• Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

  Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

  I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

  the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

  So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

  =============================================
  The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
  because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
  files... always be available at the original location.

  Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
  all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
  Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
  You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
  establish the path.

• Windows Movie Maker "the file is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported."

  I downloaded a large .wmv file last night and have to divide into 8 smaller parts, but when I try to "import media" in Movie Maker is stipulates that "the file is protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported.

  Is it possible to import the file to edit?

  Turnbite removes the DRM http://download.cnet.com/Tunebite/3000-2140_4-10783040.html but I still don't know if it would work with Movie Maker (only because I haven't used products - looks like it would work, but I'm not sure).  Here is a review of version 6 (the current version is 7): http://mp3.about.com/od/audiotools/fr/Tunebite_6_Rev.htm.  Apparently, he's copying your DRM files and so it is required to have at least some degradation (but not a lot from what I've read - not noticeable).  Because it's free, it can't hurt to try it and see if it solves the problem.

  AVS looks like he got a number of good products http://www.avsmedia.com/, but I don't think that one of them address the DRM issue.  I really didn't listen to music or watch videos on my PC very often so I'm not familiar with the products to do such things.  May I suggest you post your question in the music and its Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistamedia/threads , where issues of music specialists will be more than happy to help you with your questions.   Or in the photos and video Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where the video specialists will be happy to help with you project of filmmaking.

  As for Shane Childs, I suspect that Karthik copied an answer, he used for this person to respond to your question and everything just forgot to change the username - just a typing error.

• Windows Movie Maker support files is a mod for editing?

  From: cilge

  Message: Hi I have a new PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. I also have a new camcorder JVC everio GZ MG 330. This has come with its own software for download from the camera, the mounting and so-called creation of DVD. I downloaded and edited my clips in a movie, but he refuses to burn to DVD. I'm hunting it upward with the people of software.

  But my question is, when I tried to use Movie Maker instead, IE to import clips and edit, the program crashed after you start the process. I understand that JVC used a file extension is a mod (a version of Mpeg2?), which apparently does not support Movie Maker. It matters to them OK, but then does not play.

  Microsoft plans to include an update to allow this 'new' type of file that will be used by Movie Maker? Or is there a method of conversion of the files of a more normal type. I can't get the software of JVC to save as avi or mpeg.

  This type of device seems to be popular right now so I can't be alone here, any assistance received with gratitude thank you

  De : PapaJohn

  check my website for film Source files > video > MOD page, they are MPEG2 files and need to be converted to something Movie Maker can handle.

• . MOV in Windows Movie Maker Live files does not work

  I just installed WMML since I thought that it would support the .mov files without having to convert them.  I can see the video in the Windows Live photo/video gallery, but not in WMML when I open it up to edit video. The screen is all black with no video or sound.   I have Vista.  We just got a new digital camera to improve our videos, but are sad that we cannot use this software because we love him.   Help, please!

  What is the brand and model of the new camera?

  Many systems have problems with the MOV files... especially

• Error file corrupted or incompatible, cannot import files MP3 to Windows Movie Maker.

  Original title: Amazon MP3 in Windows Movie Maker import problems.

  Still have Windows XP.  Bought and download MP3s on Amazon, but is unable to import into Windows Movie Maker.  Says file corrupt (all of them) or is not compatible (MP3 should be).  I tried to convert it to WAV and WMA - still will not work.  Get desperate.  I would be very happy any help you could provide.  Thanks in advance.

  Experienced same problem with Amazon MP3 downloads.  Could not bring to import into Movie Maker.  Read somewhere to convert WMA of the song, but couldn't find out how to do this.  I wanted to download 3rd party software.  Had already created the CD with the songs that I wanted to use mm.   Ripped from this CD for PC with Windows Media Player, which gives you option to change the format.  Changed the format to WMA format and then imported into Movie Maker.  After all, hope this time it helps you, too.

• Questions, import to iTunes Mp3 songs into Windows Movie Maker

  Original title: Windows movie maker, import the music from itunes

  So I did a movie and I'm trying to upload music to add to the movie. so, I've converted my songs in mp3 on itunes and try importing them and an error message appears saying iTunes\iTunes 1.mp3 Music\Minutemen\Double Nickels on the Dime\19 Corona could not be imported. then what should I do?

  Hi eragon787976,

  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Windows Movie Maker uses. WAV file formats and Apple's iTunes use it. AAC format.

  You can also try saving iTunes songs in the. WAV format instead of Mp3 format and check.

  Hello kekesala,

  Here is the link which contains the steps to perform a clean boot in Windows Vista and Windows 7:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  The link below includes a list of the types of supported files which can be imported into Windows Movie Maker.  You can try to convert the MP4 video to a Windows Movie Maker video file type supported and then try to create the project, or the film.

  Importing files into Windows Movie Maker: frequently asked questions

  If the problem persists when you try to create a new project with Windows Movie Maker and a video file type supported, try to run the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files and then check the issue. To do this, please see the link below:
