Windows Media Player plays its sample music & video ok. When I plug in a MP4 player and play it, no sound comes out when playing videos. Volume controls are all on.

VOB files on Movie Maker

08. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , ,
I have a new laptop that came with Windows 8.1. I downloaded Windows Essentials and Windows Movie Maker Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205) won't play the video from VOB files. The Audio does play. I had Windows 7 previously and the VOB files played just fine. 

I copy the file from the DVD and store it on the computer before trying to play it. The file will play just fine in Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player and Windows Photo Gallery. I tried selecting the file in Photo Gallery and then selecting Create, Movie and it opens the file in Movie Maker but will NOT show the video. I did download the KLite Codec pack but that did not help. 

I did download FreeMake file converter to convert the file to WMV, however that is an extra step and now I end up with 2 large files instead of 1. 

I did run a repair on Windows Movie Maker through the Control Panel but that didn't fix it. 

Any suggestions? Thanks. 


Why Does Windows Live Movie Maker 2012 Play Videos With NO Sound?!

07. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE STOP PLAYING MY VIDEOS WITH NO SOUND!!! 

I used to edit movies with Windows Live Movie Maker but now the videos don't play with sound. They all play fine in Windows Media Player and all other media players I have on my computer. 

Tried closing and reopening it a few times, uninstalling and reinstalling it, searched the problem online, and nothing works! The videos are .MOV and .AVI files. I have WLMM 2012 on Windows 8.1.

I can no longer publish videos on YouTube because of this OBTRUSIVE problem! MICROSOFT, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP MAKING MONEY FIX THIS MAYHEM!

Burning DVD from WMM

06. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
I made a movie in WMM using photos of my trip. I added music also. It plays great within WMM and Windows Media Player. I saved the movie and burned the disc with Windows media Player. The movie is 58 minutes long, 5.56gb. I used a dual layer DVD+R disc. When I play it in my DVD player, only half the movie plays, then stops. The whole movie plays great in the computer, but only half on a dvd. Any suggestions? I even install Cyberlink Media Suite 10 to try to burn it there. But when I use that, it won't burn a dvd saying some of the files are corrupt or missing.

MPEG File in Movie Maker on Windows 8

01. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I have an older digital video camera. The files are MPEG files which worked with Movie Maker on XP. Does Windows 8 support MPEG files? I have audio but no video when using Movie Maker and Windows Media Player. If it is supported, what do I need to do to see the video file?  Thank you.

No Video in MovieMaker only Audio

27. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,


I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1

I am using a Canon FS10 camcorder with Pixela ImageMixer 3 SE for SD ver. 3.1.3.

I can move and edit still photos but when I move videos into MovieMaker all that plays is the audio.

Windows Media Player plays my stills and videos correctly but when they arrive in MovieMaker only the audio plays.

I have already tried the "uncheck the Trusted Sites and add codecs.Microsoft.com thing." Didn't fix the problem.

Also, my files show up in Control Panel as "MPEG" files.


What am I doing wrong?

No sound for movie files imported into Windows Live Movie Maker

09. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I am trying to create a video using some footage I captured with my Canon PowerShot camera.  The footage is standard def (640 x 480), and the camera makes them into .MOV files.  I copied them to my computer using the memory card reader and imported them into Windows Live Movie Maker on a Windows 7 system.  They play fine in Windows Media Player, but when I bring them into Movie Maker, there is no sound at all.  Even if I make a movie with all of the files, still no sound.  The version of Movie Maker is 14.0.8091.0730 (obtained from the "Options" menu).

Windows Live Movie Maker (16.4.3508.0205) Error 0x87160139.

22. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

I inserted an .AVI file (20 seconds long) into Windows Live Movie Maker and received this error-->The file might be corrupt or in a format that Movie Maker doesn't recognize. This movie can't be saved or publish until ******.avi is removed from the project.  Error 0x87160139.

 

Here is what I have tried to resolve this issue:

1. I have tried multiple .AVI files and .WMV files-->  YES, all have same error but they all play fine in Windows Media Player on this same Windows 7 (32-bit) machine which means the video files are not corrupted.

2. Installed K-Lite Codec pack.  YES, and still have same error.

3. Uninstalled & Reinstalled Windows Live Essentials. YES, and I still get the same error.

4. I also tried logging on as a local administrator just in case the software was trying to write to a part of the registry a user would not have access to and still got the same error.

 

My conclusion: This software is flaky and should be rewritten or at the very least give better error codes that explain what is wrong. I appreciate it comes for free but make sure software works before releasing it to the masses.

 

Does anyone from Microsoft (or elsewhere) have a clue what is wrong with Windows Live Movie Maker (16.4.3508.0205)?

 

After wasting 3-4 hours trying to get this flaky software to work I am at the point of recommending a video editing application that works like Ezvid.

 

Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!

Audio ahead of video

The source files play fine in Windows Media player, but when they are loaded into Movie Maker, the audio gets ahead of the video. What gives? Very frustrating...

Contrast loss when converting mts file using Movie Maker

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I am trying to convert some mts files captured with a Panasonic Lumix G5 camera using Movie Maker on Windows 8. Everything works great, except that the output video shows some visible contrast (and perhaps saturation) loss (not terrible, but noticeable).

 

I tried both mp4 and wmv as outputs (and several output profiles) I see the same problem.

 

When I play the original mts files directly using the Windows Media Player, contrast is fine.

 

Any idea how to fix or control this?

 

Thanks,

Adrian
