  • .....I use "windows Movie Maker" to edit video that I take on my camera or web cam. I usualy import video from my camera on to my computer and then to my "Windows Movie Maker" and i made a couple of videos that way, but now when i try to import videos from my camera to windows move maker it dosent let me ....it says = "The file C:\Users\Alinka\Pictures\2009-06-12\004.… 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." it worked before I dont know what happend and what should I do???

  • Answer:

    Since you did not tell us which camcorder, it is difficult to help... please provide manufacturer and model number information o that in a new post - maybe someone will be able to help. You have not provided enough information.

thats what mine said for music.... I don't know what to do.... :(

To make it work again, perform the following steps: Step 1: Figure out the format your recorder stores files in (eg *.avi or *.wmv). Try looking at the extension on your error message maybe? Step 2: Google "Windows movie maker [extension you got in step 1] codec" without the quotes. Step 3: Find and install one of the codecs you got from the search. Step 4: Try again. As for what's wrong with it...did you miss the part where "Windows" was in the title of the application?
