All you need to do is convert the flip video to one of the file name extensions (formats) used by Windows Movie Maker:

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

Free video converters are available online. Simply Google: free video converters and download one. Once you have a video converter installed on your computer, open the program.

Locate the Flip video and add it to the conversion list. Change the Output Source Format to one of the file name extensions listed above. Be sure to choose your Output Path (saving destination) as well. Click Convert.

If the conversion is successful, you will be able to import/edit the video in Windows Movie Maker.

Insignia NS-DV720P hd camera and when you try to import videos from files from your camera is says you need to download codec for windows movie maker?

The camera files use a different file name extension (format) than Windows Movie Maker does. In other words, the camera's files are not compatible with the program. You can either download the K-Lite Standard Codec Package (Google it). Perhaps the codec package contains the one you need to read the camera file. If that doesn't work, download a free video converter from online and convert the camera file to one compatible with Windows Movie Maker.


Your camera keeps saying something about needing a codec when you upload videos to your computer It only plays the sound of the videos what should you do?

In your situation, a `codec' is an application you need to download to your computer and install. CODEC is an acronym for Encoder/Decoder. Many video programs use different systems to capturing the video. It's the codec's job to do the conversion for your computer to be able to display it. Here's what I'd do if it were me: First, I'd go to a search engine like Google. In the search box, I'd enter the name of the codec and then just click the search button. After that, you should find your choice of codecs available from the sites that have it for down load. Then again, you could probably just go to the camera manufacturer's website and just download it from there.

How do you fix the Sid erorr window DVD maker?

The problem is linked to filter and codec you have installed on your computer. For anyone that have windows vista premium and use windows DVD maker to burn DVD. This is the exact solution to resolve the problem: The filter and codec I installed on my computer was vista codec pack. Maybe some of you installed the same one. The problem comes from this codec pack. You need to remove that pack in the unistall program section. After this, you install this codec pack that works for me and my father and did not cause the SID problem. Install the K-lite mega codec pack (compatible with vista) that you can found here: http://codecguide.com/download_mega.htm For anyone that have the same problem on other burner software and on windows xp, try to install an another codec but you can choose the same one because this codec is windows xp compatible.
