Converting quick time into windows movie maker

I wanted to create a basic slideshow in windows movie maker that includes video clips too. I've done this before. However, I have a video clip that was taken on my digital camera and downloaded into the computer. It is a quick time file. I am not able to import this into windows movie maker. Is there a way I can convert this? Or export it out onto my video camera thru firewire? I don't want to spend money on Quick Time Pro 7.

iDVD is the app, that comes "free" with any Mac, to author, encode and burn videoDVDs....
I'm pretty sure, your digicam came with some software, which allows the download to a Windows machine... read the manual.....
or, you ask in some Movie Maker forum?
such .mov files would be imported flawless on a Mac, but Windows?... very little support here...

Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.

Import songs from iTunes into Windows Movie Maker

I have found it difficult to use my songs in any other application. I'm creating videos using Windows Movie Maker (Vista) and when I go to import the songs aren't showing up in the iTunes Music folder. I also downloaded the files into an external drive. When I opened the external drive separate the songs were there. When I was in Windows Movie Maker and went to import the files weren't there. Any suggestions on how to use songs from iTunes. I feel as though I've purchased them and can't use them anywhere else other than on my iPod and computer.

If they are protected files, that's correct. You can only use them on iPods, authorized computers and Apple TVs.

Converting quicktime movie to windows movie maker!

Okay! So I have a project due tomorrow and me and some of my friends made a movie with my Kodak EasyShare camera. When we put it onto my computer, it saved itself as a QuickTime video. Following the transfer of the video onto my computer, I opened Windows Movie Maker and attempted to transfer the video clip onto the Movie Maker.
The following message appeared:
The file C:\Documents and Settings\Elizabeth\My Documents\My Pictures\Project Pic and Files Storage\100_1248.mov is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.
How do I convert my video on QuickTime to be imported into Windows Movie Maker? All suggestions would be creatly appreciated! Thanks, Karlee.

What I've done in the past is to covert the .mov to a .avi using QT pro, then movie maker was able to accept it.

Part 1: How to import .mod video to Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Load files
First copy the MOD file from your video camera to your hard drive, then download, install and run MOD Converter, click the "Add Files" button to browse your computer hard disc and load the MOD/TOD video files you want to convert to the program.
Step 2: Output Setting
In the bottom of the main interface, select an output format supported by Windows Movie Maker for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files.
Step 3: Start convert
Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion.
Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections".
Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions.
Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips.
Step 2: Add titles and credits
If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits.
Step 3: Add Music
In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music.
In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing.
Step 4: Add narration
If you have a desktop computer, connect a microphone. Microphones are available from most electronics stores. If you have a portable computer, you can use the built-in microphone. However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume.
Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer.
The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.

File transfer of Voice Notes to Windows Movie Maker

Maybe this really isn't a Blackberry question, but....
Voice Note file has been transferred to my computer (.amr extension). But I can't get it to import into Windows Movie Maker because of an incorrect Codec. Is there anything I can do with the file via my Blackberry Desktop Manager to change the extension?

Can anyone answer this question for me? I am very frustrated with this issue. I had a lot of family members give me itunes gift cards for Christmas so that I could purchase appropriate songs for slideshows that I make for grandchildren and other family members. I cannot get any of the songs into my slideshows as it says that they are mp4's. Someone told me that they have to be mp3's and then someone told me that I could convert them to mp3s within itunes and export them to my slideshows. I am not selling the slideshows, only doing this as a hobby and am now upset that I spent so much time and money on songs I cannot use. Is this true, I can never use them in my slideshows? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Depends what they are. If you purchased .m4p files, be aware that they contain Apple-proprietary DRM "protection" that prevents their use in non-Apple programs. If you purchased .m4a files, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3.
For future reference, since you plan to use your music for multiple purposes, the most compatible format, by far, is MP3. Make sure that all music you purchase or rip is in MP3 format.

IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.

I Tunes and Windows Movie Maker

Having problems importing i Tunes music files into Windows Movie Maker. When I search for them, the do not immediately show up as Audio Music files. I have to force them to appear in the i Tunes file by selecting "all files". They then show up as .m4a files. What are these? Secondly when I attempt to import these m4a i Tunes files, Movie Maker stops responding. Can anyone tell me how to import i tunes files into Windows programs?

You're nearly there, tilleo. We need to adjust your Importing preferences to mp3 (rather than aac) in order to change the Create AAC version into a Create MP3 version.
In iTunes, go Edit > Preferences. In the General preferences, click the "Import Settings" button:
In the import settings box, try selecting "MP3 Encoder and "Higher Quality":
OK out of the Import Settings, and OK out of the General Preferences tab.
From now on, as well as seeing a "Create MP3" option, CDs will also import using the MP3 encoder, so you won't have to convert them for Movie Maker. (Songs you buy from the iTunes Store, however, would still be AAC, so you'd still need to convert those before using them in Movie Maker.)

Windows movie maker codec error message

When I try to import downloaded itune songs into windows movie maker, to insert into "movie" I get an error message something like "proper codec not downloaded for selected song" Any help appreciated. [email protected]

You need to install an AAC codec or use iTunes to convert the songs to MP3. If those songs contain DRM, neither method will work.

Importing trailer from iTunes to Windows Movie Maker. help?

im trying to import The Prestige trailer into Windows Movie Maker so that i can have it set into the whole program. is it possible to import a trailer from iTunes into another program? i tried to make it able to open with movie maker, but it still isn't working.

WMP does not fully support MPEG, you'll have to convert it to a format supported by this program.

The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle. You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place. Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

Windows Movie Maker won't let me use QT clips

I recorded some clips for a movie, but Windows Movie Maker won't let me use them! Is there any way to convert my Quick Time clips into clips for Windows Media player? Any Help is appreciated!
Windows Windows XP

Windows Movie Maker does not import MOV files as you surmised. Third party software is necessary to convert it for importation to WMM.
One such software(free) that works is: 'RAD Video Tools' from 'Bink and Smacker':
www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
The RAD Video Tools software will allow you to convert MOV files to AVI files, which will import into WMM
A FAQ page on converting files w/the RAD s/w is here:
www.radgametools.com/binkhcon.htm
It may look intimidating at first but all you really need to do is:
1) Browse to your MOV file, select it, then click 'convert a file' at bottom menu.
2) Then in the new window that pops up, make sure the output file type is .AVI(the default output file type should be AVI), then click on 'convert' at right menu.
3) Import the newly created AVI file into WMM
Hope this is helpful,
