Windows Movie Maker Green Bar

When I publish my movie in Windows Movie Maker, I have a large green bar on it that takes up half of the screen. I have looked everywhere for a solution to this and can't seem to find an answer. Every Web site I look I see someone recommend download xvid and click on the rendering engine of compatibility, but if I do that I just an error message and it doesn't change anything. My codec packs that I can see in windows movie maker are the decompressor AVI and DivX Decoder Filter, if I disable the DivX decoder filter it removes the bar... Green goal then I also can't see my video any longer. Really looking for a solution to this, any help that anyone could offer would be great.

When I try to publish in DV - AVI stalls editions to 10% and the estimated time so that it finishes just continues to go up.

==============================
This indicates that your project is too
complex or some of your source files are not
fully compatible with Movie Maker.

The following former article are still valid...

Movie Maker - problem solving-
"Can't save a movie."
http://www.Papajohn.org/MovieMaker-issues-CantSaveMovie.html

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

  • Windows Movie Maker: Small video and green screen

    I've been taking videos on Movie Maker for quite awhile and I've never had a problem until today. I've got this show that I have edited. The preview reading is perfectly fine and everything works normally and then I publish. Publication is going smoothly, but something must of happened between this amount of time, because the video is now scrunch all upward on the top (its dimensions are now all distorted to extend over the screen to halfway) and on the bottom half there is just a green screen. It occurs only after the publication. I tried to change an option that I use when publishing... did the same thing. Then I thought maybe it was some kind of title effect I used... it's not. I tried to delete all the effects on my thing and editing like that... This isn't the problem. The only thing that could be a problem, it's that it's a different file, then I usually use I think that... I had like a torrent file, but when I look, it works well and is not. So I do not understand... any suggestions?

  • Windows Movie Maker, after the problem - red and green

    When I change my movie with Windows Movie Maker preview is fine, but after the publication of the project, the film is red and green. What can I do to fix this?

    I solved this problem. But I think it was because of the video quality of my webcam. Director of Windows try to enhance the video at the time of publication. So that's my new problem. Can I update my webcam as well?

  • Why my films are released in the form of thin and green lines when working in Windows Movie Maker?

    When I change the video, everything seems fine. I can see the video, I can modify it. But when I publish it, it becomes a black screen with a thin, green line oriented horizontally or vertically, that it seems to vary.

    I tried redownloading Windows Movie Maker (the link is on my Hotmail page) and it did not help. It's actually when the line is vertical.

    The strange thing is the titles on video and audio actually appear very well. But I don't think it's my camera because the video plays very well before I publish it. So what the hell is happening?

    I use a Flip camcorder if that helps.

    Here's a video showing the problem. You can hear the sound and see the title wipe across the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guL_l-YOz8E

    Not sure if I have a few other Codec here or not, but I think I could.

    In any case, I realized the problem WITH WMM, I went and tried to save other ways and go with more parameters: DV - AVI (PAL) works!

    I've filmed some extracts and was save on my hard drive. The files are mpegs. When I play in Windows Media Player, they are very good.

    ======================================
    Movie Maker can have problems of compatibility with the MPEG files...
    might be interesting to try to convert the MPEG for the WMV files
    format before you import into Movie Maker.

    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... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' 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 "all to WMV" / OK...

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

    That should do it...

  • Windows Movie Maker problems Publishing a half green screen

    Everytime I try to publish a movie from Windows Movie Maker finshed product comes out with the bottom half of the greenery of the photo and only half scrambled upward.  Very frustrated.  Tried with MP3 music and not at all.  Nothing helps.

    I have no idea what a codec is and had to install Xvid.  But it worked great and was very very easy!  Thank you!  Happy Days!
