WinXP Movie Maker Codec Error
- by Bob Rivers
I'm trying to use Windows XP Movie Maker, but when I try to import an AVI video, it shows an error telling me that it wasn't import due to an the fact that the codec wasn't available (I'm able to see the video using the windows media player)
First, the error message suggested to enable the option "download codecs automatically" under "tools options general". I did it. But know the error tells me that the codec wasn't available and, if I already installed it, I should reinitialize movie maker. I also already did it...
The error msg is:
The file D:\movie1.avi 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.
Any hints?
