How do you convert a file made on windows movie maker to a file that can be played on youtube

Baisically How do you convert a MSWMM to a MPEG4 or something like that

I haven't used Windows Moviemaker in a long time but I believe there is a button called "publish" or something to that effect. Click that and follow through the steps.

When I tried to make a test movie from WMM, saving using the Web option, it is saved as a .WMV file. There are many free Video Converters available here for you to use to convert your files. I suggest filtering the results by License Type (choose "Free") so that you don't end up with trialware that only works for a couple weeks. At the top, choose either Sort by: Editor Rating or Sort by: Total Downloads in order to sort by the most popular or best software. Although I haven't personally used it, Any Video Converter seems like it would be a good pick. For file types YouTube accepts, go here.

Before trying any of the above:

http://www.zamzar.com/ is also a pretty good site I use every now and then to convert a file from one format to another.

None of those options work!

Any other ideas

Windows Movie Maker simply has a 'publish' function. That will publish it as a file type of your choice.

You can't convert a project file to a video file, without doing it via WMM.

What littleboy said. It's only possible to convert one video format to another video format if the original source is a video to begin with.

Ahhh, Windows Movie Maker, how I love thee. How have a much more impressive editor, but I still use you in order to make things work. Gah.

File conversion is serious business, especially when I only have footage in one type of file that isn't compatible with what I'm doing. Whenever I want to convert a file, I use Media Converter, though I may have to use the above mentioned Zamzar and see if it's any better.
