Windows movie maker/ windows media center question

I have a camera that records video in .mov .h264 format that I save on my pc using windows live movie maker. It converts it to a wmv video format still in the 1080P resolution it was shot in. The question I have is that when I go to burn these files to a dvd using windows media center does the resulting video end up down converted to standard definition instead of the HD it was saved as. Is there something I have to change in the settings on windows media center to be able to burn these files in same 1080P resolution it was filmed in, or do I have to convert the .mov files to something other than Windows media video to be able to keep the HD quality, or do I need a different burner other than DVD(blu-ray) for example to be able to burn these files. I have a blu-ray player.

I'll let others answer the question on Windows Movie Maker...
Keep in mind if you put an HD video on a DVD... not all DVD players will support it.  You may wish to burn to a Blu-Ray disk.
Personally I use Premiere Elements or Pinnacle Studio.  I create an MP4 file and then save it to a DVD for those without Blue-Ray

    Okay thanks but what about if I'm trying to do a music lyric video is that illegal or legal?
    Princess of Music,
    If you obtained the music from a CD or an online download store, then you may use it for personal non-commercial purposes.
    If you are using the music (or the movie that uses the music) for other purposes, you must obtain proper licensing.

  • I want to use finished animations in Windows Movie Maker

    I use Flash cs6 and I have finished my first animation and want to finish the whole video on Windows Media Player.
    - I have tried Publishing it in different files. Non are accepted in the program.
    - I have tried Exporting it in different files. Still non are accepted in the program.
    - And I have tried using video converters (so far they were pretty rubbish). The files aren't accepted by the converters.
    Please help, I wanted to finish this all before a week ago :/

    what do you mean by, "...finish the whole video in windows media player"?
    win media player only plays certain video file types (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-types-supported-media-center#1TC=windows-7) and flash can only export certain video file types, but i don't think you can do any editing in win media player.
    if you mean win movie maker (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq) like your title suggests, mov files are supported by both (win movie maker and flash) though you will probably need quicktime installed on your win system to use it.

  • Help: DV Windows Movie Maker - M4V for iPod 640x480 QuickTime Pro

    Good morning,
    I have a few home videos on a 300GB hard drive, originally taken with my PAL DV camcorder, saved as AVI files using Windows Movie Maker when I was still using my Windows XP system for video editing, which I would like to convert to H.264 for long term storage on my Mac and view on my video capable iPod.
    I am working on an Intel processor based computer with a registered version of QuickTime Pro and an up-to-date operating system.
    Opening the files in QuickTime Player and inspecting them via the traditional Movie Info window reports the expected information:
    Format: DV, 720 x 576 (768 x 576), Millions, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    FPS: 25
    If I attempt to convert them to my target format of choice using a simple File -> Export -> Movie to iPod, I get, of course, an interlaced video which I promptly File -> Move to Trash.
    If I convert them to an intermediate QuickTime format ("Move to QuickTime Movie", mov, Options -> Size -> Deinterlace source video) and then transcode them via the aforementioned "Move to iPod" method, I get good quality m4v files for the size, which play on my iPod, fully satisfying my quality requirements.
    This intermediate step is time consuming though, and I am sure unnecessary, and I am looking for a more elegant way of accomplishing the above. I have limited time to investigate this personally so I am asking for a little help, which I am prepare to reward.
    After having looked at the published iPod specifications, I have tried to File -> Export -> Movie to QuickTime Movie and manually applying encoding settings as follows:
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame rate: Current fps
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Enabled
    Data Rate: Restrict to 1500 kbits/sec (inspired by the spec)
    Encoding: Best Quality (multi-pass)
    Optimised for: CD/DVD-ROM
    Size: Dimensions 640 x 480 VGA (Deinterlace Source Video)
    The resulting video file does not play back on my iPod and is inferior in quality to those I produce through the intermediate step described previously.
    Questions:
    1) how can I encode and deinterlace PAL DV videos for H.264 storage and iPod playback in 640x480 in one go?
    2) how do I get the best quality/size ratio I possibly can out of process 1) ?
    3) is there any way to batch process multiple files in a given folder?
    Many thanks in advance for your help!
    best regards,

