I am fairly new to WMM, and am thinking about a summer video program for
students at the school I teach at. I would like to use WMM for the classes,
but have questions...

Is this program capable of saving projects in different formats (ie. .avi,
..mov, etc.)? I have tried to do this, but had no luck, (only saves in a
".wmf" I believe.) If it's not possible to do this, does anybody know of any
conversion programs that can do this? It sure would be wonderful if I didn't
need additional software for saving in different formats.

Thank you for your time.

Hello PapaJohn,

I appreciate your help with this matter, but I still cannot save in any
other file other than a .MSWMM file. It doesn't give me any other option of
format to save it. If this can be done, how do I do it?

The version I am using under SP2 is 2.1.4026.0. Is this the correct version
of MM? Or is there some other download I need to do?

Thanks again for your time.
 
Art, yes, you have the latest version.

There's a difference between saving a project and saving a movie.... you
have to find the Save Movie feature and then look for the WMV and DV-AVI
choices.

Check the Setup > Software page of my website for an outline of the basics,
and some of the online tutorials for an overview of how Movie Maker works.

Hello,

You could on the other hand do something much better and instead of
searching a re-hash of the help, why not just click on Help in Movie Maker
and then click the Search Tab and enter just one word...SAVING You will then
be presented with a list of topics with a description, the third one down is
"Saving a Movie to my computer"...and its written by the people who created
the program....damm good stuff these help files.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
