Why can't I get my videos to show up in Windows Movie Maker?

How come i cant get videos from my phone into windows movie maker?

  • Yea, i keep getting a message saying it cant import it... "C:\Users\Tyler\Desktop\Video0042.mp4 could not be imported." iono why... help please!!!

  • Answer:

    Windows Movie Maker supports these video formats: * Video files: .asf, .avi, .wmv * Movie files: MPEG1, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2 To get mp4 videos onto Windows Movie Maker, you will have to convert those files with a video converter such as Aimersoft Video Converter (free download) or if you are using a good video editing software such as DVD Slideshow Builder (this is what I use) or something comparable then your files don't have to be converted. You can just add them to the program and start from there.

Try converting it. I think WMM should take MPEG-4, but It's obviously not. You can use zamzar.com. No installation needed. EDIT: Due to other reports, WMM doesn't like MPEG formats. You will need to convert it to .avi or wmv.

It seems that windows movie maker can't accept .mp4 video. i use wmm version 5.1. I use iorgsoft video converter converting my .mp4 videos to ram .avi or mpeg-1 format, then import them to wmm, it's ok. http://www.mp4kits.com/Guides/WMM/import-mp4-to-windows-movie-maker/
