Title: Importing Music to Windows Movie Maker
Post by: shotgunneeley on February 06, 2011, 10:56:51 PM: I'm going to be making a film largely using footage from the current BoG scenario. I have a song on my itunes library i want to import into movie maker, but it doesn't support the file type (mpeg-4 audio file). Any suggestions?

It says there are no burn limits and the songs will play on all ipods, mac and windows computers, and other digital music players. To my understanding, that means I'm clear, correct? I sure don't want to violate any copyright laws, I'll drop it all together before that happens.

Just tested it myself actually because I usually use SUPER only for video transcoding, but it works on audio just fine. Just select the correct "audio only" output options.
