• How do you get the necessary codecs to AVI on Windows Movie Maker files to run?

  I tried to open an AVI video file on Windows Movie Maker for the first time, and he said was: "the file cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. »

  -What this means and how I can get the codec?

  Help, please!

  You must use an application like MediaInfo to identify the missing codec and then download the one you need. MediaInfo can analyze the video file and provide a link to download the appropriate codec. Here are some additional details on How to solve the problems of codec with MediaInfo.

• 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.

  Hello, guenoun.

  I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.

  The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

  If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

• Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

  I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

  I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

  This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

  Thank you!

  NancyLouse,

  Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

  To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
  -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
  -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
  -Click on Folder Options, click view
  -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

  The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

  What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

  Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

  -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
  -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

  Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

  I hope this helps

• After you import the MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker, the system hangs

  MSWMM FREEZES (what a surprise)

  After opening MSWMM and import my project that the cursor movement will begin erraticaly i.e. movement one or two seconds after I try to point and the operation I required will take his time is erratic in the activation and the images are erratic when read.
  A minute or two later everything "freezes". I had to 'Leave' to turn the computer off, wait one minute, then restart. It's so bad now, I had to stop using MSWMM, it's useless and a great disappointment to me. When I exit MM the cursor is always random for about 10 seconds. How is the mighty Microsoft Corp. cannot challenge these problems and let us get our projects?
  All other times, the computer works fine. I have not downloaded anything to cause this problem. I've defragged, Spybotted Temp files deleted, disc error checked, tried different suggestions of Youtube, and restored hoping can solve it, no luck.
  I run WINDOWS XP, 128 processor ATHLON, 56 k MODEM, 1.5 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD, IE7, Service Pack 3.I have made 10 videos previously and had a bad light with MM before but he managed to cope, now that's too bad. So, does anyone have helpful suggestions to what I can do to fix this problem so I can continue with my projects, please?

  =======================================
  . MSWMM would be your Movie Maker project file if it is a
  complex big project that you have been working on for a while it
  can be to reach the limits of your system resources.

  Creation of several small projects is better than a large
  project. If you save all of them in the movie .wmv format you
  can import movie collected files and combine them into
  one final film.

  Also... it may be interesting to try to install IE8... I remember
  See the reports of users of Movie Maker who has
  with IE7. Personally, I went straight from IE6 to IE8.

• Impossible to import a clip in Windows Live movie maker or regular Windows movie maker avi video

  Original title: Director of windows

  I can't import a clip avi video in windows movie maker direct or regular windows movie maker. Only the audio comes through. If I have the video edited and produced in other video software, such as cyberlinkthen the video and audio will come by for me to change. I am able to import it into windows movie maker. I use vista 64-bit. What should I do to make this work? Do I need a special codec? I use a hp pavilion p6140f computer

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  1. This only happens with a particular file type?

  This seems to be a codec problem. Some files supported by Windows movie maker again you will need to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

  You can use your favorite search engine to download and install a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by 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 2, 6-How do I change the length of time of the image

  Easily change the time

  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 can I change the duration of an image easily without leaving the storyboard / timeline? It takes too long to delete images and report them to the timeline/storyboard. If possible it is possible to easily select all the images I want currently on my slideshow and you change the length of time from there?

If possible it is possible to easily select all the images I want currently on my slideshow and you change the length of time from there?

  ================================
  The change of setting to: Tools / Options /.

  If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
  all of the clips as a batch (select one and the type...
  CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
  or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
  duration. Simply select all clips / right click
  the effect on the menu... Choose...
  Add to storyboard table.

  'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

  "Slow Down, half ' double life.

  These effects can be added up to six times.

  If you need finer adjustment...
  the info may be useful:

  You can change the duration for each clip
  manually. Move your pointer autour the
  edge of an element until you see a double red
  arrow. Now, drag the double red arrow...
  you will see if show a ToolTip displays the duration
  train to change.

  Or... just to redo the project after changing
  the long-term: Tools / Options / Advanced

• Windows Movie Maker - file invalid / not found

  I made a movie a few weeks previously registered, get in there a few days later and made more copies. Today, I tried again and I keep getting a message that the file is not valid. I tried opening upward in the creation of DVD and it keeps saying that it has failed. I tried the suggestion of unlicking the box under the sign that says (hide extensions of known file types) - which didn't work. I tried opening the film again and all my imported data is there... just not the movie itself...

  Help, please!

  Yes, it's the same information I read in other forums. I closed the movie maker and tried to reopen the case. I always get an error message that is not valid. I can't find any other file that does not end in MSWMM. After that I closed the error message. All data are available in the media imported section, but the Council of the timeline or history is completely empty / blank - but I know that he was saved several times...

  If the film itself has disappeared... is there a way I can get it back?

  ===========================================
  If you cannot open the MSWMM file in Movie Maker file must
  be damaged. Best bet would be to recreate the project.

  As for the movie... unless you have published (saved) project in the
  Film WMV or AVI format... it was never a real movie file.
  (this would be a clip that would play in Windows Media Player
  and could be shared with others)

• Windows Movie Maker audio/video synchronization problems

  I am changing a video on Windows Movie Maker (5.1), and when I cut a piece of the file clip and trimmed other part beside him, some delay seconds started with the change. Only, it starts at one point and continued for the rest of the video. I need to solve this problem, and I'm terrible with computers. Can someone help me sort whatsoever?

  It would be a massive help!

  Something to try...

  For the timeline... trying to drag a second instance
  video on the audio / music.

  Right click / Mute the Audio track.

  You can drag the file to the audio / music
  left or right then maybe you can synchronize audio
  with the video.
