I have the same thing. I try & download things from my phone but when I do it says “The file \DCIM\100MSDCF\MOV00075.3GP 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."
Where on earth do you get these damn codecs?! :@

It’s not true, I can’t import the .AVI files.

“Tools -> Options -> Tick all”.

They’re all ready fully ticked. I think I just don’t have the codec.

I went to:

- TOOLS
- OPTIONS
- COMPATIBILITY

And clicked everyone of the boxes inside that list and the only one that WASN’T CHECKED was ffdshow Video Decoder, I checked it and then restarted Windows Movie Maker and then it let me import the .AVI File I was wanting.

Great info, Gregg..after downloading a general XP codec pack that had all the codecs I could ever need in one download, I went into tools/options and did what you said..

“just managed to fix it on mine smiley. make sure the movie will play (or if not go download ffshow this should sort out most things) then go in to movie maker. click tools/options. go to the last tab and make sure that all of the codecs have a tick by them. now try importing the file again hope this works smiley”

AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM. Thank you!

Hey everybody, I had the exact same problem, then I found the following solution posted by Sajjad, from Iran. It worked for me! Thanks Sajjad!

I had this problem with movie maker and said to me this error:

The file E:\alefba\AVSEQ01.avi 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.

But I have solved it, you want to know how? ok. read below:

1-open movie maker
2-go to the tools — >optins menu.
3-go to the compatibility at the above of window.
4- at the filter box, check the “ffdshow mpeg-4 video decoder” (note, it didn’t read exactly like this in my program but I checked the the un-checked option at the bottom).

5- push “ok” bottom.
6-import your .avi video and enjoy it.

If you want to thanks me contact with sajjadnasiri@gmail.com and now say that iranian people are bad. HA HA HA

1. Click Start, click Programs or All Programs, and then click Windows Movie Maker.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Make sure that the check box for Download codecs automatically is checked

Hey, I found this on the Microsoft Website

bob2:

I tried your way, && my computer account totally screwed up.

I had to use my brothers account to restore all the original settings.

So, no, we weren’t ignoring you, just not telling you how much your “advice” took us 1 step forward, then 2 steps back.