    Thanks for you post, Jon, but my questions remain largely unanswered.
    Sorry, must have been half asleep when I attempted to respond.
    After having looked at the published iPod specifications, I have tried to File -> Export -> Movie to QuickTime Movie and manually applying encoding settings as follows:
    Compression Type: H.264
    Frame rate: Current fps
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: Enabled
    Data Rate: Restrict to 1500 kbits/sec (inspired by the spec)
    Encoding: Best Quality (multi-pass)

    The resulting video file does not play back on my iPod and is inferior in quality to those I produce through the intermediate step described previously.
    This approach does not work because neither the "Movie to QT > H.264" nor the "Movie to MPEG-4" have access to the Baseline LC profile. Only Mac applications I know of that currently access this profile are the current QT Pro/iTunes, ViddyUp! (v1.7), and ffmpegX (v0.0.9x).
    1) I have downloaded Streamclip and tried to do as you suggested but the output video still doesn't play on my iPod. Again, I am looking for a tested workflow which would spare me the time it takes to get fully acquainted with the intricacies of H.264 profiles. I will certainly want to learn more about this in the near future, but for the time being I just need a solution to convert my media catalogue.
    Sorry, was concentrating so much on the de-interlace issue that I completely forgot you wanted an iPod compatible target file. Only Mac application that seems to offer both de-interlace and direct Baseline LC profile is ffmpegX v0.0.9x. Have not used the de-interlace feature in this application, so I don't know how well it works. (In addition, its crop/scale option does not work to my satisfaction nor does it allow me to source multiple VOB files or a single VOB in excess of 4 GBs.) On the other hand, I do use de-interlace in MPEG streamclip on a regular basis and, while it is a bit "soft," have found it satisfactory. However, I create a QT DV/DVPRO intermediate file which is crop/scaled and make brightness, contrast, saturation and/or volume adjustments "on the fly" at the same time. Using this format is much quicker than encoding to H.264 twice.
    2) If I am to believe the published iPod specs, your suggestion would not work on one, at least not on the current generation.
    Yes, really blew it there thinking all you wanted was an H.264/AAC file that did not need to be iPod compatible.
    3) Parallel processing results in thrashing of resources, I believe for these scenarios enqueueing works better.
    Have not encountered any serious problems using this approach on the G5. Believe it does increase processing time to a small degree while "thrashing between resources," but comes in handy when converting a series of files while I go to a doctor's appointment (did 4 Doctor Who episodes on Tuesday this way), go shopping, pay bills, etc.

  • 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.
    * As always, exercise caution when using Shareware. So far my own experience has been good.

    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.

  • Windows Movie Maker won't play on DVD player

    I have the OS7 now
    The instruction say that a burned MASTER disc will play on DVD players and most computers???
     I have used Mp4 and WMV formats with Windows Movie Maker, but none will play on DVD players but play well on computers???
    I had formally use the Windows DVD Maker and the final file was UBF which seemed to work on all players and computers. My DVD Maker will not allow completion of Movie, it  notes, " I need the proper codes to make it work"??
    I have looked on the Microsoft site for these support codes but cannot find them??? Windows Movie worked well on my Vista OS. What has MS done to screw up this software???
    WGC_BAC

    You need to read the owner's manual for your DVD player to find out exactly what video formats it will play.  Then you must ensure you record your video to DVD in a format that is recognized by your DVD player.  The Windows 7 Windows Movie Maker
    may have a different default video format output that what you were using in Vista.  You have the option to specify the format of the video you record to DVD.

  • 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 !!

    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....

  • I can't import my itunes music into Windows Movie Maker

    All my itunes songs are protected ACC files and I was wondering if there was any way to convert them to a different file type to work with Windows movie maker.

    Have yourelf a seat and look at this post .
    Although the question is about a cell phone, the answer is applicable to your situation as well.

Maybe you are looking for
