Best Answer

If you can see videos on Windows Media Player, then they are probably the correct file name extension (format), but not always. It is best to check the format before attempting to import it into Windows Movie Maker.

To check the file name extension (format), right-click the file and choose Properties from the drop-down menu. Note the extension (example: .wmv, .mpg).

If the file type is one of the following, it can be imported into Windows Movie Maker:

.asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

However, you can't just drag and drop the media from Windows Media Player into Windows Movie Maker. You must open the original file location of the media and import it that way.

How do you send a video from Windows Media Player to Windows Movie Maker?

The Windows Media Player video has to be an actual file to be imported into Windows Movie Maker (meaning you can't drag and drop it).Although I haven't tried it, I believe you can copy the file from Windows Media Player and paste it into Windows Movie Maker (but I don't know this for sure).The best way to get media from Windows Media Player is to ensure it is Saved in the Library. Then, open the file's location and import it that way.
