====================================
Maybe the format of the video file is not supported
in MM2.6. Convert the file to the. WMV format
before you import into MM2.6 may be the solution.
There are to many converters available on the net...
Some are free, some details... the following freeware
is but one example:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
Freemake Free Video Converter (freeware)
http://www.Freemake.com/free_video_converter/
(Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8)
(* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
may be a few items you want to unmark *)
(You can ignore the giant green button 'Install' on)
the main screen... it should disappear when you
Import your video files)
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
converted files.
On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files

That should do it...

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:
