Q&A: Help!? How do I burn a movie I made with Windows Movie Maker?
Question by Cody Taylor: Help!? How do I burn a movie I made with Windows Movie Maker?
I have put together a few small videos into 1 big movie via windows movie maker. When I saved it, it saved with the extension MSWMM. When I tried to burn off the movie on several of my burning programs the movie couldn’t be found. So then I changed the extension to avi. Avi always works on my burning programs, this time I went to look for my movie and it was there. When I clicked burn everything went through fine but when it was about to start it said it failed due to the file type. The same thing happened with all my burning programs. On windows movie make I then tried the option “Save to CD”, it then came up something about the file wasn’t working due to modification after import. I changed avi back to the original extension and the same thing came back up. Does anyone know how I can burn it off a different way or something that I can do that might work or fix my problem?
Thanks for your time and help!

HI.
MSWMM is only a project file and not a movie it just points movie maker and DVD maker towards you elements of your project ie the locations of videos and audio files on your computer .
As a project file so you may continue an open project and this files is used by DVD maker .
When “publish” is selected a prompt to save your project appears select yes
(But this is not a movie) .
The next stage is when windows DVD maker auto-starts it is dvd maker that creates , compiles and converts to a playable movie files ie WMA that can be saved to computer or burns to DVD a DVD player compatible movie.
If you double click the saved project file windows should resume your production but elements of your production must be in the same location as when you saved the project.
Once DVD maker has done its work the finished playable movie may be saved to any location of your selection ie Flash , DVD , CD etc.
