No audio in windows movie maker

I recorded some short video clips on my iPhone 5 and emailed the video files to myself. These files are .MOV as a default, so I individually went through each clip and saved it on Windows Live Movie Maker so that the video files would be .WMV instead.
Then I imported these .WMV files to my Windows Movie Maker and assembled the files the way I wanted it. However, when I play the videos, there is no audio.
I have already tried going to Tools > Options > Compatibility > Restore All Defaults. I've also tried unchecking all the boxes above in order to change the video filter settings. There still isn't audio playing.
I know it's not my computer's speaker's fault because when I add a music file in the project, the audio on that music file plays just fine.
Would it be better to edit these video clips on an Apple device on iMovie?
Please help!

If a PC is your main choice, I would use a different software, not change the video to something different, and see if it works.
If the main purpose is to put it on DVD, then DVDStyler works well. If you want to play it on an iPad, then use an app on the iPad designed for that purpose. What is the main goal for the final product of these videos?

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.

How to edit JVC/Panasonic/Canon .mod video in Windows Movie Maker then upload to YouTube for sharing

Quick View:
Part 1: How to import .mod video to Windows Movie Maker
Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
Part 3: How to upload your video to YouTube
Know More:
1. Which Camcorders record video in .MOD type?
2. What file types are supported by Windows Movie Maker?
3. What file types are supported by YouTube?
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.
Part 3: How to upload my video to YouTube
A video file should meet the following requirements so that it can be uploaded to YouTube site.
1. In an acceptable format: WMV, MPEG4, MOV, AVI and MPEG.

Step 3: Set this video to be public or private.
Step 4: Click the "Upload a video" button. When you see the next window, click the "Browse" button to select the video file you want to upload. Then click the "Upload Video" button to upload it. After the upload is finished, you will see the completion page. See the figure below:
Step 5: Click "My Videos" and you will see the video.

Does anyone know if that is possible to do? If so, would you please tell me how to do that?

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 2 for Windows XP SP3 32 Bit

Hey Guys,
I'm having a small issue with Windows Movie Maker . I work for a school district and in the lab we have about 25 machines and I'd say over half of them are having this issue. The issue is that when you open up WMM - click on Import Pictures
and then go to the sample pictures directory and import any of the pictures into collections and then drag that into the Video time line. It doesn't show up in the video preview it's just a black window and when you click narration it gives me a "Class Not
Registered" error. Now, I've been doing some digging and a lot of people on different forums suggested to do a rundllsvr32 for a couple of dlls that fixed the class not registered issue for some people, but not for me. I even tried reinstalling WMM by going
into systemroot\inf and hitting install on moviemk and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what this problem could relate to ? Whether it's a matter of video drivers ( I have latest one ) or video codecs ? I did also try deleting all the video codecs
under Sound and Audio Devices too. So, if anyone knows anything about this that would be Highly Appreciated.
Thanks again !!

Imported avi crashes premiere pro cs4...sound only on windows movie maker

Hello all,
So when I go to import an avi it just crashes premiere pro...but first it turns into a sound only file, then crashes. With windows movie maker it only plays the sound?
Anyone else have these problems? I don't really want to use other video editors...
Oh and I'm running Vista.
Suggestions please.

I'm sorry I don't have a quick answer.
From what I can tell
- Vista X64 uses MovieMaker 64bit
- MovieMaker 64bit requires 64bit codecs (I think there is an experimental 64 bit ffdshow on sourceforge that might work)
- However installing 64bit codecs may stop your 32bit video apps from rendering properly.
I didn't provide links to the experimental ffdshow build cause I didn't try it myself.
If I were you, I'd give up on getting Movie Maker working for now, and just focus on Premiere pro. ? Since it is a paid application they should provide good support. You can't be alone with this issue. If they require codec information just tell them it's a H.264 video with PCM Audio in a AVI wrapper. Guess a quick snapshot video could be provided if they needed one.
ps.
. I'm just a user, not affiliated with Creative)
(pss... I use Vista x64 as well, and do not get video in moviemaker either)

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.)

Importing Windows Movie Maker Project

I coworker brought in a PC with Windows Movie Maker on it (XP) that would not render without crashing. Now she has a 28 minute video that consists of images and audio.
Would there be a way to import this into an Apple application (especially iMovie) so I can finish tweaking it and make a DVD.
She needs it for graduation on the 10th and it is rather useless being stuck in its current format.
As it has several hundred photos and music, I would rather not rebuild the slideshow by hand.
Any suggestions?

Your downloaded music is in Apple's AAC(m4a) format and Windows Movie Maker does not accept this format. You can convert it to mp3 in iTunes.
Itunes menu, EDIT/PREFERENCES, GENERAL tab. Go in IMPORT SETTINGS, under IMPORT USING, you have various Encoder, AAC. AIFF, APPLE LOSSLESS, MP3 and WAV. Select MP3 encoder, then OK and OK.
Right mouse click the song(s) in music library will give you a Menu which includes CREATE MP3 version.

Importing Songs to Windows Movie Maker

I am trying to use some of my iTunes songs on a photo dvd/movie I'm making for a friend in Windows Movie Maker. I have tried burning an audio cd, a data cd, and an mp3 cd. iTunes will not let me burn the mp3 cd, and Windows Movie Maker "doesn't support" the other formats.
Any ideas on how I can get my songs onto my photo cd?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays, Aileen

i'm having a problem too. i can't find where to go to post a new topic this site isn't great at having that stand out...but anyways i want to make a movie and i got all these great songs i got from itunes...but i can't use most of them. just recently i did some stuff and now i can access some that i got on this computer. on my last computer i bought songs off itunes but then it started to crash so i saved them to a huge memory drive and then reimported them to my new computer. None of those songs work but the ones i've gotten on this computer so far do...it says something about the codec not being supported but i don't know where to go to download a codec or whatever it's talking about. Someone please help.

Using iTunes wuith windows movie maker

I am making a video on windows movie maker and I want to add a song into it from my iTunes, but when I found the songs, they were just empty folders.

Sorry purchased content is only playable in iTunes and cannot be used with other programs. You are allowed to burn purchased content onto an audio CD, but thats about it.
