• 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.

• 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.

  2 responses on itunes and Windows Media Player (WMP) are:

  RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge
  
  Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

  Excerpt:
  iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

  To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
  The description of its creator:
  MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

  Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

  Best thing: it's free.

  convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

  You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
  To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
  1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
  2. click on the button "import settings".
  3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
  4. click OK and go back to your music library
  5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
  6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
  7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
  8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
  9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
  10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library
  
  11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

  NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c
