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.

  • 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.

    (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.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Problems with the implementation of the chronology of the railway imported into Windows Movie Maker

    Original title: problems with rails imported into Windows Movie Maker.

    I'm working on a project, and every time I import tracks, I can't place in the timeline because WMM has managed to turn them into securities that are long 9784 hours. I played against them on several different media players and they were all the lengths they are supposed to be, but once they are on WMM, they are totally foires.

    Is there a reason why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    Hi PixieNinjaReprise,

    1 have you downloaded the songs from any online store?

    2. is the song that is protected by digital rights management?

    Check the file format and see if this file format is supported by the Director.

    However, you can drag the song at the beginning of the time online click fade at the end of the song.

  • 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.

  • Sync audio/video Windows Movie Maker problem

    When you use Windows Movie Maker 5.1 to capture video from my Panasonic PV-GS39 DV camera, audio is 15 seconds ahead of the video.  Anyone know what is the cause or how to fix it?  No other programs are running at the time of the capture.

    Windows Movie Maker 5.1
    Windows XP Service Pack 3

    It is difficult to say why Windows Movie Maker would be to have this problem, but my recommendation would be to eliminate it from the video capture process. There is an excellent free program called WinDV you can use to capture video on your computer, then you can change using Windows Movie Maker, once the capture is complete. Video capture questions can be exasperating. Along with other instructions of troubleshooting, I explain why you might want to use WinDV in a tutorial on video troubleshooting.

  • Torrent video plays fine in Windows Media Player, but only audio in Windows Movie Maker?

    I downloaded a video torrent on my Windows Vista laptop. When I went to play in Windows Media Player, it works fine. However, when I try to play it on Windows Movie Maker, I can place only the file in the audio section / music, even if it is listed as a .avi file, when I import the file and drag it on the timeline. There is no red X or any sign of a problem with the actual file. When I go to preview, I get only a black screen, as expected when playing audio files. I checked super files supported for Windows Movie Maker, and .avi is supposed to be a supported video format.

    I've downloaded xvid on my computer and it is before I even started with torrents. I know that this translates to the game in Windows Media Player.

    I tried to download the same different torrents and I get the same problem each time a different torrent site, so I know that's not the real torrent.

    I went to tools > Options and unchecked the box I had, which was the AVI decompressor, and the problem persists.

    I don't want to convert the video file, unless it is absolutely necessary. If I need to download something, I will do, as long as you point me in the right direction.

    I ask this question because I see only problems with the .avi Windows Media Player files, and I want to edit the file to make a music video.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It turns out that the only way to solve my problem was to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6. Now, I can actually edit with ease and use the original .avi file without problem. I still don't know why I had so much trouble with the version that came with my laptop, but now it's the only solution that has actually produced results.
