Windows Movie Maker do not accept avi files

I downloaded Windows Movie Maker 2.6, because it is compatible with Windows 7. This worked perfectly first freezing then began after a while. When I tried to work on a video recently, nothing would download to my collections audio tracks but when I tried to download avi files. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but also to repair but nothing works. I struggled with the program for a week. Can I do to solve this problem?

There are many types of files .avi and many if not most
have problems of compatibility with Movie Maker.

Which version of Win 7 are you running?

I was wondering why you use Movie Maker 2.6
instead of Windows Live Movie Maker?

What is the duration of these .avi files? (large complex
projects can cause siiues)

Have you tried to convert the .avi files to .wmv format
before you import into Movie Maker?

In Movie Maker... it may be worth trying to go to... Tools /.
Options / Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

Failure to improve the question... go to Tools / Options /.
Left and the Compatibility tab, click on the 'all the default settings.
button.

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Windows Movie Maker does not show the extire file

    original title: VOB's with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.

    Ok.  I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape.  There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long.  I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube.  I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos.  When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it.  I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension.  I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG.  Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41.  He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV.  I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker.  I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well.  I copied all the files on the DVD also.  There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files.  Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer.  He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him.  Any help would be great.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the info.  I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video.  So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total.  After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video.  All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it.  Thanks for your good help.

  • Window Movie Maker will import my .mpg file, but will not play audio.

    I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Vista and Live for many years and I've always been able to convert my files to .wmv with ease. My old computer recently crashed and I reinstalled the program and codec I had on my new machine.

    A week ago, I was import and conversion of some files to .mpg without problem what-so-ever, but when I import my .mpg files now, I receive one of the following scenarios:
    (1) ".mpg is an empty file." (2.6)
    (2) the video works fine, but there is no audio data. Yet, if I play in Windows Media Player or any other program, I get the audio without problem. (Vista and Live)
    (3) I also run Magix Movie Edit Pro 15, but when it exports to .wmv, the video is distorted / restless (even with the anti-flicker filter on).

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs several times, went to the compatibility of the Menus and tried to post the video to see if the audio could have a defect in playback of the program, but without success.

  • Windows Movie Maker will not publish my movie on my computer

    I tried to post this video to my computer from Windows Movie Maker. The video is long, only 42 seconds, so I doubt that there is a problem of length.

    When I try to publish the video, a dialog box appears and says "Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough available disk space, and then try again. »

    I've checked everything and nothing seems wrong or irrelevant. I had to completely wipe my computer about two days due to the 'Blue screen of death' experience, but I was able to install any new drivers and restore my computer to its factory settings. I don't know what to do. Help, please!

    More than likely you are using one or more sources
    files that are not completely compatible with Movie maker.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with film
    Machine, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp

  • Windows Movie Maker will not publish my movie - gets 6% & goes no further

    I recorded a movie and brought it into Windows Movie Maker without problems.  Then I edited the film (not to add anything or only pruned and spliced).  Now, I want to save the movie as a movie.  However when I do it, he won't get to 6% and then if freezes.  It won't convert everything yet, I even left it at night to convert (made sure my computer has not turned off the coast) and he did not always get from 6 percent.  Is there another way to change to the film of a project that I can run on a computer as a movie?  Or do you have a solution to get movie maker to work?   -Thank you

    I have exactly the same problem.  I imported the file as a wmv file, originally created by Gotowebinar.  I was able to edit and cut the file, but when I try to record on my computer, sometimes at 1% ^ and freezes.  I've updated all my drivers and still no improvement.  I use WMM 2.6, so there must be another problem of compatibility.
