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.

  • IMovie HD to Windows Movie Maker

    I have some movie clips in iMovie HD 5.0.2 (currently unconverted) - what's the best way to get them into a format the Windows Movie Maker can read, as it seems that none of the formats under "Expert" are supported by WMM.
    Is there any (ideally free) conversion software available for OSX 10.4 PPC that can do this?
    Unfortunately, it's not an option to not use Windows Movie Maker.
    Thanks for the help

    Hi
    SORRY THIS WAS - Backward info - from .avi/.wmv to streamingDV -
    may be the way is reversible.
    Just cutting and pasting from old doc (to explain strange formulations).
    .avi:
    You can use MPEG-Streamclip to convert the AVI files so that QuickTime can play them
    and to streamingDV for iMovie.
    .wmv:
    iMovie is by concept meant to work with miniDV camcorders.. any other 'imports' need a conversion or are not supported... a quick solution would be purchasing a plug-in from www.flip4mac.com, 49$, which allows the conversion of .wmv (a PC format) into something useful for iM (dv-stream) ...
    or, ask the emailer to send it in some other codec .. mpg4 for example .. which will be converted by iM 'out-of-the-box' ... and, to work with iM, the video should fulfill a few standards .. 720x480 pixel resolution, 30 frames per second ... otherwise, you will experience a dramatic loss of quality ..

  • Transfer of Video from Windows Movie Maker to PE7

    Hi,
    I put together my first video using Windows Movie Maker, and the audio tracks are wma files. I just got Premiere Elements 7 and want to transfer the video to it from Movie Maker, but I understand that in PE7 audio files should be either mp3 or wav.
    Is there a way to make the transfer so that I'll be able to burn the video to DVD after getting it into PE7?
    Thanks!

    Why not export from Windows MovieMaker as DV-AVI.... (See this FAQ on exportinmg from WMM as DV-AVI http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0) then bring this into PE7. Note sometimes you can have audio issues with the type 1 DV-AVI that WMM produces. In this case use the free DVDate (http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm) to convert the type 1 to type 2... it is very fast and lossless.

  • Windows movie maker not playing sound.

    I am currently trying to make a video which will have sound and pictures/writing together. I have been able to make multiple videos in the past using this software but for some bizarre reason the sound doesn't work when I try make a new vid, nor does it
    work on the previous vids that I have made. I have also tried to re-download Windows Movie Maker but I can't seem to find it? You help would be great as I am really unhappy about this situation. Thanks.

    what happen if you play music or watch video using other app? still no sound?
    what if files type that you edit at Movie Maker? please make sure you installed latest codec and this file supported by Movie maker
    Please make sure this is not setting audio issue, setting audio at audio tab and volume slider at bottom right side

  • Windows Movie Maker won't accept my Quicktime file

    can you give me the hints? I tried converting the quicktime file and it's worked, because now it has the windows media thumbnail, BUT it still doesnt work in the movie player..

    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,

  • Can Encore 2.0 import file from Windows Movie Maker?

    I have just purchased and installed Encore 2.0, so I am a true novice. I have a few movies I created using Windows Movie Maker and wanted to import them into Encore 2.0; however, when I try to do so I get a message telling me that "the software used to decode is not available on this system." Is there away for me to fix this problem, or is Encore not capable of importing these files?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    Actually, Encore does support WMV files. I just imported an AVI into Movie Maker and exported it as a WMV file at the default settings and it imported fine into Encore.
    Apparently there's something about the WMV files in question that Encore doesn't like, however. From the error message I'd suspect that the codec used to export the file is missing. Is the system you're running Encore on the same system you used to export from Movie Maker? If not, you might want to try loading your Movie Maker project files onto the same system and re-exporting them. Also double-check that the settings for the exported movie correspond to a legal video format (although you'd probably get a different error message if that was the cause).

  • Exporting .dv files to supported files types for Windows Movie Maker

    I am digitizing all of my friends' family videos with iMovie and I now have them all as Apple .dv files. Unfortunately some of my freinds do not have Macs, so I must convert them. There are many options for converting .dv files to formats that Windows Movie Maker can import, but every combination of wrapper and codec I have tried has either resulted in low quality or results in a size that it is at least double. Because these are family memories I do not want to lose quality compared to the Apple Mac .dv files that I have. On the other hand, I would prefer not to double the file size for the same quality that I had.
    What converter do you recommend and what combination of wrapper (mpeg4, avi, mov, etc.) and codec (h264, jpeg, etc.) can convert Mac .dv files into full resolution files for Windows Movie Maker?
    What I have tried:
    I was advised by Applecare to try DivX converter, but it does not accept .dv files. I have been trying Mpeg Streamclip with the following combinations:
    exporting to AVI with DivX Codec seemed low quality
    exporting to AVI with H.264 was not readable by Windows Movie Maker
    exporting to AVI with Apple Photo JPEG Codec was more than twice the orginal .dv file size
    Thanks.

