Does anyone know of a converter for the 'movies' created by Window Live Movie Maker?

I just tried to upload one into Facebook, but it's not an accepted format. :(

I like the program, but it's no use if the format not generally acceptable. Otherwise, I will need to buy some other software which produces .avi or other files. None of my other s/w is compatible with Windows 7. :rolleyes:

AFAIK the output file format it produces is .wmv.

Facebook says :-

For technical reasons, it may take more than several minutes for a video to fully encode. This process should not last more than a few hours. To see a list of the videos that are currently encoding for your account, go to the "Videos Encoding" tab of the My Videos page.

Please make sure the video is encoded in one of the following formats:

3g2 (Mobile Video)

3gp (Mobile Video)

3gpp (Mobile Video)

asf (Windows Media Video)

avi (AVI Video)

dat (MPEG Video)

flv (Flash Video)

m4v (MPEG-4 Video)

mkv (Matroska Format)

mod (MOD Video)

mov (QuickTime Movie)

mp4 (MPEG-4 Video)

mpe (MPEG Video)

mpeg (MPEG Video)

mpeg4 (MPEG-4 Video)

mpg (MPEG Video)

nsv (Nullsoft Video)

ogm (Ogg Media Format)

ogv (Ogg Video Format)

qt (QuickTime Movie)

tod (TOD Video)

vob (DVD Video)

wmv (Windows Media Video)]

How do I add videos to Facebook?

To upload a video to Facebook, please follow the steps below:

Go to your profile.

Select the Wall tab.

Click "Video" inside the Publisher box.

Select which type of video you want to make.

Follow the on screen directions for your particular upload type.

When you're done, click "Post" to generate a story about your video and store the video permanently in My Videos.

Thanks Boris...

I think I had just saved the movie (my first on WLM) as a project, so it had not become a .wmv file. :rolleyes:

There is an application called "Avidemux" that I have used quite a bit, with Ubuntu,for massaging one type of video to another. It will do all manner of things and I have just been to see if it is available for Windows and lo and behold :-

I think it is quite a good app., and very simple to use...hence my affection for it.
