Transfer Windows Live Movie to ITunes.

I have created a movie using Microsoft Live Movie Maker which has been saved on my PC as a (*wmv) file. When I try to copy to ITunes is comes up with a barred sign. As far as I can see the file is not protected.

iTunes supports only mov, m4v and mp4 formats. You need to get a third party software to convert.

Export from Windows Live Movie Maker to iTunes

Anyone know an easy way to convert videos created in Windows Live Movie Maker to an iTunes compatible format?

Hi frostytosh,
I agree with MisterX. This can be done with Windows Movie Maker and its not very tricky. Just have a look on this Youtube tutorial video.
Also check the Windows Live page about Movie Maker with interesting article about the different features:

Anyone tried to ZAV Windows Live Movie Maker?
Have found this useful on how to just install Movie Maker:
AppDeploy > Package Knowledgebase > Windows Live Essential 2011
Any advice.
Thanks

Mini-DV Capture to Windows Live Movie Maker

I captured video from my mini-dv cam (GL2) in FCP but my editor uses Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the best way to get video captured using Final Cut Pro into a format that Windows Live Movie Maker can work with?

Here are the file formats WLMM supports:
Windows Media Video (WMV) files
.wmv
Windows Media files
.asf and .wm
AVCHD files
.m2ts and .m2t
Apple QuickTime files
.mov and .qt
DV‑AVI files
.avi
Microsoft Recorded TV Show files
.dvr-ms and .wtv
MPEG‑4 movie files
.mp4, .mov,.m4v, .3gp, .3g2, and .k3g
MPEG‑2 movie files
.mpeg, .mpg, .mpe, .m1v, .mp2, .mpv2, .mod, and .vob
MPEG‑1 movie files
.m1v
Motion JPEG files
.avi and .mov
Can Compressor do any of those? Which is the best? What settings should I use in compressor to process 500GB of footage on my MacBook so that it takes only a few hours and produces the highest quality audio/video possible and results in less than 5GB of footage at the end?
I know I will lose quality. My requirements are simply 500GB to 5GB, best quality possible, WLMM compatible, process time in compressor on a MBP < 6 hours. Please tell me the suggested settings. Thank You.

Can I export to Windows Media 1080p with same quality as Windows Live Movie Maker?

I am looking to replace Windows Live Movie Maker, because of the following:
it keeps crashing
it has occasional problems with audio sync when I use MTS source files
it has very limited editing features (especially inability to increase audio levels for a clip)
However, I would like to still render to 1080p Windows Media files for archiving. Does anyone know if there are settings I could use in Premiere to export to 1080p and get equivalent quality to WLMM? I have failed to find a combination of settings in Premiere that doesn't mess up the video with horizontal lines during motion. Here is an example:
When I use the 1080p export setting in WLMM, the video comes out looking essentially the same as the original MTS files, like in this snapshot:
However, I have failed to find any settings in Premiere Elements that will give an equivalent result. Below is a snapshot from the Windows Media file I exported from Premiere:
And these are the settings I used:
My Equipment:
Canon Vixia HF200
Windows 7 x64
AMD Phenom II x4 945 3Ghz
4GB RAM
300GB 10K RPM HDD
ATI Radeon 4800 Series
Premiere Elements 8 trial
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response. I did go back and verify the project setting, and I think I was originally using the wrong project settings. This is what I'm using now for the project:
And then to share, I went to Personal Computer -> WMV, and selected these advanced settings:
Unfortunately, I still see the jagged horizontal lines like the original screenshot I posted. I tried playing with other video export settings (constant bit rate, at 8,000 and 20,000 also), and with variable constrained/unconstrained output. I'm really at a loss for what is going on. I did confirm that it doesn't have the horizontal lines if I encode to MPEG, but the WMV problem persists.

How to Transfer Windows Live .eml files to .pst mails to Outlook in MacBook Pro

I had been using a Vaio with Vista environemnt. My email software there was Windows Live Mail.
While changing to the MacBook Pro, I took a back up of all the folders and stored with on my MacBook Pro.
All the files here are .eml files.
On purchasing hte MacBook Pro, i also took Microsoft Outlook for Mac and have been using that for emailing.
But I cant transfer the .eml files to Outlook as it says I need a .pst file.
Have not been able to find a reliable (preferably free!) convertor.
Any help on changing the .eml files to .pst files on the Mac would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nitin.

Avi plays in Windows Live Movie Maker but probs in Quicktime and Premiere Pro

Hello,
I'm completely new to Premiere Pro and am trying to edit a recording of a webinar for work. I have it in both .avi and .wmv formats but can't import either into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 or CS5.5. They both play in Windows Media Centre, Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Media Player, but the audio is corrupted and no images appear when I play in Quicktime with the avi and when I try to play the wmv in Quicktime it says the file is not in a format that Quicktime understands. When I try to import either into Premiere Pro I get the error message "Unsupport format or Damaged File". I've used Gspot to determine that the codecs I need are installed and am at a loss in terms of what to do next. I've spent literally hours on this and would dearly love some help. Can anybody shed light on my problem? With many thanks in advance. Shan

Hi Jim,
It said 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3, 44100Hz 128 kb/s tot , Stereo for the audio
and H264, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC for the video.
Thanks for looking at this for me.

PE 8 crashes when opening project after loading Windows Live/Movie Maker

Have a new HP computer with Windows 7 and plenty of RAM/ROM. Loaded all the updates for Windows, PE 8.01, ATI, etc. but still crashed when I open a project. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks, then I loaded Windows Live/Movie Maker and now PE 8 is unhappy. Seems like lots of crashing issues but can't find this particular one. Reload PE 8? Remove Windows Live/Movie Maker? Thanks if you have some help.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows LIVE/Movie Maker is runnin
g like messenger and Office LIVE and that would be disturbing for
PE8... You can enter the pro
ccesses with ctrl-alt-del and kill the Movie Maker proccess manually (in the handler) in that case and you would not need to uninstall it but repeat killing the proccess every time for PE8.
Otherwise uninstalling LIVE Movie Maker should be fixing it if I take a guess, and I wonder doesn't you have Windows Movie Maker in the computer from start, why would you need/want Windows LIVE Movie Maker (at least my Vista has Movie Maker preinstalled)?

Songs don't show up in Windows Live Messenger after itunes 7.0.1 update

The topic line pretty much says it all. I've checked the settings in Messenger. I'm not sure the songs are supposed to show up in Messenger from itunes, but they always have and I like that feature.
Since updating itunes from 7.0 to 7.0.1 this feature doesn't work. I wonder why apple doesn't test their stuff before releasing it anymore. They're getting as bad as Microsoft anymore, which is a shame. I'm referring mainly to the larger problems with itunes 7 rather than my petty problem here.
Any help would be appreciated though. Thanks.

I had the same problem!!!!
in windows live messenger (msn 8.0) go 2 tool>options & make sure the show song information from WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER as a personal messeger box is ticked!
then sign out of the messenger, close it & itunes, then open up windows live messenger, sign in, then open itunes @ start playing ur songs!
this worked for me. hope it works for u.
good luck!

Windows XP to Windows 7 move of iTunes

I'm trying to move my iTunes library from an older desktop tower running Windows XP to a new small laptop running Windows 7. Over the years I've kept a USB hard drive in sync with the desktop holding a back up of the folder simply called iTunes. (contained all the media plus library, playlist, etc.. databases). Using the back up, I managed to get everything moved over. But now as I open iTunes in my new laptop, I see all my music, playlists, ratings, everything almost as if the laptop is taking it from where I left off in the desktop. Only, every item has an exclamation point marked to indicate the file cannot be found. It looks like a simple step I missed or have yet to take. I'm afraid that if I go "Add Folder To Library" and make iTunes look in the Music folder, my library will display everything twice and with ratings only on the non-functional listing. Obviously I'm not quite doing it right. I did this all correctly one other time after a computer crash, only by accident. Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Eric

