How Can I Cut Videos?

Question

The Video I have is from a friend sent to me from AIM FILE TRANSFER. I now have it in my desktop its 10 minutes Long. I wish to cut it, But i dont know how. I have Windows Movie Maker but Everytime i drag the Vid from desktop This Thing pops out:"The file C:\Documents and Settings\EricMcKellan\Desktop\Movie_0003.wmv 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." I Have no idea what that means. I don't even know what a codec is. I'm just a 13 year old kid. If u guys know how to cut please tell me step by step, like 1)click that 2)click there. Just Like That. Answers will be appreciated. =] ..IM me if u want to help me more. [message me for screenname]

Ok here is what you do...go to windows media player(not movie maker) and play the clip. If it does not play there would be an X or and ! to show you there is an error. Clicl that and press web help. Then you must follow the stuff on the web pages to download this codec. With this codec you will be allowed to play this video. After that you must cut it in anyway u want in windows movie maker. Simple as that. If you have any question you can message me.

AVIcodec is a program that will analyze the video file and tell you which codecs are needed, and which ones you are missing. THEN, it will give you the link to the site where the codec is located, if you are in fact missing that particular one (click “web” button).

This come from Microsoft:
“Although you can play a file in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may not be able to import the file into Windows Movie Maker even though this article lists that kind of file. You may not be able to import the file if the codec that was used to encode the audio or video is not a codec that is included with Windows XP. In that case, you may be able to re-encode the video or audio by using Windows Media Encoder, and then import the video or audio. "

Answer 4

Ok, first of all, you need to know what kind of video file it is. The program is telling you that it does not recognize the format. I recommend going to File>Import Into Collections to make sure it really does not work. I have never dragged a file into Movie Maker. Hopefully this helps. Unless the file has a wierd file extension, Movie Maker should be able to open it this way.

Answer 5

i think of you could replace yet another converter, RZ Video Converter can convert any movies or audios between diverse codecs without time shrink, yet there is the watermark, rigister version without watermark. you're able to have a attempt, Yahoo or google seek and get carry of it, wish that is going to help.
