I'm pretty sure AMVapp killed my WMM.

Although WMM is no angel, now mine's really got problems.

It worked as well as WMM will work since I began making AMVs.

Last night, I downloaded and installed AMVapp to rip some videos in preparation for a new AMV that I am planning to make. Ever since doing this, my WMM has been nothing but a huge problem.

First, it would close automatically after opening a project or importing some files into it. I uninstalled AMVapp and it stopped closing itself and I thought my problems were solved.

But now, I have another problem.

Either after I open an existing project or import files into my collection, my WMM locks up for a moment, and then I get the message that an error has occurred and I need to close WMM, and I get the option of sending an error report.

My WMM never had this problem until I installed AMVapp.

Does anything know how I can fix this so I can resume making AMVs?

Did you install ffdshow as part of the AMVapp? If so, I highly recommend going into the ffdshow settings and disabling its support for every codec that you already have separately (both video AND audio codecs).

I did.

But I uninstalled AMVapp, so how would I disable ffdshow now?

also this one:

if you install the ffdshow make sure you to config your FFDshow on your start menu. hot to do that here:

Code: Select all

start menu >> open all programs >>> look for your ffdshow then click one of that to config.

hope this one will help you.

I looked in the configuration and I can't figure out how to disable ffdshow.

Can I get a clear explaination please? I'm a newbie.

Okay, when you go into the ffdshow video decoder configuration, you see a table on the right side of the window, right? And it's got three columns: Format, Decoder, and Supported FourCCs/remarks.

Every time you see a codec in the Format column that you already have as a separate codec, click its corresponding value in the Decoder column and a drop-down box should appear. Use it to select "disabled".

Hmm.

Maybe my WMM has just seen it's final days.

I disabled the codecs like the steps told, that didn't help.

I uninstalled AMVapp and all it's parts, that didn't help.

I restarted my computer, that didn't help.

then try to updated your windows and it's included the wmm will be updated into your window

guess I will say if you use window movie maker try to accept that program is really a buggy and it's suxz believe me I been there for couples of years until I finally get new program.

Still not solution to my problem. X.X

I have accepted that WMM is really buggy because I've made four AMVs and two other videos with it.

The problem is I can't even use WMM because of the problem I am having. I either try and open a project and it has to close because of an error, or I try and put a clip on the storyboard and it closes because of an error.

WMM is the only program I have to make AMVs.
