I dont think Windows movies maker can encode ur AVI files to WMV files, it just is a a basic video creating/editing software introduced by Microsoft. It contains features such as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, timeline narration, and Auto Movie. It can only accept video files in format AVI, WMV, MPEG, etc. So, if you wanna encode AVI to WMV, check out this free video file converter . It’s pretty good at convert various video format.

its been great using movie maker but lately ive had the same codec w/e problem..... nothng is workin that ive found in this thread(i got vista) now the icon doesnt evemn save anymore i does an icon witha blue Q on it not the Mp4 thing anymore ... :? help!!!

I have a problem like this. When I upload audio and videos from my phone and camera they usually go with QuickTime and when I switch it to make it go with Windows Moviemaker it tells me that it doesn’t have the right codec and that I should install it. I’ve tried doing it with other things as well, but it still seems not to work. Which codec downloader should I use to fix this problem?

i used to have a problem like that too but now the problem is when i start windows movie maker it lets me drag the clips to the time line but now it wont let me drag the audio in it what should it do please help


aparently it only lets me drag a clip or song once but the thing is that when i add to the time line it doesnt let me put the clips in order and its really frustraiting plese help!

Ok, I have been having a problem... I was making videos with my moms camera cause it has mp3 but she wont let me and more and my camera has Mp4 =[. When i try to put my clips into windows movie maker its says “The file C:\Users\Conner.Mom-pc.000\Pictures\2009-08-05\213.MP4 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 import the file again." I have know idea what to do!! please help!

the same thing happened to me..i just went to system restore which in the control panel, then go to Performance and Maintenance, then up in the top left corner it should say “system restore” click that and go to “restore to an earlier time” then a little calender should come up..and just click on the day before the problems started and then it should automatically restart ur computer and then wen u turn it back on it should be good as new hope this helps

I tried to import .mpg to movie maker but it doesent let me, it says
“The file C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\basscover.MPG 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 import the file again."
im like wtf is up

I had a problem similar to that but when i import it, It exits out of Windows movie Maker.I tried restarting my pc,But that didn’t work either.

I already found a solution in our problem!!. *FIRST of all download DivX/Xvid Codec. *THEN download FLV to Video Converter Pro 2. YOU KNOW IT WORKED VERY WELL
