Ok, I made a movie in Windows Movie Maker, and I want to convert it to WMV so I can watch it in Windows Media Player and upload it on Youtube. Do I need to download a specific codec or what?? I have Prism Video Converter, but it doesn’t recognize the Windows Movie Maker file.

Whaaat???
Movie Maker CREATES wmv files as the default output.

Unless... I think this is what I think you may have done. When you ran movie maker, you clicked file, save as, which saves the project (aka the steps you used to make the movie, and links to the video clips, sound clips, and/or effects) instead of producing the movie. A movie maker project file would have extension .mswmm . The right way to produce the movie is to click on any of the options under “3. Finish Movie” (I think they all produce wmv files in one way or other - except maybe “Send to DV camera” - the best choice is probably “Save to my computer”.)

In fact, you don’t need to convert it, you just need to open it with your Windows Movie Maker, then click “save movie file”, and then “save to my computer”.

If you wanna convert other video to youtube video, I recommend you a [url=http://www.flash-video-mx.com/video4web-converter/]free video to flash video converter[/url] named moyea video4web converter, it can perfectly convert video to adobe flash video.
