Codec Windows Movie Maker

Hi,

I have an equivalent problem:
I was just given a Sony camcorder but it only records videos in .m2t format
I want to edit with Windows Movie Maker but I can't find free codecs and I can't play this type of file except with VLC

Please, help :o(

Thank you for your responses.

To respond to you, you need to install a codec pack. You have the K-Lite available for free online or ACE Mega Code for free as well, but the problem is when you work with Windows Movie Maker, the codecs keep opening which causes Windows Movie Maker to crash. The solution is to go slowly with W.M.M and save your work regularly.

Does your problem not stem from the type of format?

Download K-lite codec pack full (free from this site or elsewhere) then install it and in the movie maker options disable all filters except those from the K-lite pack, then enable the mpeg-2 codec in ffdshow video decoder located in the start menu, programs, K-lite codec. Restart and good luck.

Hi

I had the same problem with videos not being recognized by Movie Maker, but downloading the codecs didn't change anything unfortunately; you need to find a good software to convert the video format to AVI, which is recognized by Movie Maker.

It all depends on the issues encountered. When you can't import at all, it's due to the video filters you need to select in the options of Movie Maker, and when you import and only get the sound but not the images, it's a codec issue.

Anyway, if Movie Maker can't read them, it will tell you right away, so just drag them into the software.

Hi everyone,

I had a similar problem: unable to insert video files into WMM. For me, it was vob files.
But the problem is almost the same.
Let's add that I'm at the office and can't install anything on this computer!!!

Here's the solution: we use VLC to transcode our files to .avi (mpeg1 video codec and mpeg2 audio codec).
And there you go, it works in WMM.

The clever ones will note that if I can't install anything, I also can't install VLC..... Yes, but this software doesn't need to be installed, you just need to install it at home and copy the empty folder containing the VLC files, and there you go...
See you later

Salut, j'ai des problèmes, j'aimerais mettre une vidéo téléchargée sur Windows Movie Maker, mais ils me disent d'installer un CODEC et j'aimerais savoir quel genre de codec il faut. ^^

Merci d'avance. ^^

Well, I actually want to make an AMV and the video format of the episodes I want to import is AVI, but WMM can't import it.

I have the same problem, thank you for helping me solve it.

oé ok but where do you find tools, options ... ???

I have really tried everything that is said, but I can't send my videos to Movie Maker
I downloaded K-Lite Codec, I have the full and mega codec packs, but nothing works. I changed the opening properties in the Movie Maker options, but nothing changes... Furthermore, not long ago everything was working perfectly. My camera sends videos in MOV format, I really need urgent help
Thank you in advance.

help hel^p help help

Hello,
I downloaded the K-lite codec pack full to edit a video on Windows Movie Maker, my problem is that the video works but there is no sound.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance =)

Hello community, my problem is that I recently have an H-P tower, Windows Vista... Home Premium edition 64 bits
Before having it, I used to make videos "what a big word" having made backups on CD, Movie Maker: version 6.0 (Pack2) doesn't want to support them because of missing codecs...
I downloaded the K-Lite codec pack, but my Movie does not recognize it?
Then even the Super software, which allows changing the format and cutting the sound.... nothing, still an "error" message
My SOS is important for me to resolve because I am upset that I can't manage it alone.... Thank you in advance if help is provided... Even without help, happy holidays to all!

Hello!

So I also had the problem of importing .avi videos, so I downloaded the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, as suggested on a forum.
I import a video: WMM crashes abruptly, without any error message, when I try to play it. I saw in this topic that you were talking about video filters, but when I go to Tools < Options, I don't have a "Compatibility" tab. I can't find which filters to block... I'm really terrible with computers, so I don't know how to tinker with it ^^
If anyone has the solution, thank you in advance!

Hello everyone! I have the same issue: Sony camcorder, mini DVD, WMM doesn’t recognize it; I download the codecs but, I risk sounding stupid, where are the "tools compatibility options" buttons in WMM??? Thanks! (I have the Windows 7 version)

Please, I tried everything you told me but I installed K-Lite and it says The file................................. cannot be imported because the codec required for playback is not installed on your computer. If you have already downloaded and installed the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, then reimport the file.
