cant import video ~please help!~

[Guest]

am trying to import a .wmv file into windows movie maker but an error keeps
popping up saying:

___.WMV IS NOT INDEXED AND CANNOT BE IMPORTED

what does this mean?
i can usually import video files fine...

thanks in advance

see the Importing Source Files > Video > WMV page of my site.... there's a
section about indexing and how to re-index.

file editor for it to be indexed

Try using Windows Media Encoder instead of Windows File Editor.
