Importing large .wmv in Windows Movie Maker

  Hello

  It doesn't seem to be any major problem with the Windows Movie Maker program, because it is play other videos that I'm importing.  It can't import video that I converted from .mov to .wmv using Winff to 1 h.

  Last night he just repeated does not...  Today it says that it cannot import the video [.wmv].

  There is no problem with the .wmv because it plays fine in Windows Media Player.  There is no problem with the original video is.  I think the video is just too long or something.

  It's very frustrating... currently .avi conversion for the heck of it, hoping that it will be important that.
