Windows Movie Maker error - interface has too many methods to fire events from

I get this error when I try to import video into Windows Movie Maker.

"D:\profile.cu\Desktop\Live\10_1_11 Outside\july 032. AVI could not be imported. "An interface has too many methods to fire events from.

What it means?

Hi Joe Frick,

  1. You receive a similar error message when you import .avi files in Windows movie maker?
  2. Are you able to import other types of files in Windows movie maker?
  3. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  4. Where you import video into Windows movie maker?

I suggest that you try to import other files in Windows movie maker avi video and also check if you import another file format in Windows movie maker.

    =======================================
    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:

    http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-importing-video-MPEG2.html

    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... 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 video clips on the main screen...

    Select "At?" / OK...
    (the? is the format of your choice)

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

    That should do it...

    I'm trying to insert a 186 MB video into a website that accepts only videos of 2 MB.  Is it possible to do this somehow?

    The error you mention usually appears when you use

    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import.

  • Windows movie maker error "codec to play the file is not installed on your computer."

    Windows media player

    I get the following error message when you try to add music to a slide show in windows movie maker... The 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.  How do I find the codec file and how can I install it?

    There is more than probably a compatibility problem wiith
    the file format music.

    Try to convert the music file to the. WMA format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    Thanks for the reply... This is version 6.0.

    1. Please make sure the files that you have imported into movie maker are formats supported by the Director.
    Use jpg, png or bmp format for images/photos...
    Video clips for... .use WMV (some would say that you are a little more. I use nothing but WMV formats)

    If these icons are on the desktop...

    1. very easy step-left click on the desktop (not on an icon) and then press the F5 key

    2. If the #1 did not help...

    Right-click on the desktop > Personalize > display > display settings > avancΘs > monitor > colors. Change the colors of another value - for example. 32-bit to 16-bit. So yes you want to keep these settings, click on apply. Back to monitor > colors and return to the original (probably 32-bit) value

    That solve the problem of the icon?
