saving a movie

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Yes, using movie maker; it does play properly on the timeline (and indeed I
can save the porject onto a disk and play that so long as the computer has
Windows Movie Maker); the message was something like: one or more source
files are not available/can't be detected or somesuch.

sorry guys but i cant seem to make a new topic so i choose one that was close
so please bear with me, i am a little frustrated right now.
i have created a movie from a capture device (pinnacle studios digital
dazzle 80) for xbox games for my "CLAN" which is a group of guys that get
together and play games against other clans online. i capture the online play
and then edit sounds ,narration and music to the gameplay.
i have completed the movie and saved it to my computer but it shows as a
WMM file icon and file type in my Documents. when i need to upload it to my
hosting site i dont believe it will let me use wmm as a file type, and others
will not be able to view it i should use another but cant seem to convert it,
please give me some suggestions.

i already finshed the movie on MM it is saved and in my videos folder and
shows up as a wmm file which cannot be played on any media player to my
knowledge. i tried saving the movie three different times to ake sure i didnt
pcik the wrong option when saving and i only get the option to choose WHERE
the file goes then i get a screen that lets me choose the biterate and at the
bottom it still shows the file type as wmm.
what am i not doing right?

thanks wusker