    ...  There are variants of dv files and .. .
    best to my knowledge - no.
    .dv is a standard, created by movie-cams. iMovie handles this codec 'natively'.
    only allowed differences are PAL and NTSC …
    I copied a zillion .dv files without processing/editing directly from the Events folder onto a fat32-formatted HDD.
    but even edited movies are compatible: Export using Quicktime and in the drop down DV-STREAM ...
    afaik, in Movie Maker you have to choose 'Import file'  - done.
    sorry, no idea which of the hundred of versions of WMM is in use on the other side of the street

  • I can't transfer my voice notes to my computer

    When I tried from USB, voice notes was the only media files that weren't on the list of tranferable files, only music, videos and pictures.
    Then I tried to text them to my email, however for some reason, my phone WILL NOT text to emails. Doesn't matter if it a voice note file or a just words. Does anyone know why it won't text to emails? Or a way to transfer my voice note files to my computer.

  • Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music.

    Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music anymore. Hear is what happend in a nut shell.
    For reasons I can not explain I had to reinstall all my software on my Vista HP notbook. But I only had one why of saving my data music,photos. I had to use my flash drive to save everything as my DVD recoder would not work right at the time.
    So I save everything I needed and then did the deed then when that was all done and everything was working right again. I put all my photos and music back to my computer. All my music or aleast most of my music is from itunes some music is from CD I do not have anymore.
    My question is when I go to put music with my movie or slideshow with Windows movie maker. A box pops up and tells me that this song dose not have the right codec but it also tell me did I download the right codec. I have know idea what its talking about. Movie Maker worked fine with itunse music before the reinstall. I am thinking I did not save the music right though the music plays great on itunes but just will not import right to my movie project. I am at a lose for words can someone please help me shed some well needed light on this all the help I can get would be a God send thank you.

    this happens to me too can someone please tell us what is going on?

  • Lenovo C560 with Windows 8.1 (16-gb RAM) will not successfully load Windows Movie Maker

    I loaded Windows Movie Maker 12 with Windows Essentials.  -This is exactly the same setup I am using on a HP desktop at work with Windows 8.1, but for some reason my C560 keeps giving me a "low memory" warning and will not load a AVI clip.  -Worse, after trying... my whole computer gets glitchy and nothing seems to work properly until I shut it down, and restart it.
    Quick recap on what I have tried.  Upgraded from 6-gb to 16-gb of RAM.  Increased the size of my Virtual Memory as much as it would let me.  Nothing has made the slightest bit of difference.

    If you have a flashlight available I would shine it into each of the USB ports to make sure all the contacts are aligned straight and to see there is no debris in the port that could be shorting out the data contacts. 
    Another thing to try is going into Windows Device Manager and uninstall the USB and then reboot the computer.  When the computer restarts it will again install the USB ports.  This procedure will make sure the operating system correctly has them installed.
    If the USB ports are still not functioning I would recommend you contact Lenovo Support for warranty service. You can find the phone number for Lenovo Support in your country or area by using the link below....

  • HT2688 trying to go into windows movie maker to make a photo disc with songs but it will not let me use the songs i bought in i tunes.it says i need to install codec but it has not worked

    i am trying to go into windows movie maker to make a photo disc with songs from my i tunes but it tells me i can not do it because codec is not installed.i have tried to get codec but does not seem to have worked.

    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.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards

  • How to import itune file to windows movie maker

    When I try to import an itune file to windows movie maker the error message says a necessary codec file is missing...how can i perform this import?

    Find where on the computer the song files are.  Then go into iTunes, use the command File > Add Folder to LIbrary, and navigate it to the folder(s) that contain the songs.
    If the files are in MP3 format, they will be added to iTunes immediately.  If they are in unprotected WMA format, iTunes will convert them (one at a time) and add theconverted copy to the iTunes Library, leaving the original in place.

  • Can I transfer/copy songs from itunes to Windows Movie Maker?

    I am designing a slide show for my daughter's wedding.  If I buy songs through itunes, can I copy/move them to Windows Movie Maker for the slide show.
    I appreciate your input/guidance.

    With the iPod connected to your PC and selected on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then you can enable the sidbar via control-S), you should be able to use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
