• Windows Movie Maker-how can I change the file format?

  It's my first time using Movie Maker, and I edited a song from my iTunes library. I want to save it in mp3 format, but when I saved it, it wouldn't let me choose the file format. I went to the post, and he published automatically as a video. I just want the audio.

  How can I save it in mp3 format?

  Also, how can I open with iTunes? I managed to do save as just audio and click Open with > iTunes. But he comes to open iTunes. The song won't play.

  PS Movie Maker is not for the recording of the songs, conversion of songs, etc. It is open with application.

  For files of music itumes, here are the choices...
  1. you need Quicktime or Real player to open and play.
  2. you can google for a free audio converter and convert your itumes songs in wma, mp3 or wav formats. Then, you can use Windows Media Player (NOT movie Maker) to play the songs.
  3. install a free media player called VLC. He plays almost all formats.

• Windows Movie Maker (Vista) stuck on 'check project files', does not and will not load past to halfway.

  Hey guys,.

  I have been editing videos using Windows Movie Maker with great success, but I have recently installed the K-Lite Codec pack (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm)

  and since then, Movie Maker will not load one of my projects.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled the codecs but I feel I did something for the Movie Maker of the program itself, installing the codec pack, it came with a list of files it wanted to replace. As I obviously had no idea what I was doing, I just said yes to everything that was recommended. I don't know for the life of me exactly what files were etc however, it seems Director impact because now it does not load the project files.

  It's such an embarrassment because I don't know what is happening and really need this problem as soon as POSSIBLE. Any help would be appreciated.

  Might be interesting to try to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.
  Options / compatibility... tab and uncheck all filters.

  If you still have questions... do a Safe Mode system restore
  at a time before installing the codec pack could be useful.

• Impossible to play a video file, error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

• Windows Movie Maker - Audio only, which plays in the exported project

  Hello.

  I did a project in windows movie maker with video and audio files. Project perfect cheek (the two audio/video playback) in windows movie maker when I am in the phase "creation/editing. When I export it and save the project as a. MP4 or. WMV file and try to play in Windows Media Player, Quicktime or VLC, as the audio of my theatre project. There is no video. However, when I play the other. MP4 files or. WMV files via these media players, they play very well. So I think that the problem is with the export of the Movie Maker project. Also, thinking that I have perhaps incompatible video files to Windows Movie Maker, I tried just using Jpeg files with audio to create a slide show, thinking that it would work with standard Habitat. Yet once, however, that the audio is played with a project containing pictures (no video). Any ideas?

  Audio was working fine, just no photos or video showing once the project has been saved as a movie. So, I tried your solution of creating a short slide show with photos only and no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled movie maker and still no luck. Downloaded the pack codek for windows 7 and still no luck.

  So, I decided to download the Vista windows movie maker for my OS to windows 7 and everything works like a charm. Don't know how or why, but the version of Vista is flawless on my windows 7.

  Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate the help.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

  Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.
