videos won't play in Windows Movie Maker

Post by pouar »

I googled for this but couldn't find an answer, movies play fine in WMP but in Windows Movie Maker it says every single video is either corrupt or the format isn't regonized, error 0x87160139. it works fine when running Windows natively but not when running a Windows Guest.

Maybe not compatible to the vbox graphic. Install guest additions in safe mode and activate 3d for the guest. For details look into the user manual.
