I have created a small video useing screenshots of various pictures.

The video is done and now I want to share it

I have a small problem however well actually a few

1. I cannot seem to save the file, but I can save the file as...

2. When I send the video to a friend through email he cant watch it.

3. Is there any way to make a video made on Windows movie maker playable on other programs such as real, or windows media.

wut is the file extension on the output file?

Scratch that, I presume your using Windows Movie Maker. What you're sending your friend is your "project". This is essentially a data file full of instructions, not your video.

WMM is kinda idiot proof. In the left hand menu, you'll see an item "3. Finish Move". Under this, click send in email and follow the instructions.

well its not idiot proof cause here stands before you an idiot.

I have done this And I still does not work.

Right now I just sent file to myself and when I tried to pull it up on window movie maker it tells me that the file is either not WMM file which it is, or Its corupted, which it shouldnt be,

Help me please I dont want to see my whole project go down the drain.

Ok I was going to add he file but it wont let me, says the extension mswmm is not allowed.

As I say, the file in question is your project settings file, NOT the video. You need to export the video rather than save your project. Select save to my computer click next a few times and hey presto.
