Re: Can't open mswmm file

Thanks John for responding. The first problem is that I am unable to access
the video. When I double click the file, that's when I receive the error
message. I receive the same message when I attempt to access the file from
within Movie Maker.

====================================
An .mswmm file is a project file not a video file...
and it does not include the source files.

If you double left click the .mswmm file...it should
open in Movie Maker.

If the original source files are no longer available...
you will see Red Xs.

To create a video file...save as follows:

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
