Thank you so very much, movie maker is now working for me!

every time i try to drag a file on to Windows Movie Maker this pops up....

The file C:ART 11\100_2115.MOV 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.


what do i doo????

I HAVE FOUND A WAY BUT IT SEEMS EVERYBODY IS TO LAZY TO READ “ALL” THE POSTS....BECAUSE IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED MY WAY...Sorry getting off, but I just dont understand why people I saying that they havent found a solution, somebody please posts if this did not work for them....
AS I SAID:
“I have found a way. Go to your windows start menu then to programs, accesories, system tools, and then click on “system restore”. After this just choose the date before this error had occured.

Note: If you had installed any new programs after this error you will loose them but not the information you saved on them. Example: I had lost my iTunes program but when I reinstalled I still had all my songs on the program. So dont worry about loosing any vital information."

Instead of killing youself trying to find codec, do this.....It worked very well for me....
NOw I hope I dont see anymore “But still no answer”....I have one!!! Use it!!!

It’s also an inconvenient solution. There’s a risk restoring will actually erase your stuff. You’re lucky you got yours back, that doesn’t work for all of us. You have one of the first comments, everyone sees it, but no one’s willing to risk it, so we’re asking for a more surefire solution that won’t tamper with our hard drives. So chill out and let us ask our questions, you’re not always right, kid.

Just because it worked with you doesn’t mean everyone has the same hardware of computer system as you do. And you only said iTunes. Some of us have thousands of programs on our computers. So chill out and let us ask our questions, you’re not always right, kid.

C:/.avicould not be imported. Unspecified error

I tried downloading many different types of codecs but none of them ever worked. please help me!!!

Hey. Ya, I have that same problem, and im thinking of downloading codec so i can continue. i havent tried it yet thought...

My WMM keeps importing my precious videos as audio only, and when I go to play them it will play the audio but what is supposed to be video is just a black screen. what am i doing wrong?

I had a problem importing an AVI into WMM. After reading many pages without success was told to try downloading DivX7 by a friend from http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx ... I can now import AVI into WMM. Not sure if this fix has been mentioned before but it worked for me.

Im having the problem too... I was round a mates house for a party and we made a video we all wanted to edit in movie maker to put on youtube. Because it was filmed on my phone it is a different file type, and i have no idea what to do :'(
