If you are referring to a Vista Movie Maker 6
..mswmm project file...the answer is no.
If you publish the Movie as described in the
following article you should be able to play the
resulting .wmv file on most any computer.
Windows Vista -
Publish a movie in
Windows Movie Maker

Thank you. My son and another boy are working on a class video documentary.
We have XP with Movie Maker 5.1 version 2.1 and his buddy has Vista Movie
Maker. Both create .mswmm project files. Bill

5.1 is your Windows Version and 2.1 is Movie Maker.
If they create the .wmv movie files they should have
no problem sharing and viewing the clips.
Here's some steps to use on the Windows XP 2.1
version:
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...
Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:
Movie Maker 2 - Saving
Movies - Custom WMV Profiles
http://tinyurl.com/s2vgu
Creating Custom Profiles
for Windows Movie Maker 2
http://tinyurl.com/cuny7
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...

Just as alittle extra, a movie project .mswmm file created in XP can be
taken to Vista and it will work ok.
Once used in Vista it cannot go back into XP.
Moving projects from one pc to another also entails moving all of the
project files, so any pictures/audio/video that is used, regardless of
whetehr you are going from XP to XP or XP to Vista.

Thank you Graham and John for responding to my postings.
I had tried Super, but as a novice was floundering and did not know what to
target. Thanks to your support I think I may finally have a good dv-avi
file now.
Best regards, Bill
