I am new to movie maker and wonder why a file of still pictures saved in the
raw format of .,swmm is 175KB but when saved as the movie .wmv it becomes
3707 kb? This is way to big to attach in normal e-mail. what am I doing
wrong?
Thank You
 
You're not doing anything wrong.... the MSWMM file is the project file,
which has links to the source files you use... it's not really a raw format.
When you 'import' into MM2 and use the clips in the project, the source
files are not copied.

The saved movie is the video made from the project file info + source files.
The size of the movie will vary considerably based on your selected setting.

THANK YOU for your prompy reply. I have gone to the web sites you listed
below and it seems I have a lot of reading and learing to do. It says that
"Photo story" is a free software. I do not have that and have OS XP. Where
does one get this as it seems that format might be good for my particular
situation using only still pictures. I am sure when I read all that you have
offered I will learn where these settings are and how to set things so my
movies are not such a large file. Thanks again.
