Why won't my videos Import onto Windows Movie Maker?

Why can't I import my home videos to Windows Movie Maker?

• I uploaded some home videos onto my Vista PC and am trying to import them to Movie Maker so I can burn them onto a DVD, but I got this message when I tried. I have no idea what it's telling me. The file C:\Users\Sunde\Pictures\2010-01-18 videos\videos 001.MP4 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. Can anyone help me figure out what to do?

• Answer:

  Yes, this is format issue, windows movie maker only supports some special video formats well, such as wmv files, etc, so you can't directly import mp4 file into windows movie maker, there are two way can help you, the frist way, you can convert your mp4 video files to wmv video files, then import the wmv video files into windows movie maker, convert videos between different formats, you can try RZ Video Converter which can convert any videos between differernt formats, such as convert mp4 to wmv. the second way, don't use windows movie maker, use a better dvd burning software, you can try RZ DVD Creator, it can directly convert any formats video files to video dvd and burn to any dvd disc(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc), such as convert and burn mp4 video files to video dvd, and the burned video dvd can play well on dvd player. You can yahoo or google search and download RZ Video Converter or RZ DVD Creator, both easy to use, hope them could elp you.
