Windows Movie Maker Codecs

Alright, so i have been working with WMM for a couple of months and one day my computer didnt have the right codec to import my videos of my video camera. I found the codec before when i had this problem but i cannot find it! This is what the program says when i try to import a file.

The file C:\Documents and Settings\Pat\My Documents\My Videos\HP You on You.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.

Please help!!

Thanks

I am having problems trying to find the windows movie maker codec. I am getting the messagewhen I try importing video t movie maker:

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.

Why isn’t the codec downlkoaing automatically as stated. What kind of shit are windows trying to sell if there is no codec available.

Can someone help out on this one.

Hi guys,

With AVIcodec you can find out which codec (or FOURCC) was used to encode the file. When you know that you may want to see if we have it available for download here on MovieCodec:

Look in the left column where you can links to our download pages, or if you only have the FOURCC or audio tag of the codec that you need, then check out the audio tag or fourcc reference pages (where you can match a given fourcc or audio tag to a specific codec).

F:\DCIM\100VIDEO\VID00002.AVI could not be imported. The required codec was not downloaded automatically because the Download codecs automatically check box is not selected in the Options dialog box.

How do I do what it is saying??? I don’t know how?
