Answer 1

Creating the final movie

When you finish your edits and are satisfied with the final version, you need to convert your Windows Movie Maker project into a movie that the Windows Media Player can use. To do this, choose File-->Save Movie on the menu bar (Ctrl+M) or click the Save Movie button on the Project toolbar (be sure that you don't use File-->Save Project because that action saves the project file only for playing in Windows Movie Maker).

In the Save Movie dialog box that then opens, choose the playback quality in the Playback Quality Setting drop-down list box (Medium, Low, High, or Custom). When selecting the quality, keep in mind that the higher the playback quality, the larger the movie file size.

Then, enter the movie title (as in Land of Snows) in the Title text box, your name in the Author text box, the movie rating in the Rating text box (you wouldn't be making one of those movies, now would you?), and a description of the action in the Description text box.

After you're done filling in this vital information in the Save Movie dialog box, choose OK to open the Save As dialog box. Here, you select the folder where the movie will be saved and give the movie a filename. Note that Windows Movie Maker appends the filename extension WMV (for Windows Movie) to the filename you enter in the File name text box. Then, choose the Save button to create the movie file.

When Windows Movie Maker finishes making your movie file, an alert dialog box appears indicating that the movie has been saved and asking you if you want to watch the movie now. To see the movie in Windows Media Player, click the Yes button; to close the alert dialog box and return to Windows Movie Maker program, click No.

To play your movie in Windows Media Player after you close the Windows Movie Maker, open the folder where the movie was saved and simply double-click the file icon. Doing this opens the movie file in Windows Media Player.

To send the final movie file to a friend or colleague via e-mail, right-click the movie file icon in the My Videos folder (or in whatever folder you store your movies) and then choose Send To-->Mail Recipient in the file shortcut menu. To convert a Windows Movie Maker project into a movie file and send it to a friend or colleague at the same time, choose File-->Send Movie To-->E-mail on the Windows Movie Maker pull-down menus.

Answer 2

Your right, WMV is something created and owned by Microsoft in it's bid for World domination and to exclude anyone who does not use it's OS. Better not to touch WMV or Windows Movie Maker with a barge pole! Try some nice free Open Source software instead.

I installed ubuntu as dual boot - now Windows only serves me for playing Windows games. I have all my office, photo editing, movie editing (including Cinelerra which is a lot like Final Cut on Mac) and it cost me hmmmmm the cost of a 700MB Blank disk and a free download.

How much was yours?
