• Windows Movie Maker - file invalid / not found

  I made a movie a few weeks previously registered, get in there a few days later and made more copies. Today, I tried again and I keep getting a message that the file is not valid. I tried opening upward in the creation of DVD and it keeps saying that it has failed. I tried the suggestion of unlicking the box under the sign that says (hide extensions of known file types) - which didn't work. I tried opening the film again and all my imported data is there... just not the movie itself...

  Help, please!

  Yes, it's the same information I read in other forums. I closed the movie maker and tried to reopen the case. I always get an error message that is not valid. I can't find any other file that does not end in MSWMM. After that I closed the error message. All data are available in the media imported section, but the Council of the timeline or history is completely empty / blank - but I know that he was saved several times...

  If the film itself has disappeared... is there a way I can get it back?

  ===========================================
  If you cannot open the MSWMM file in Movie Maker file must
  be damaged. Best bet would be to recreate the project.

  As for the movie... unless you have published (saved) project in the
  Film WMV or AVI format... it was never a real movie file.
  (this would be a clip that would play in Windows Media Player
  and could be shared with others)

• Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive

  Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER?  I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?

  Hi BrookeMcCulley,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs.  You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.

  You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.

• Windows Movie Maker error, another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer.

  When I try to open A Windows Movie Maker file, as I did, it appears an error box and wrote "another user running Windows Movie Maker on this computer.

• Vista Windows Movie Maker gives message "doesn't fit" releasing on DVD.

  Vista Windows Movie Maker gives an error "does not fit" when I try to publish my movie to a DVD (12 minutes too long). I removed half of the clips in the storyboard table and I still get the same error. The length of the film remains 02:42.

  If your burner is compatible... a double layer 8.5 GB DVD blank may be worth a try.
  (failure is a real possibility... make a video 02:42 is more than most systems)
  can handle)

  After the removal of the files in the storyboard table did you resave the project before embarking
  DVD Maker?

  The following older maybe offer some ideas on reducing the size of the project.

  Movie Maker - how to divide a project complex smaller?
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/MovieMaker/SplitComplexProject.htm

  In many cases not most of the large case projects / complex problems.
  Creation of several small projects and recording each in the. Film WMV
  format in a folder on your hard disk may be the answer. Then you can import
  the collection of. WMV to DVD Maker files and each clip becomes a scene
  (Chapter) you have to have up to 18 scenes.

• Windows Movie Maker - music is not playing little matter what I do

  I'm making a movie for my best friend for her birthday. I'm trying to use some of our favorite songs as background music. I'm going to and upload music and it is important, but when I put it in the movie and I play it, no music plays. I know that the film plays because my images in the film show the way they are supposed to. The volume on my computer is in place, and I went through all the audio levels and volume. I went upstairs, hit the clip and have a level of hihgh audio in the editing mode, I hit chronology and went to sound levels, and it is up. I even checked the properties of the songs I am trying to use, and they present themselves as a .mp3. When I went on google and other things to see what could be the problem, a page said that even if the music is in .mp3 form and other forms that work with Windows Movie Maker, they can simply not work. However, some of the songs I am using, I have used in other films I've done, and they do not work yet. So I don't understand what the problem is, and I've checked everything. Is there something that I don't check? Help, please! I really need to solve this problem, because I use movie maker for both school projects, and this movie would be amazing as a birthday gift.

  Hi monkeygurlsurfs,

  If you get the sound from your pc in other programs, the problem is not hardware. Did you of updates or Windows updates or any software installed since the last time that your audio worked? Usually, if the audio doesn't work, is it a device driver conflict. Make sure you have the updated driver for your sound card from the manufacturer's website. Also, check your device manager to see if the audio device appears normal (no yellow exclamation point). You can try to perform a check of the filesystem (CFS) to see if there are any corrupt files that Windows can correct:

  The System File Checker tool:

  To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1 click on Start -> click on all programs -> click on Accessories -> - click on command prompt, Select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow .

  3. when the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Try these procedures and let us know how you do. If you're still having problems, we will be happy to help you further.

  Movie Maker project files do not include your source files...
  photos, video clips, music files, etc... When these files are
  moved, renamed, deleted or is otherwise not available...
  you will see red Xs in Movie Maker. If files are always