How to migrate or transfer Windows Live email to OS X Yosemite, using Postbox

I just got an iMac and it didn't migrate my emails from my Windows PC; only some of them. I gave up on getting them into Apple Mail, but had Postbox (just Google it to find the download site) on my PC for another email account, so I was able to get Postbox on the Mac to accept emails from Postbox on Windows, which means you'll be using Postbox as your email client on your Mac. Here's what finally worked, after LOTS of trial and error, which I hope you won't have to repeat:
1. On the Windows 7 PC (? works with XP or Windows 8), rom Windows Live Mail (this was 2011 version), click on the blue square in the upper left corner and select Export email, and then select Email messages.
2. Choose Windows Live Mail for the program, then click Next.
3. Enter the name of folder where you want to export them to and click OK. I suggest making a New Folder (empty) on Desktop, and name it something to describe the group of email folders you want to transfer. I have a few groups of email master folders with subfolders, and so did this for each master folder. If you have only one master folder that contains all your email folders, then you'll only have to do this once. Then click Next.
4. In the next window that appears, select all the email folders within the master folder you want to transfer, then click Next.
5. When it finishes exporting, it will say so, and then click Finish. This can take many minutes or maybe an hour, depending on how many emails you are transferring.
6. Open Postbox on the Windows PC (free download for 30-day trial, and only $10 for license, so well worth it), and near the top on the left, highlight “Local Folders.” Then from the File menu select New and then Subfolder to create an email master folder in Local Folder section of Postbox. Select that folder so it's highlighted.
7. Select Tools in Postbox, then "Import all messages from a directory," then "also from its subdirectories." Then click on the master folder you created that contains all the email folders you just exported from Windows Live Mail. You'll see that there is a subfolder named something (mine says "Live ([name]), and another subfolder within that that is the name of the master folder that just received your export. Select this subfolder and click OK. (Within that are the subfolders corresponding to your Windows Live email folders.)
8. Within Postbox, right-click on the email master folder you created in step 6, then select Properties, and put your cursor inside the Location box. You'll probably have to scroll to the right as it will be a long path. (Mine is Users/[name]/AppData/Roaming/Postbox/Profiles/[long series of random letters and numbers]/Mail/Local Folders/[master email folder name]).
9. Open Windows Explorer and go to the folder in the Location box, and it will have an “sbd” extension in the folder name. Open that folder, select all the files in it and copy (ctrl-C) them.
10. Put an SD card or USB drive in your PC (formatted with exFAT, so the Mac can read it), and create a new folder with the same name as the master email folder. Paste all the copied files into that folder.
11. Eject the SD/USB and insert into your Mac.
12. Open Postbox on the Mac (free download, again).
13. If you’ve set up an email account in Postbox, select & highlight that account on the top left, otherwise select Local Folders. Maybe better to just select Local Folders as to not get into conflicts with your email account, especially if it’s IMAP, but I had problems with POP account, too.
14. From the File menu, select New and then Subfolder, and create a Subfolder with the name of your email master folder.
15. Highlight your new email master folder and repeat step 14 to create a new subfolder named “test” or something like that, which you’ll later delete. Then QUIT POSTBOX.
16. Repeat step 8 with your master email folder to find the location of this folder on your Mac, then open Finder and open that folder. There should be a subfolder there named “test”, which confirms that you’re in the right place.
17. Open another Finder window and select the SD/USB drive and the folder in it with your Windows email folders inside it. Highlight and copy (command-C) all the files within that folder, which will be named something like your Windows Live email folders, but maybe with random letters and numbers at the end.
18. Paste all those files into the master email folder in first Finder window. (This is the actual step of moving all your emails from your Windows PC to your Mac.)
19. Reopen Postbox, and you should see all your email folders (possibly with the random endings to their names) within the email master folder you created. If there are a lot of them, it may take Postbox a while to index them all.
20. To confirm that all your emails transferred, go back to Windows Live Mail on your Windows PC and right click all the email folders you just transferred, and click on Properties, where it will tell you how many messages are in that folder. Write down the number of messages for each folder you transferred.
21. On your Mac, select each folder, then highlight all the messages in each folder (select the first, the press Shift and select the last message). Then right-click on the highlighted messages and then click on Mark and then “Mark all as unread.” Then a number will appear to the right of the folder telling you the number of unread emails, which should equal the numbers you got from Windows Live email folder properties.
22. If the numbers aren’t equal, then I’m sorry, and it’s time to try it again or do some trial and error.
I tried many different approaches before arriving at this one, which consistently worked for me over and over. I hope it saves you all the trial and error time it took me. This is long and complicated, but not as long as trying a bunch of long and complicated methods that didn’t work. Now you can use Postbox as your email client on your Mac. Maybe there's a way to transfer them into Apple Mail, but Postbox is fine for me.

