Answer 1

This is how to do it in Windows XP movie maker, but there shouldn't be a big difference...

1. Finish your movie

2. Click "save to My Computer"

3. Put in a name, and a save folder

4. Choose quality

5. Wait for movie to save

6. Upload to YouTube

Good luck, sorry if this doesnt work, but I dont have Vista =/

Answer 2

If you can't do it in movie maker, you can download  a converter.

I use Internet Video Converter. I found it at Snapfiles . com

  It's freeware and works great! It can convert lots of video formats ( to and from), and it's very easy to use.

  Wishing you good luck!!

Answer 3

this is because ur saving ur project and not ur file. u want to save ur file by going to File>Save Movie File...and save it to your computer. Or just simply press Ctrl+P and save it to My Computer. then upload it. I am also using Windows XP, so it might or might not be the same. but it should, i see no reason why it change.

Answer 4

Ensure the file format is correct before uploading to youtube...

Using windows movie maker -- you have to save it into the proper file format, that is "wmv" file (use the "save movie file" on the menu at the top left) before upload..

The WMV file will be smaller in size but still quite good quality.. so uploading it will be faster.

--for best editing....

use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)... it can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. mixing your songs with pictures/video/etc).... then save it as video file such as wmv file format... finally upload.

or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces....

this will help you.... Use 'zillatube'. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.

Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.

It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker... save your file as wmv and then upload.

It works very well....just google search for "zillatube"
