    Q: I can't play the created MP4 videos in the windows media player, what can i do?

    A: The old version(v11 or older) no this problem, but in YouTube Movie Maker v12(and future version), we cleaned all third-part codecs in our program Installation Package, that can keep your computer clean, but maybe you can't play the created MP4 videos in the windows media player(because windows media player doesn't support MP4 format well), for this problem, here are two solutions:

  • 1. Install a third-part codecs package(for example, K-Lite Codec Pack, etc.) by yourself, but please note, you'd better re-install our program again after installed the third-part codecs package.
  • 2. Don't use windows media player, please use our program built-in media player(EasyPlayer) to play the videos, it supports all video formats. Here are two ways to run EasyPlayer, please see below pics.
    Run from program Tools menu.
    run Easy Player from tools menu
    Run From windows start menu.
    run Easy Player from windows start menu

  • Q: After installed the third-part codec package(K-lite codec Package, etc.), I can't create video, or the created video no sound or no image, what can i do?

    A: It's the simple solution to re-install the program(unintall first, then install again), then try again, it will be OK. For this problem, just because the third-part codec package(K-lite codec Package, etc.) removed some required codecs, so next time if you viewed below messages when installing the third-part codec package(K-lite codec Package, etc.), please press "No", don't press "Yes", and that will avoid similar problem.
