Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / May 2008Windows Movie Maker Help
I was trying to import some videos I downloaded online and it says, "The file C:\Users\Rosalie\Downloads\[DB]_Naruto_Shippuuden_010_[EC7747DE].zip cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again." But, I already installed the DivX codec that the website I downloaded the clip from recommended and I tried restarting WMM. I know that I did this before on my old computer. I downloaded videos from the same website, and I had to download the DivX codec. Once I downloaded the codec, the files worked, and i was able to download them. Does anyone know why it won't work for me now? Could it have anything to do with the files having been downloaded as zipped folders? Yes, you need to unzip them first, but even then you were lucky that you could use divx files in MM, as this is often not the case.

Just double click it in Explorer to start the extraction process. Do you have antivirus software installed? The original version of those files always come as AVI, not ZIP. That makes it suspicious as it has been modified by someone. Unless you've worked with those files before you'll also need the XVID Codec to decode or play them. The FFDSHOW filter would do the job as well, for XVID and many other codecs that are used in AVIs and other media file types. > Thank you for your help!

Well, when I double click it, it tries to open up in WWM. What do you mean by in Explorer? And I believe I have antivirus software installed, or I did once. I think I can check my computer for viruses though, so if I find anything I'll know where its from. Thanks for the heads up! > Just double click it in Explorer to start the extraction process.

FYI, those animes prefixed [DB] come from these folks: http://www.dattebayo.com/ You can get the files directly, in AVI format, using a bittorrent client to download with. > Nevermind!

The trouble comes from the choice of files you choose to download. There are lots of legal file downloads, probably even more illicit ones. In this case it is exactly the same video content as in your zip file so there's no difference except in how you acquired the file... and fansubs are in a gray area. If the content owner asks, the high profile fansub groups generally stop making and distributing the files. Many of them stop immediately when an anime title is licensed by some party for distribution in their geographic area. Fake files and infected ones are different issues but getting the torrents direct from the source reduces that risk considerably. >I thought you could get in trouble using bittorrents? > [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] >> >> > >> > been >> >> > >> > downloaded as zipped folders? Wow, you know a lot! :) Thanks for that! I'll start looking into torrents now. > The trouble comes from the choice of files you choose to download.

Was just curious how some of the high profile fansub groups have been operating in the open for so many years apparently without being hassled. It might not be legal for you to have any downloaded copy at all, I don't know. Actually I'm almost surprised that the companies that make the animes don't distribute their own DRM protected subtitled versions themselves, over BT or whatever method. > Wow, you know a lot! :) Thanks for that!

Yeah, I don't think companies like DB should be hassled for subbing since nobody else does it. If the anime companies subbed it themselves for distribution, then it would be a problem. I hope I don't get in any trouble for downloading them =/ > Not really.
