I created a movie with pictures, video and music.  Everything is perfect when viewing it in movie maker.  When I "Save Movie" with "Burn DVD" as the settings, it goes through the whole process of encoding, finishing, burning, etc.  When I view the .wmv file in windows media player on the same computer or try to view the dvd, everything is just black.  The audio and music play fine -just no pictures or video!!! 

Please help!  trying to get this done for a sports banquet tonight!!!

Thank you!!

Photo won't open but displays photos on the start screen,

Mail Says it cannot sync,

Calendar is hit and miss with syncing,

Photo Gallery won't open,

Windows Media Player doesn't recognise where my music files are.

All the above programs were working fine(ish) and then for no apparent reason they all started playing up/stopped working, even though no settings were changed.

(Mail has always been glitchy)

Using Windows 8.1 (Windows 7 + Windows 8 upgrade disc + Windows 8.1 upgrade through the Store)

So there I was flicking through my photos with Photo Gallery when all of a sudden and without warning they all disappeared. Every single one of them.

It then brought up a dialogue box citing error code 0x8007000b.

Then I tried to access the photographs with the Windows 8.1 Photos App but that couldn't find them either, (even though the app had showed them 10 minutes earlier) citing a dialogue box saying "pictures.library-ms" is no longer working. This library can be safely deleted from your PC. Folders that have been included will not be affected.

Both programs had been working fine and no changes had been made to any settings etc..

I have un-installed and re-installed Photo gallery but it continues to give code 0x8007000b and will not open.

It doesn't look as though the Photos app can be un-installed either.?.

The photos are stored both on my computer and Skydrive. Thankfully Skydrive hasn't lost them.

Also all of my music has disappeared from Windows Media Player.

Why is there no facility to repair these apps when they crash; Mail, Calendar and people etc.?

There is only so many times you can reformat your hard drive, and it is a pain when you don't just have the 8.1 disc but have to do this: Using Windows 8.1 (Windows 7 + Windows 8 upgrade disc + Windows 8.1 upgrade through the Store)

Your help would be appreciated.

sound is too fast playing utube plus windows media player videos

I have Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 with an intel corei7.  Windows Media Player plays all my .mp3 files and .wma files fine.  However, after importing .mp3 or .wma files into windows live movie maker 2012, I cannot hear the audio.  I imported 6 pictures and an .mp3 file and created a movie and then tried to play it using Windows Media Player.  The audio played fine in the completed file in Windows Media Player, so the issue seems to be with Windows Live Movie Maker.  Does anyone know what the solution to this problem is? 


I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Live Movie Maker and that did not help.  I made sure that I had all critical windows updates installed also.  There are 4 optional updates that I have not installed (Silver Light, 8.1 system update, Bing desktop and bing search bar).  I doubt these will change my audio issue in Windows Movie Maker 2012.


Do you know of something I could try?

I have previously used windows movie maker (a previous version of it from a year or two ago) and loved it.  Recently in my new job on windows 7 64 bit I installed the latest version.  I have been unable to get movie maker to play my videos with the audio and video sync'd properly.  Same is true in windows media player.

I was able to get quicktime to play the videos properly, so I know the videos are not the problem.  

I saw a previous question on this forum that suggested updating the codec.  When I installed the recommended codec update for my computer (from HP), my microphone on the laptop stopped working, and the videos still did not sync properly on movie maker or windows media player.  So I uninstalled the update.

I really do not want to have to start using a different movie editor.  Please help me find a solution. thank you for your help!

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. Intel Core i3 2.53ghz 3.00gb ram

The problem: Windows Media Player plays sound not video, just displays the first frame. WINDOWS LIVE MovieMaker has a system error "The progam can't start because d3dx10_41.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
Windows Live Photo Gallery will not display pictures " Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error loading WLXPhotoViewer.dll and can't start. Error code 0x8007007e"

Noticed this issue soon after using my TV as a second screen via HDMI.
Is there a simple solution to this? Like re-installing the Display Adapter? 

As Live Movie Maker cannot be made to work for more than a few moments on my laptop I have downloaded Movie Maker 2012 but get a message saying my pc may not meet system requirements or video cards may be out of date.

 

My machine relevent details are:

 

Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Memory : 4.00 (2.93 usable)

Processor : 2.53 Ghz

Browser : IE 8.0

Photo Gallery and Windows Media Player are installed

which all seem to match or are above the requirements stated in various answers.

 

I have looked at a number of video card help pages and am thoroughly confused.

My processor is Intel(R) Core(TM)i5 CPU

DirectX version : DirectX 11

DDI version : 10

 

Which, if any, of these parameters is not suitable for Movie Maker 12?  If the video card needs updating please point me to a specific site telling me exactly which card to install.

 

 

Hello, I just bought a PC with windows 8. It also came with a CyberLink program to watch DVDs and Mpeg files. I have stored, over the years lots of MPEG 2 files. These MPEG 2 files I can see in CyberLink DVD player, in Windows Media Player but when I add these files to the timeline of the MovieMaker, only the sound works and the video is completely blank (black screen). In XP Home edition, which I had previously, I had the same problem with the MovieMaker: that MovieMaker accepted only AVI files. 
Because my old Pinnacle studio 9 with XP Home edition does not work on this new Windows 8 anymore, I cannot convert MPEG2 files to AVI files (as I did before, with Pinnacle Studio 9). 
Could anyone help me elucidate this problem?
In the specs of the movie maker is written that it accepts MPEG 2 files. Confusion, then!!!
Thank you.
I had problems opening my dvds into movie maker, so in search for information, I found this Microsoft site with information on how to proceed.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/answers?tId=a92f4f29-8ac6-4216-b18b-c3e8ae332632

In this discussion there was reference to converting my files using a program called Freemaker video converter, I did that and only one DVD converted properly and now I'm left with no software to do this.  I did try to open DVD in windows media player and hope that would work, but it does not read my disc.  I have windows 8.1 operating system and since this is a new computer I'm hesitant to just start downloading programs/software for this OS without knowing they will work.  

Can you offer a suggestion?

My System: Windows & Home Premium 64 bit Windows Live Movie Maker 2011.
