Guest Katie Grant needs help! Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 HELP ME PLEASE!! I dont know what I'm doing and this video must be edited by tonight. Every clip is in MPG format. I already tried to download and install the codec by going to options..general..download codacs automatically. I just want to import the clips but it keeps telling me this... "The file \\Generaladmin\videos\Morton Video\M2U00755.MPG 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."

From a John Inzer post in WMM news groiup ......................................................................... WMM has problems with mpg files. Maybe these articles will offer some ideas: Movie Maker 2 - Importing MPEG Files http://tinyurl.com/eajjh File type compatibility with Movie Maker http://tinyurl.com/v8tee Also: How do I convert an mpeg to WMV with Windows Media Encoder? http://tinyurl.com/2m4gob ..................................................................................
