Windows Movie Maker has an upgrade that is compatible with MP4 video format?

Director of windows has an update that is compatible with MP4 video formats?

You posted in a forum of Win XP, so I guess
you run Movie Maker 2.1.

Several formats are apparently compatible with
Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv - avi
Audio - wav, wma, wmv

Best bet for your MP4 files would be to convert
to the. WMV format before3 import into Movie Maker.

There are to many converters available on the net...
the following links are some examples.

    I'm doing a library of DVDs of my son's football, but every time I try to use Movie Maker of Window I immediately or after I spent hours working get a message saying "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working" then it says windows contact me if they find a solution. No idea how I can prevent this?

    Hi Liska3,

    What operating system is installed on your computer?

    Windows Movie Maker comes pre-installed with Vista, and according to the guidelines of your error message, I would say that you have Vista.

    The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article addresses this issue. Please go through the suggestions.

  • Message "Windows movie maker has stopped working".

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker

    When you use Windows Movie Maker - the application generates the error message "Windows movie maker has stopped working" and close.  What happened several times.  What can I do to prevent this?  I use Windows 7 and Movie Maker 2011.

    Not sure, but have you tried to reinstall WLMM, or perhaps fix?

    See - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938275/en-gb and try the repair option first.

    Also, make sure that your graphics card and your PC sound card drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturers technical support for your PC brand and model site and see if there are newer drivers supported. If there is, and the repair does not help, try them. Make a restore point on your PC first, and if you like you should be able to "roll back" to your existing installation if you need to.

    You can also try a SFC/scannow to see if that detects and repairs problems of any OS if the above does not help.

  • Torrent video plays fine in Windows Media Player, but only audio in Windows Movie Maker?

    I downloaded a video torrent on my Windows Vista laptop. When I went to play in Windows Media Player, it works fine. However, when I try to play it on Windows Movie Maker, I can place only the file in the audio section / music, even if it is listed as a .avi file, when I import the file and drag it on the timeline. There is no red X or any sign of a problem with the actual file. When I go to preview, I get only a black screen, as expected when playing audio files. I checked super files supported for Windows Movie Maker, and .avi is supposed to be a supported video format.

    I've downloaded xvid on my computer and it is before I even started with torrents. I know that this translates to the game in Windows Media Player.

    I tried to download the same different torrents and I get the same problem each time a different torrent site, so I know that's not the real torrent.

    I went to tools > Options and unchecked the box I had, which was the AVI decompressor, and the problem persists.

    I don't want to convert the video file, unless it is absolutely necessary. If I need to download something, I will do, as long as you point me in the right direction.

    I ask this question because I see only problems with the .avi Windows Media Player files, and I want to edit the file to make a music video.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It turns out that the only way to solve my problem was to download Windows Movie Maker 2.6. Now, I can actually edit with ease and use the original .avi file without problem. I still don't know why I had so much trouble with the version that came with my laptop, but now it's the only solution that has actually produced results.

  • Error: 0 x 80280006 when installing Windows Movie Maker 2.6

    I still get and error message error: 0 x 80280006 when you try to install Windows Movie Maker 2.6. The information indicates that

    the codec has not been installed because the box options has not been verified before downloading program.  I have not yet found none

    options box.  I used Windows Movie Maker on Windows XP on a computer with a 32-bit system earlier, but have not been able to

    install on Windows 7 on this 64 bit laptop.

    Windows Movie maker 2.6, is NOT a "new and improved" program

    On the contrary, the 2.6 version is just a "watered-down" version It is used for some Vista computers that are unable to support its native version of 6.0 integrated which, in my opinion, is the best version of Windows Movie Maker.

    2.6 is compatible with Windows 7, but why waste your time when Win 7 can have Windows Live Movie Maker that is intended for Windows 7?

    Please don't waste your time at the 2.6version facility.

    Install Windows Live Essentials 2011 which includes Windows Live Movie Maker.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Windows-essentials

    Note: it is a Windows Live Essentials 2012 available, but I don't know if it's a "Beta" or a final version. I installed it and it seems fine.  WLE 2012 also includes Skydrive in the package.
