Answer 1

I have done the same thing. What you do is open that movie with the movie maker. click on FILE, SAVE MOVIE FILE, and then this movie saveing wizard comes up. just click on WMV when it asks you for the format. That should be it.

Answer 2

Hi

Ok first , you need to open windows media player , then play it , stop and save it has a wmv format , now if that dosent work , download winamp and do the same , The point here is that you have to save the file WITH the extension wmv , now also , try to do a convert format , for that here is the site http://www.connectedhomemag.com/visual/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=22657

Answer 3

.mswmm is your project file, not a movie file. You need to go to File > Save Movie File. There you can save as .wmv or dv-avi. That you can change to a .mpeg if you find the right encoder/converter program.

Answer 4

Just get a video converter like roxio video wave 9 (best one n easy for beginners) or u can search in yahoo/google for video converters.

if u wnt to convert it directly then, go to file>click Save movie file in windows movie maker.

Answer 5

Get a Video Converter, I suggest go to www.download.com and search for a video converter on their, some have limitations like only 1/2 of movie or Watermark on output, well there is some that convert the whole thing... I would download that one lol.

Their you go! :D

Answer 6

open it in movie maker > drag the movie in to story line (which i think you have done)> just below the filw meny click on 'task'>task will apear on left hand side>click on )finish movie option 3)>click on save to my computer. a window will apear and will guide you thru
the saved movie wll be in wmv format
do not save the project in file meny as it will save it in project format

Sorry Movie Make is very basic. You could try this one.
