Windows Movie Maker and the new format of MP4 file on digital camcorders

My new recordings of Samsung digital camcorder to the MP4 file format.  Even after I convert a wmv file, 4 of the 5 videos will not 'Save' or 'Release' in WMM.  Y at - it a new WMM version that will be important and 'save' the MP4 videos and not only the AVI (like my Flip pure digital camcorder)

==================================
No promises but perhaps Windows Live Movie Maker
worth to try:
http://download.live.com/MovieMaker

How did you convert the .mp4 files?

The following freeware might be worth a try:

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/

If this does not work, try Windows Media Encoder:

How to convert in .wmv .mp4
using Windows Media Encoder

Open Windows Media Encoder

On the screen of the new Session / Wizards tab...
choose... Convert a file / OK

On the file selection screen. Go to the
. MP4 source file you want to convert you...
Maybe to open files of type menu
window and choose... All files before...
see the .mp4 file.

Also, search for and select a folder record and
Enter a name for your converted file.
Save button / next

On the Distribution of content screen I usually
Choose "Archive file" / next / finish.

When you see the screen of "coding of the results.
the task is complete.

Good luck... John Inzer - MS - MVP - digital media experience

  • Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

    I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

    I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

    This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

    Thank you!

    NancyLouse,

    Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

    To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
    -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
    -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
    -Click on Folder Options, click view
    -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

    The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

    What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

    Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

    -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
    -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

    Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

    I hope this helps

  • Using Windows Movie Maker on the error message XP__ not indexed _ bad quality

    I use Windows Movie Maker XP (version 2.1?).  I've converted and imported a lot of videos.  I have a group of short videos recorded the same day.  I (with free STROKE) converted to AVI and they play with no audio and several play accelerated.  I've then diverted to ASF and some of them imported correctly.  Most of them gave me an error message that they were not indexed.  I downloaded several things to remedy this from online forums: I uninstalled K-Lite pack codec, Expression Encoder 4, WinDVR AVI, DivFix, lame and a number of things.  That's a family movie, I spent a lot of time on it.  If anyone can help with my old hardware and software configuration at this point I'd appreciate it.  The original film seems to be of much better quality than what I am able to import.  Thank you!

    The most reliable video format for Movie Maker is. WMV.
