Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

• Window Movie Maker will import my .mpg file, but will not play audio.

  I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Vista and Live for many years and I've always been able to convert my files to .wmv with ease. My old computer recently crashed and I reinstalled the program and codec I had on my new machine.

  A week ago, I was import and conversion of some files to .mpg without problem what-so-ever, but when I import my .mpg files now, I receive one of the following scenarios:
  (1) ".mpg is an empty file." (2.6)
  (2) the video works fine, but there is no audio data. Yet, if I play in Windows Media Player or any other program, I get the audio without problem. (Vista and Live)
  (3) I also run Magix Movie Edit Pro 15, but when it exports to .wmv, the video is distorted / restless (even with the anti-flicker filter on).

  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs several times, went to the compatibility of the Menus and tried to post the video to see if the audio could have a defect in playback of the program, but without success.

• Windows Movie Maker has stopped play mpg videos

  Hi all

  I've been using Director windows for more than two years for my movie editing video canon. I always convert the canon film to video files .mpg, like this is done by one of the canon utility. After that, I import videos to movie maker window. All of a sudden I have seen I am unable to read the video portion. However, it plays the audio pat. It gives no error as well.

  Please let me know what could be the possible reasons for this problem and how to solve this problem.

  Best regards

  Gauri

• Project Windows Movie Maker won't play in Windows Media Player

  I created a 'film' in Windows Movie Maker - not a bad little program.  I used to be a professional video tape, and you can do things with Movie Maker and that you can't do with the edition of tape cassette - even in a television station in a big city.

  The film plays well in Movie Maker, but he won't play in Windows Media Player (Version 11).  I have Vista Home Version on my computer.

  I want to be able to send e-mail to friends and family who do not have Windows Movie Maker - but have Windows Media Player (not sure which versions have all my friends).  Until now, whenever I try to play the movie in Media Player, I get the following message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  When I click on the "get help from web" button, it takes me to this page:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6002.18111&ID=C00D1199&ContextId=83&OriginalID=80040265

  This page does not give me the solution to the problem and gives me no option to download/install the codec I need.  I don't know what a codec is and don't really care to know.    I just need to know:

  Should which codec I?

  Where can I download it?

  What are the two products of Microsoft.  Can they be compatible?  One of the options presented during "editing" the file is to be sent by e-mail.  Not much good if the e-mail recipient is unable to play.

  I can also play the movie using Real Player or I-Tunes - but it of okay for me if they work in these players or not, since my friends and family would be no players on their computers.

  Maybe you just save the project that creates a .mswmm file.
  This file is no longer usable in Movie Maker for re - editing purposes.

  Republish the project in the format of video .wmv and you

• Sometimes the clips in Windows Movie Maker will not play during preview and not at all after publication...

  Hello!  I just create a movie using Windows Movie Maker (HP Pavilion dv6000/Windows Vista Home Premium).  During the PREVIEW, the first part of the video of my film sometimes will not play (view) while the audio continues. Sometimes he will play (view).  All clips are saved in the right place, the file formats are correct, and everything else that I think is done correctly.  In addition, after the publication of the video, he did the same thing; some parts of the beginning is not playing (see) only the audio.  I believe that this can have started happening after a few times when an error message pops up saying something like "Video player has stopped responding, but has revived with success...» "or something like that.

  Now, I tried a few things to try to fix the problem.  I noticed that if I take the transitions and effects on the clips then they play but every time. I don't know why this happens only at the beginning of the movie and not all of the film since I also have clips with transitions and effects in the end.  Help!  This is my first time using this program/do a movie (and it's really good if I must say for me... he can win an Oscar! * smile *), but I wonder if I did something by mistake at the origin of this problem...

• Saving audio settings of Windows Movie Maker in the film project file

  I understand how to adjust the volume of my audio track, but when I save the file, in the sound adjustments are not saved.  Is there an extra step in the audio recording?

  Hi Gmamma,

  Try the two methods mentioned below if you don't him have not yet tried and check if it works.

  Method 1

  The audio settings by default in Windows Movie Maker is for the audio portion of imported video and any narration or music that you add to play at an equal level, but you can change that setting if it does not give you the balance that you want. To adjust the audio levels, follow these steps:

  (a) click Tools, and then click Audio levels.

  (b) do one of the following:

  to increase the level of audio on the Audio track that is part of a video clip, drag the slider toward Audio from video.

  II. to increase the level of audio that is located on the audio / music, drag the slider to Audio / Music.

  (c) click on close.

  Method 2

  Adjust the volume of each audio clip individually, as follows:

  1. on the track Audio or Audio / Music of the timeline, select the audio clip that you want to adjust the volume.

  2. click on Clip, point to Audio, and then click Volume.

  3. to adjust the volume, do one of the following:

  ·        To reduce the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the left.

  ·        To increase the volume, drag the Audio volume level slider to the right.

  ·        To cut the video, select the Mute clip check box.

  ·        To restore the volume to the original volume, click reset.

• Windows movie maker won't save or burn to a cd

  I worked for 3 days, set up a movie with pictures and sound. When I go to save on the computer or save it on a cd, he gives a status bar that never changes to 0% and below it is a counter that indicates the remaining minutes. This counter goes well to the top instead of the bottom. the film that I put in place was about 25 minutes and I left the pc 9 hours and the minute was contrary to 3 600 000 minutes go. It's very confusing because I then dropped. I ended up using a program called dazzle to record video, but is very unstable and guard lock up when setting up a video image. hope someone has an answer for me. I am running win XP

  ================================================
  There is a small chance that you may have better results if you
  record in DV - AVI format. I will paste the instructions below.

  Also, it may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility
  tab and disable ALL filters before attempting to save.

  If your music files are something other than WMA format.. .they pourraient
  be the problem...  MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker.

  Several formats are apparently compatible
  with different versions of Movie Maker
  but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp, jpg
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  Just some thoughts...

  This happens usually when the source files are
  not totally compatible and also may be linked
  transitions.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all
  the filters.

  Also you can try to convert your source files
  to different formats.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with

  Photos - bmp

  Music - wma, wav, wmv

  And you can try to remove the transitions.

• Windows Movie Maker won't let me publish my videos!

  When I 'publish on this computer' dialog box is and does is display "Estimating Time."... "no matter how long I leave it. does not, never the numbers on time. It does not have a file instead I specified, but it goes to a few bites and then stops. I have no idea why he would do that.

  Check the file formats that you had inserted in movie maker. You might have used files that are not supported by the Director.
  Photo: jpg, png, bmp
  For video: WMV, AVI
  Music: mp3, wav, wma

  Note: If you use google for formats of files supported by Windows Movie Maker, you will find that the list is much longer than what I've listed. This is because I find those on my list are the most reliable and you don't have to worry about not having the right codec for files.
