Windows Movie Maker- Codec help, please!
I have recorded some clips using my best quality cam and the files saved as Mp4. (I used to use my mid-quality cam, the files saved as wmv.) Problem is, my Windows Movie Maker (on Vista) doesn't have the codec to run Mp4 files at all - I tried running them in Media Player and nope, still doesn't work.
I've tried Googling but have no idea what I'm sposed to be looking for/downloading - any ideas?

I think you have the wrong version there.
This thread says that for vista wmm to work with mp4 to install 2011 windows live movie maker. (You can have both versions - I have 3 different ones and use them all for diff. things).

(I tried using the Movie Maker on my Windows 10 machine, but it's more complicated than the version on my Vista machine!)
EDITED: It's no longer available :(

I downloaded the K-Lite Codec tweak pack, which has enabled Media Player to play the vids, but in Movie Maker I'm only getting audio. I dunno what I'm doing wrong. (I dunno WHAT I'm doing, period!)
EDITED - I had to do a system restore because this made my movie maker not work at all.

Sorted. I downloaded a file converter, which works :thumbsup: http://www.any-video-converter.com/d...d-avc-free.php (I chose Custom installation so that I didn't get lumbered with the free add-ons.)
Can get on with things now.
EDITED: nope. The converter works but when I try to "publish movie" the image gets stuck at exactly the same point!!!

I don't really know what to say, but since I recommended the AVC, I have this version of WMM: http://windows-movie-maker.en.softonic.com/ (version 16.4.3528.331). I can save as MP4, edit MP4, save as WMV in WMM and then convert to MP4 and then edit the video again. Maybe you just have that one weird version that sucks? You'd have to fully uninstall WMM and install this new one.
If that doesn't work then I am not sure.

Avs4 is cheap and has loads of tools babe. Works direct with loads of file formats and allows animated gifs and all sorts. I couldnt get moviemaker to work with. Flv files at all.
