Windows Movie Maker plays audio only, from video files downloaded
(I see other, similar types of questions about my problem, but none that fits 'exactly'. So here we are...) Recently, I used the Roxio VHS to DVD software to capture movies at home at my computer. Files saved as .mpg files.
When I tried to use Windows Movie Maker to edit some clips at all, I couldn't see any video (only the audio was playing).
I used the 'compatibility', put options different filters turned off. but this does not work either.
What should I do to solve my problem (and subsequently, to play these videos)?

=====================================
Movie Maker has problems of compatibility with .mpg
conversion of files... files in .wmv format .mpg
before you import into Movie Maker may be your solution.
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)
First... after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)
Drag and drop your clips .mpg video on the
main screen...
Select "all to WMV" / OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...

I checked my files several times that are ok, but... .can not save my project. My system configurations are provided for in:
P - IV - 2.4 GHz processor

OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?
I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported." I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?
Hello spardigus,
1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?
Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.
It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.
Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.
I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.
You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

Hello
Frequently, I use Windows Movie Maker to edit videos of my friends... But WHENEVER I have to edit a video, and I play it back it ALWAYS freezes... Not the program, but the video Clip... And when I publish it, it freezes EVEN in the video as the preview... My ONLY solution is to keep cutting & removing parts of the video, but my videos are always less than 5 Minutes of time... Please HELP if you can... Thank U...
Oh, I already know about the Type of Format already... All my videos are 'WMV '... And besides that & "AVI", any other Type of video Format won't let you edit video, he would go to the Audio Section... But I checked my memory @ BobinSECO and my computer says it was good & right now to 4.0 GB (RAM)...

Windows Movie Maker will not publish my videos properly!
Hey guys. anyway I publish a video Director and 15 Minute long play through it fine, but after its publication, and I watch the video file it freezes at the same image (the media player does not freeze, he continues to play through, the video comes out badly) and all the audio stops and then the screen blacks on entirely for the rest of the video. Does anyone have a solution to this? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you

Windows Movie Maker will not show the video
I made a video in the movie player to windows, but every time I have save and play the video don't market not appear, but the fact of the audio. How can I make the video show?
Hi laura234646,
Did you check if the problem occurs with another drive?
This problem may be caused by audio\video filters present on the computer.
Step 1: I suggest that disable you video filters and driver, to do this, follow these steps:
Director of open windows,
1. click on Toolsand then click Options.
2. click on the compatibility tab.
3. to turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.
Now, check if the problem is resolved.
(See the section, what can I do if I have problems with video in Windows Movie Maker filters?)
If the problem persists,
Step 2: Reduce hardware acceleration to check
1. open display settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, on appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking display settings.
2. click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.
3. click on the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
4. reduce the hardware acceleration slider to zero.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Sims 2 was not properly installing its codec vp6vfw.dll film so I copy and pasted from Sims 1 CD in my windows > System 32. Now when I play the Sims 2 game I can make movies. They appear in Windows Media Player very well. But they do not visually show in Windows Movie Maker. I get sound. How can I fix Windows Movie Maker to display my Sims 2 movies?
I found the answer. Windows Movie Maker is no longer supported. The new version is Windows Live Movie Maker, and it has all the appropriate codecs. Download that and you're good!

Windows Movie Maker plays the slow song about 5-10 seconds
I have not used Movie Maker in about three months and it used to work properly. But I just started using it again and when I go somewhere in the middle of the video, I'm trying to make, securities and boot images in the right place, but the sound starts about 5-10 seconds too early. When I start from the beginning, everything is ok, but as it is a five-minute song, I don't want to start again whenever I need to add or change something. How can I fix? I tried to use different songs and I opened and closed Windows Movie Maker. Any help is appreciated.
How would I do that? I get my music from Itunes.

My Windows Movie Maker will not publish my video! Help!
Whenever I try and publish my video, about 19% through, it will say "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. "Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available, and that there is enough available disk space and then try again .
I tried everything that I could find-unchecking filters, reset, settings, shorten, taking the effects, transitions, and even download free audio and put it back later. Please help , I spent all day on this video.
It is 4 minutes and 18,62 megabytes.

Windows Movie Maker does not show the extire file
original title: VOB's with Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player.
Ok. I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape. There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long. I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube. I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos. When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it. I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension. I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG. Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41. He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV. I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker. I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well. I copied all the files on the DVD also. There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files. Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer. He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him. Any help would be great. Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video. So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total. After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video. All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it. Thanks for your good help.

Hey guys,.
I have been editing videos using Windows Movie Maker with great success, but I have recently installed the K-Lite Codec pack (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm)
and since then, Movie Maker will not load one of my projects.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the codecs but I feel I did something for the Movie Maker of the program itself, installing the codec pack, it came with a list of files it wanted to replace. As I obviously had no idea what I was doing, I just said yes to everything that was recommended. I don't know for the life of me exactly what files were etc however, it seems Director impact because now it does not load the project files.
It's such an embarrassment because I don't know what is happening and really need this problem as soon as POSSIBLE. Any help would be appreciated.
