i don't claim to be uber or anything.... but most of the people here wouldn't use windows movie maker..... if you're trying to mux the audio to the video use something like virtualdub or avimuxgui..... what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

As stated by Starwarsandrisk, there are many more sophisticated pieces of software to accomplish your task, but since you've started with Movie Maker and gotten stuck, you might want to stick it out and at least find your fix before moving on to bigger and better things.

I just opened up an old copy of Movie Maker and had no trouble adding an MP3 audio track, so I'd look at my audio files, first. Make sure they're playing properly in a software player before executing an import; back to basics, you know. :) I doubt that it's in play, but some older pieces of software had trouble recognizing filenames with special characters--I noticed that you have parentheses in the filename....and that it is gruesomely long, you might also simplify your naming conventions, if for nothing else, it might save you some eye strain.

It appears your audio files are stored on an "E" drive. If you're working with MMaker off your "C" drive, are you able to pull anything off the E drive? Got full drive recognition?

Downloading the latest version of MMaker might do the trick, your old copy could be corrupted...it happens.

Go back to the basics. Check your files, check your software. When all else fails, get in the help files and run a few googles. Bottom line is, sometimes you'll get a magic bullet, but most of the time, you simply have to roll up your sleeves and get dirty.

This should be fairly easy to track down, hang in there.

Hi!

What is the video format of the movie?

[akotaemo]

hi. the video format of the movie is avi. i want to copy and paste some scenes from the avi and blend the music with the edited avi. so i was asking that if there is a movie editor that is like movie maker? where you can fix the audio in place while editing the movie.
