• Windows Live Movie Maker is not recognizing my video files

  Video files are MOV which should be compatible with WLMM, but when I add them there is an error and the following message appears:

  "The file may be corrupted or in a format that Movie Maker does not recognize.
  This movie can be saved or published until (the video file name) is removed from the project.
  "Error: 0 x 80070057.

• Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  Error messages:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
  -Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  Recent changes to your problem:
  None

  What have you tried to solve the problem:
  Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  =============================================
  The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
  It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
  an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

  So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

  If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
  import into Movie Maker.

• Not able to get sound in video (.wmv) file when you import video clips (.m2ts) to video recorder Cannon using Windows Live Movie Maker

  Unable to get sound when you import video clips (.m2ts) Cannon for Windows Live Movie Maker video recorder or on the video file (.wmv).  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this can be done?

  Hi RichGraff,

  • You have sounds in the VCR of Canon?
  • Are you facing problem with this video or other videos as well?

  For now, I suggest to import the video clip in Windows Movie Maker, which is an application integrated into Windows Vista and check if you get its in.

• How to import or drag and drop photos into Windows Live Movie Maker?

  I'm unable to either import or drag and drop photos into Windows Live Movie Maker.  I just finished a movie and when I try to open a new project, I click on "Add photos and video", taking me to 'my pictures', but when I try to open him "add photos and video", the "file name" has so much history, it doesn't allow me to click on the location of my file.  How can I get rid of this story?  The first film was so easy, but this new project has been up to this impossible after about 7 hours of attempts.  Help, please!

  Hi Anniebp2,

  I think perhaps the best next step after all your efforts of trying to fix the program.  For this, since it is part of the Windows Essentials pack, you can go to the page Windows Essentials and re - download and re-install the package, which will update and fix the movie maker if necessary. I hope that this solves the problem for you. Please let me know how it goes.

  =====================================
  First of all, I have to ask what is the Format (extension) of your
  saved file. If the extension WLMP... it's a project file
  and not a video file. If you have saved it as a video in the
  . Format WMV Movie... the following information may be useful:

  If the file size is too large for e-mail... you could download
  the file to a site as follows and then send it
  link to download to your recipients.

  "SendSpace.
  http://www.sendspace.com/

  It's very simple on SendSpace site the following...
  the steps are all you need to do.

  On the left, click on the Browse button and it will open a window
  allows you to access the files on your hard drive.

  Navigate to the folder that your video is and select it.

  On the left, click on the download button.

  When the download link appears... left click copy
  button, then click right and paste the link in an email
  message to your recipients.

  Recipients can download the video file as follows.

  On the left, click the link in the e-mail message.

  When the SendSpace site load.

  Scroll down a little and left, click on the blue text *.

  "Click here to start the download from sendspace".

  Save the file to your desktop and view in Windows Media Player.
