Windows DVD Maker is included in the following operating systems: Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 7 Ultimate To record video from a webcam, Movie Maker must be running on Windows 7. The types of video and audio files you can use in Movie Maker depend on which version and edition of Windows that your PC is running. For more information, see the next section of this handout, What kind of files can I use in Movie Maker? Memory: 1 GB of RAM (2 GB of RAM or higher is recommended when editing HD (highdefinition) video) Processor: 2.4 GHz (single processor) or higher (a dual-core processor or higher is recommended when editing HD video) Internet browser: Internet Explorer 7 (or later), Mozilla Firefox (or later), or Safari 3.1 (or later) Internet connection: Internet functionality requires dial-up or broadband Internet access (provided separately). Local or long-distance charges might apply. Graphics or video card: Video card or video driver that supports Microsoft DirectX 9.0c (or later) and Pixel Shader 2.0 (or later). For DirectX 9 hardware on Windows 7, go to Windows Update at: To open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool in Windows 7, click the Start button, type dxdiag in the search box, and then, in the list of results, click dxdiag. Click the Display tab, and then look at the value for DDI Version. To open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, tap or click Start in the lower-left corner of the screen, start typing dxdiag, and then click dxdiag in the list of results. Click the System tab, and then look at the value for DirectX Version. 3

In some cases, the DirectX Diagnostic Tool might not report the Device Driver Interface (DDI) version correctly. For more information, see the article about the DDI version appearing as 9Ex on the Microsoft Support website: What Kind of Files can I use in Movie Maker? You can add the following types of video, photo, and audio files to Movie Maker. Project Files Project File Types (format) File Name Extensions Windows Movie Maker project files.mswmm Movie Maker project files.wlmp Video Files Video File Types (format) File Name Extensions Windows Media Video (WMV) files.wmv Windows Media files.asf and.wm AVCHD files.m2ts,.mts, and.m2t Apple QuickTime files.mov and.qt DV-AVI files.avi Microsoft Recorded TV Show files.dvr-ms and.wtv MPEG-4 movie files.mp4,.mov,.m4v,.3gp,.3g2, and.k3g MPEG-2 movie files.mpeg,.mpg,.mpe,.m1v,.mp2,.mpv2,.mod,.vob, and.m2t MPEG-1 movie files.m1v Motion JPEG files.avi and.mov 4

5 Notes: Video files that use digital rights management (DRM) can't be used in Movie Maker. Support for using MPEG-2 and Microsoft Recorded TV Show video files in your movie is available only if your computer is running one of the following editions of Windows: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Vista Home Premium, or Windows Vista Ultimate. AVCHD video files that contain Dolby Digital audio can be used in Movie Maker if your computer is running one of the following editions of Windows: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 7 Ultimate. MPEG-4 video files that contain AAC audio can be used if you're using Movie Maker on a computer running Windows 7. 3GPP and 3GPP2 video files that are often recorded on a mobile phone can be used in Movie Maker if the file contains MPEG-4 video, AAC audio, and if Movie Maker is installed on a computer running Windows 7. 3GPP video files might contain AMR audio and 3GPP2 files might contain AMR or QCELP audio instead. In these cases, the video will often play, but the audio won't. Files that contain H.263 video might not play in Movie Maker without installing additional codecs. Some MPEG-4 video files can be used when you're using Movie Maker on a computer running Windows Vista if the necessary audio and video codecs are installed. For more information about video and audio codecs, as well as determining which codecs are installed on your computer and used in a particular video file, see Codecs: frequently asked questions on the Windows website.
