| 778441 | 2009-05-30 23:58:00 | Hi guys, I'm wanting to add create a video using windows movie maker, but some of the videos are in formats like .mp4, .mov, .mkv, etc. Is there any way to make windows movie maker support these files, or do I have to find another video editor? If I do have to do the latter, are there any good free ones? I don't really want to have to go through the hassel of converting these videos to .wmv. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

This has been mentioned on here before (www.any-video-converter.com) Dont know how good it is, never tried it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 778443 | 2009-05-31 00:26:00 | If that doesn't work Handbrake certainly will convert them. Here is the supported file types from MM's help menu Supported file types You can add content to your Windows Movie Maker project either by capturing content directly in Windows Movie Maker or by importing existing digital media files. The content you capture in Windows Movie Maker is saved in Windows Media Format. However, you can also import existing Windows Media-based content as well as other common file formats. You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project: Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv |

| 778444 | 2009-05-31 00:41:00 | AFAIK The only was to do this is to convert it. Set up batch converting in handbrake and let it run overnight if its alot of videos Blam |

| 778447 | 2009-05-31 01:48:00 | I did a google search and found this (http://jahshaka.org/), but it wasn't really what I was after :(. I then had a look through some of the old PC world disks, and found a copy of Premier Elements 4. So I installed it and was hoping for the best, but when I wanted to start my 30 day trial, it gave me this (www.imagef1.net.nz)error :(. I might give Video spin a go tomorrow when our data cap has been reset. |
