Movie Maker won't import MP3 files "Gaylen Michael" <myfullname[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/6/2007 7:59:37 PM Hello, I have several customers who have all recently found a problem in Movie Maker not importing MP3 files which playback just fine in the WMP. Is it possible that Vista has screwed this up and gone backwards in functionality that existed in XP? Vista is really beginning to upset a lot of people out there it seems. I am praying this is not a bug of some sort in Vista, given that I praised the OS for it's multimedia editing features w/o testing them fully myself. I now have a customer asking me to get it off and install XP. I'm going to try this on my own Vista partition to see if it really is the case or not. Thx, Gaylen

Re: Movie Maker won't import MP3 files "Gaylen Michael" <myfullname[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/6/2007 8:55:54 PM I was able to successfully import an mp3 file into MM in Vista on my own machine. So, there's something wrong w/ their installations I assume. Any ideas out there on where to start w/ this issue? Is it a bitrate issue? All of these MP3 files in question have been ripped in WMP on the same Vista installation's respectfully that are trying to import the files into MM.

Cookies to donuts I'll bet they're trying to just drag and drop to the timeline and anal Movie Maker won't allow it. You need to import the file (click on Audio or Music, select file) then once it appears on screen as imported media THEN you can drag it to the timeline from there. I just tried to drag and drop directly to the timeline from the list of files (under import media items) and it just shows a red X when you try that.

Re: Movie Maker won't import MP3 files "Gaylen Michael" <myfullname[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/7/2007 2:14:44 PM Nope - I saw it w/ my own eyes. The user is actually importing the audio file and receiving an unspecified error in MM. "Adam Albright" <AA[ at ]ABC.net> wrote in message news:6det83hl42p6ih71qbprppr7r1ce4kr5kb[ at ]4ax.com...
