Movie Maker Error - Problem Solved!

I have found a solution to your problems.

Problem Defined: You don’t have the proper codecs to play or encode/decode the format of video/audio you are trying to import into movie maker.

Solution:

Download and install (in order) —

1) K-lite Mega Codec Pack:

Note: When installing, don’t just fly through. Under Select Components, choose to install Profile #5 aka “Lots of Stuff”.

For those NOT wishing to install Media Player Classic, which will be the default video player, simply un-click the box under this profile. It should be the top one or near the top.

2) Windows Media Codecs:

The reason you must install K-Lite first, and then Windows Media is because K-Lite will set your system to decode windows media v7 streams using ffdshow — which Windows Movie Maker does NOT like, and therefore will not read.

By installing the Windows Media Codecs, after K-Lite, you will overwrite the K-Lite files for JUST Windows Media. This combination will allow your system to interpret almost all codecs, and Movie Maker to do the same.

Problem Solved.

ok.

thank you very much
