    =======================================
    Movie Maker has problems with the .mpg files... best bet would be
    to convert the .mpg files before importing the .wmv format.

    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

    See the following article:

    Windows live mail doesn't let me send or respond to emails immediately.  Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Almost all the time which is caused by a problem of email provider.  Please contact your provider to set up your account.  It is complex and requires exact accuracy.

    If it worked before, it may be a change took place in the required configuration.  Alternatively, it could be a problem on their web site of messaging.  Connect to their web mail and see if there is a problem.

    In General, e-mail providers like not produced as WLM because when you use it, you do not see advertising that they want to show you.  Thus, some e-mail providers are not particularly helpful when it comes to WLM.

    You can also Google accounts for this provider configuration and can find help there.  If you tell us who is your provider, we are able to be more helpful.

    1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
    2 have you installed third-party readers part?
    3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

    Step 2:

    Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  • Windows DVD Maker doesn't burn files .wmv/wlmp video high definition?

    Hey all,.

    Long time user WMM, but with the recent switch to Win7, I'm having a hard time with WLMM.  In short, create the movie in WLMM is a snap.  Burn a DVD quality is another story.

    I am using video clips high definition AVCHD from my new Sony CyberShot camera and showing the film on a Samsung 50 "720 p plasma.  If I burn a project WLMM created (Save Movie-> burn a DVD) and burn it in DVD maker, the quality is absolutely terrible on the plasma. It looks like an old VHS tape.  So, I guess the resolution 480 I saved is the problem.

    So, if I save the project with high-definition (720 p - 1280 x 720) in WLMM and try to extract this file in Windows DVD maker, I get the error "0 files have been added.  1 file could not be added.  The \xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx.wlmp file is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported. "How is it possible that Windows DVD maker cannot burn a file created by its sister product Windows Live Movie Maker?  Am I missing something here, trying to extract a file to DVD Maker WLMM, or is it not possible?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
