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

I cant get videos from my camera onto windows movie maker?

  • this is what pops up : The file K:\DCIM\100CASIO\CIMG0052.MOV 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.

  • Answer:

    I have the exact same problem ! I've tryed the K-Lite Full Codec , whcih you can download , and lets you play the videos on Windows media player. But i heard that you can convert These Videos to avi with VLC Media player. I'll keep you informed on any other tips ! Edit : I HAVE FOUND IT ! http://www.lelogicielgratuit.com/Telecharger-gratuit-logiciel-736.html This is it ! You Download it here ! Just Put The Output to WMV. You'll ask Yourself , its in french . Oh No. But i am french so , There a big bar on the left that says in big letters vertically ''Telecharger''. It means Download. I've used this program and it's still good quality , and there's no watermark (shownig commercials , etc... ) it's great. You're welcome. Edit 2: In order to get the movies into the player , you'll need the full K-Lite Codec pack which allows you to play these Movies in WMP.

some video cameras are not compatible with some editing programs. Its just that the videos are the wrong type of file. try to find a different movie program online, but be careful and make sure you download it from a trusted website.
