[Answer]Can't Import Movies In Movie Maker

Question:I'm trying to import both avi and wmv into Movie Maker but it keeps telling me that it can't find the necessary codecs. I'm trying to fix a file's aspect ratio but Movie Maker won't tell me which codecs I need to make it possible to import the wmv and avi files. Can anyone help ?

You can use the free utility GSpot to identify the codec you
need for .avi files:

It may be worth a try to install the following Codec Pack:
