Windows Movie Maker Codec error?

Hello
recently, I switched from windows xp to windows vista. I got nothing else problems with windows movie maker now. I downloaded 3 different clips from my digital camera to edit, and I get this message.

"The C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Kodak Pictures\3-1-2010\100_0064.mov file 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. »

I downloaded Windows Movie maker again and updated as well as all my products and windows of windows media player.
I also downloaded the download from the windows codec supports the download page, it downloaded then said that it was not compatible with my software.
(I looked upwards of codec for windows vista & downloaded. Then I get a notice that its only for windows 2007 and windows xp, but it said on the site windows vista!)
also, I rebooted and waited 72 hours without change.
I downloaded my software of kodiak and the fotage plays perfectly there but not anywhere else!

I read some other reviews and they have not helped either, im so frustrated!
Please help as soon as you can!

MOV files are not compatible with Movie Maker.

Might be worth trying to convert .mov files
format .wmv before import into Movie Maker.

The following freeware can convert:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
all the boxes on the last screen)

After downloading and installing Format Factory...
Open the program and choose an output folder...
(this is where you will find your files when they are
converted)

Drag and drop your clips video .mov on the
main screen...

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

That should do it...

  • 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:

    I hope this information is useful.

  • Windows Movie Maker-hardware error?

    While trying to save/burn a movie on Windows Movie Maker project, I worked, I got the following error message:

    "Windows Movie Maker can not be used because the required audio hardware is not found on your computer."

    Please help, its a long time that I've used WMM, but I used many times before and would be eaten: lose my project, thank you.

    It could be a codec/filter disabled, or inconsistent. In Movie Maker-> tools-> Options-> tab compatibility-> filters, see if your audio filters are checked (all others must be verified), if you haven't put the brakes on their topic.  If all are already checked, click on the "Restore all defaults" button. Other filters will be disabled, you may still need those disabled to run other programs installed them. Enable disabled filter a while then check that filter out the origin of the problem.

    If this does not work, it may be more of a need to get an extra codec rather than switch off. You can use the encoded Xvid or Divx files you need codecs. Make a search for K-Lite, DivX and XviD codecs and install them.

    I hope I could help

  • 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.

    No guarantee... but the following freeware converter
    may be worth a try:

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag

    Well, I was very happy when the program doesn't stop after following your advice and unchecking above named filter. But then, after it scans the file (which is a progress!), he says he cannot continue because one or more of the files contains a codec that is not supported by AutoMovie. I don't even know what a codec IS. I know who was Kojak, and I know what is Kotex, but what the heck is a codec and how do I get one?

    Thank you!

    ==================================
    Maybe the following article offers some ideas:

    "What exactly is"Codec"and why would I ever need it?
    http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/multimedia/f/codec.htm

    It is difficult to know what codec, you may need to because it
    is based on the format of your source files. And it is possible
    You may have some compatibility issues with one or more
    source files.

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

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

    It may be interesting to try to download and install a codec pack...

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)
