Windows Movie Maker Version sold with Vista and 2.6

I'm trying to import and create my own video from a disc that I got from my son's football coach. It seems that the video format is *.vob or another type of file that is not supported by Windows Video Maker. Is it possible to get the videographer can read this type of file or change the file type to be. WMV or something WVM supports?

=========================================
VOB are the video files to a DVD-video... (they have all of them).

First... I suggest you copy the VOB files to a folder on your
hard drive. (If you cannot copy the VOB files... successfully the)
DVD may have copy protection)

If you are under Vista Home Premium or Ultimate... try to import
VOB in Movie Maker files because they are... If this does not work... rename
they .mpg and try again...

If it still fails, you will need to convert the files to WMV format.
There are many converters available on the net... the following
Freeware is just an example:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Format Factory
http://www.pcfreetime.com/
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
(FWIW... installation..., you might want to
Uncheck all of the 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 VOB files on the main screen...

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

That should do it...

  • Problem with the sync audio to video when you use Windows Movie Maker version 6.0

    I have a HP Slimline Pavillion S.3220.uk PC, using Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I have problems with the audio video synchronization when using Windows Movie Maker, version 6.0, I 'get' raw AVCHD files to .wmv using voltaic HD.  I've noticed that the audio and video are out of sync, ONLY after the first thumbnail.  No indirect problem with videos, but when people talk to the camera, in case of DISASTER, as he is out of sync. I tried to reduce the resolution of 720 p and 540 p, and no solution to the problem. Any thoughts on the matter please?

    Hi Fabian119,

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

    There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player (for example, a file compressed with the DivX video codec or the Ogg Vorbis audio codec). Because the player is extensible, in many cases you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee.

    You can visit the following links for more information on codecs:

  • Movie Maker Version 6 on Vista Ultimate does not accept HD clips

    I have Windows Movie Maker Version 6, which came with Vista Ultimate. My camera is an AVCHD, Sony HDR-CX500 model. It's movies high definition have the extention name .m2ts, for example "movie.m2ts". My Movie Maker program recognizes these movie files not high definition, although Version 6 comes with Vista Ultimate is supposed to accept and work with HD video. Why not? I have to download another version of Windows Movie Maker to match my camera? Where can I download this version 'HD' in Movie Maker? Sony offers a program called PMB that allows to convert his films in high definition WMV files. These WMV files are of course recognized by Windows Movie Maker version 6 and we can make a film edited. But the edited film is of inferior quality, certainly not a HD movie. No solution to my problem?

    Hi ecbritz,

  • Windows Movie Maker (version 2.1) does not open my .mswmm project.

    The WMM gives the error message "stopping" whenever I try to open this project.  I have Windows XP.  My project was started about 18 months ago, and I believe that WMM has been automatically updated since then.  I thought that an older project could be opened in a new version of WMM, although a more recent project could not be opened in a previous version.  I'd really like to reopen this project in order to complete and save, because I spent a lot of time to compile.  Would appreciate any help that can be given.  Thank you

    Hi ElisabethLee,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. are you able to create and save a new project using Windows movie maker files?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP uses video and audio filters when you import, preview and record movies.

    I suggest that you turn off the video and audio filters in Windows movie maker and check if it works.

    To change the video filter settings

    (a) click on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the compatibility tab.

    (b) in the list of video filters, you can enable or disable a filter by selecting or clearing the check box.

    Change the video filter settings

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-XP/help/MovieMaker/change-video-filter-settings

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

  • 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?

  • My saved Windows Movie Maker Project open with video clips in the Audio editing panel and vice versa (NOT as it was created). Can I move them back where they belong?

    After days of the creation of a filmmaker 'project' I 'saved project' one last time, then reopen and publish a movie.  All my video Clips (phtotos) now appear in the Audio editing / music along the bottom with only a video clip standing in line of the video of this 'slide show' of 90 minutes.  Is it possible to move these clips to which they belong without having to recreate the whole project?

    What happens if you try to read the project in Movie Maker?

    Looks like your project .mswmm file is corrupt (starting
    Perhaps more than the best approach). The project can be as far
    too big and too complex to publish (save) with success as a
    video file.

    I suggest that you create several small projects
    and publish (save), each of them in the. WMV video format
    and then re-import the collection. To combine WMV files
    in a single movie.

    You can also import collection. Clips WMV to DVD
    Manufacturer and each clip, would have become a scene (chapter)
    on the DVD.

  • Have used Windows Movie Maker very well for months and now it stops just to work

    OK, so I had a recent problem with Movie Maker. How original is that? For months and months I used it with only minor headaches. But I can't understand it and I spent hours to friction on this problem and the search for something. All Google tell me is to make sure that my files are in a format that is accepted! Duh! I use them very well until about a month ago.

    After months of works very well, many of my clips imported media (especially. AVI and others. WMV) has decided to stop working one day. The video will not play, but the sound is very good. I re-imported the videos just to be sure, but no luck... He would not even show a thumbnail after I imported the.

    Original title: what is the problem with WMM? Help, please!
    I tried to look at the files in Media Player and got a black screen with audio complete.
    I reformatted the. AVI files (using zamzar.com) in. Format WMV, but when I tried to import those, he would give me some nonsense. In any case, I tried to defrag my drive hard as someone suggested online (I have an old computer anyway) but I don't really think it helped.
    It could be a codec problem (I don't know what would have prompted such), the Enigma is that SOME of my clips will play in the preview, but they stop working as soon as I drag them on the timeline. And I found one. WMV file in one of my old projects that will play in the panel mounting.
    I even tried to save an unfinished project to my computer (16:9 aspect ratio, high quality NTSC). But I got an error message: "WMM cannot be saved 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. "So I tried to save the recommended"best suited"on a blank CD and it always gave me this message
    I hope this info helps (I don't know what most of it means):
