Hello, i just have a small question, may be an easy one, but i cant think of too much to do about this one. I made a "movie" on windows movie maker and tried to send the file to a friend. He recived the file, but could not play the clip. I am using Windows XP and so is he, we both have movie maker. The only thing i can think of is that he does not have the files on his computer to play them. Any help on what all to send, or a different way to send these files would be appreciated.

What are you really asking here. If you made a movie with movie maker you should have created an mpeg file or wmv file or asf file. If you just saved the project then all you did was save the project to work on and not the film to watch. So check the file extension that you tried to send him, and make sure it isn't a project file. The project file contains no movie just links the the files that you got the movie from.

I think i just saved it. the movie consists of clips i recorded from a game on my computer which are auto saved as a WAV file. What i am really asking is what do i have to do, after making the movie, to send it to someone in an e-mail. Wasn't sure if i needed to save it differently, or if i had to send extra stuff with the file so he can view it. What will happen is when he opens the file, it will open his default player, but nothing will come up. His player is set up so he can play all files from that application.
