YouTube video conversion


Recommended Posts

hmmm Movie Maker is giving me this error even though VLC Player is capable of playing the .webm files.


"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."

VLC can play hieroglyphics, but that isn't helping you at the moment. You need to convert the file to a format that Movie Maker can read (.MOV I think?) or see if there's a setting in Ant that will allow you to change the format as I can't remember at the moment. I think you can convert the file in VLC...

I just usually hit [url="http://keepvid.com/"]http://keepvid.com/[/url] and then paste the url. It'll allow you to download some different formats.

Cyberlink Power Director is a great program and it won't cost you half your ass to get it.

you can also download a 30 day trial of this software. It works fine but there is a watermark for the first 10 seconds of the video, up in the top left corner. As you can see in my award winning video below. hahahaha!!!

finally tried this tonight. Took nearly 2 hours to download and install and still wouldn't work on the files.

Thanks though.

You should be able to convert it out of VLC. Open VLC, Click the media tab, and near the bottom is Convert/Save. At least it's there on mine. Click that and it lets you browse for your file and has several conversion options.

yea I saw that awhile back but it wouldn't work.

I found a converter lastnight that would cooperate so I was able to convert the .mp4's into .wmv's. Now I'm just working on burning them into a DVD that will work in a DVD player.
