Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / September 2008Windows movie maker is giving me a message and I cant open my doc.
About a week ago I made a movie on the movie maker and burnt it onto a dvd. The dvd works still but when I try to open the file on movie maker from the hard drive it gives me the message the file C:\Users\user\Videos\highschooldvd.MSWMM cannot be opened because it is not a valid Windows Movie Maker project file. I dont understand because it is in the MSWMM format. Can you help? I want to make more copies of my dvd. That is weird. You haven't moved or deleted it by mistake have you? Could you just copy your dvd using your dvd burning software?

I want to make more copies of my dvd. I am having this problem. I have previously published 2 DVD's. I have just created another movie, but this time with music. I saved the file and now it won't let me open it up either in Windows Vista Movie Maker or Windows Vista DVD Maker. It says that it is not a valid windows Movie Maker Project file. But it is saved with *.mswmm extension. I have downloaded Vista Codec, shut down my computer and rebooted and I still can't open the file. I'm very frustrated with this and desperately do not want to spend another day putting together this 15 minute movie. Any help would be appreciated. HELP! Signaturebnana > I am having this problem.

HELP! =========================================== Maybe there is an issue with an incompatible source file: Have a look at the following articles: File type compatibility with Movie Maker http://tinyurl.com/v8tee or... http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/MovieMaker/File_type_compatibility.htm Which file type should I use in Movie Maker? http://tinyurl.com/6n66g3 or... http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/MovieMaker/WhichFileTypeInMovieMaker.htm SignatureJohn Inzer MS Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk None of these websites helped.

There are many varieties of .avi and it may be worth a try to use a .wav file for your audio.

But in case it corrupts again, how would I convert my .avi file type to dv.avi? Signaturebnana YOu need to find out what sort of avi file it is. http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/avicodec.html Then use an app which will convert that file type to WMV, which would be my choice of conversion, as dv.avi is not a file type that most conversion apps will convert to. http://www.myvideoproblems.com/WebPages/UsefulProgrammes.htm SignatureGraham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com > I am recreating the project.