PS: The Mac folder where Postbox stores it's messages is inside the Library folder inside your User folder. Normally, the Library folder is invisible. To make it visible in Finder, I did what it said here:

Transfer a rented movie in iTunes to my AppleTV

I have a rented movie in iTunes. When Apple TV is highlighted under Devices and I click on Movies at the top, I get a place when I can move the movie to the right into the To Apple TV box. When I click on "Apply" in the lower right corner, however, I get an error message that I am not authorized on Apple TV.
How do I become authorized on

I use a program called FotoMagico to create .m4v files of the photos I take on trips and scans of 35 mm slides that I have taken over the years. After the files have been encoded they are downloaded to iTunes and synced to my Apple TV.
I also post the trip pictures on the Internet using the Host Excellence server. If you are interested, this is the trip Home Page:

How to stop audio from sputtering on Windows Live Movie Maker

I hope that I'm asking this in the right place. If not, if someone could direct me to the right place it would be greatly appreciated.
The video and audio in some of my videos are sputtering and spitting even though the sound is correct when I listen to them directly on the computer (not in MM.) If I split and delete all but a few seconds (:15 or so) off of the original video
it's "almost" okay in MM, but the longer the video, the bigger the problem. (More sputtering, longer pauses, video freezes but audio is fine, the whole thing is slow, etc...)
I have a combination of clips from an android (MP4) and iPhone (MOV) files that I am editing together.
I am using Windows 7 Professional and installed Movie Maker a few weeks ago. I can't tell which version I have, but assume it's the latest since I just downloaded it.
I've tried the FixIt link from some other suggestions in posts about the same problem, but it says there's nothing to fix. I don't understand what codec is.
Is there something simple I can do to smooth out the sound, or should I just use YouTube for the editing? (I plan to put this up on YouTube anyway.)
Thank you in advance for a speedy reply. (I originally asked this on August 22 in the Microsoft Community forums, but it FOREVER to get a reply from the moderator. He was giving good instructions, but I can't wait 48 hours to get a reply to a
question I have about his instructions.)

How do I transfer a rented movie on iTunes from my iMac to my MacBook Pro?

I got on my iMac today and rented a few movies thinking that iTunes would send them out to all my devices automatically. I have all the check boxes checked on all devices to download automatically. There are instructions for transfering from computer to a device but not how to do it from one computer to another.

Hi Claire,
Rentals can be downloaded from a computer to a device, but not to another computer. Here is the Apple Support article on Movie Rentals FYI:

Windows Live Movie Maker will not work

After downloadng Windows Essentials and the WMM I received this error message
Windows cannot access the specified device path or file.
You may not have the approprate permissons to access
the item
Tried downloading again as administrator with no success.

Hi,
I agree with
arnavsharma to run the WMM as administrator to see the results.
Also, I suggest you use Process monitor to capture the events when you repro this issue.
Process Monitor v3.05

If you find any file or registry key with access denied error, try following guide to fix it:
