1. Go to

and download the K-Lite Codec Pack FULL.
2. Run and Install the K-Lite Codec Pack. Make sure you do not un-check anything.
3. Open up Windows Movie Maker, go to Tools > Options... > Compatibility.
4. Check “ffdshow Video Decoder."
5. Press OK.
6. Now you can import video .avi files!
I have this same problem.
I have followed ALL the advice on here and still get the identical error message.
I used to be able to make movies with Moviemaker but now it refuses to import ANY video I have made.
Thanks heaps for the solution. After downloading the XviD Codec, my problem got resolved.

I love to see IRON MAN in the movie. And then when i found this website.I was very glad to see the IRON MAN.Great wpllaaper,Tremendous pictures.I wish u also enjoy. ! A.D.S !
If you don’t want to update your WM Player or WM Maker, then download and install the 'official' XDiv & DivX codecs from divxmovies(dot)com/codec/ and xvidmovies(dot)com/codec/
It works for me ;)
Just say 'no' to install unnecessary codec packs with tons of spyware and other malware inside !!!
Good Luck
