Importing a Video from My Muvees Folder

[Guest]

I create videos/movies from my camera's software (Picture Project) and save
it in My Muvees for me to view in WMP.
To share with my family I host it to a web server but the quality when
viewed is not good.
My videos are 5-10 minutes in length(using hundreds of photos), too large
too email. I was told Windows Movie Maker will support thse large files to
email so my family can view in WMP, so I imported to Movie Maker but only
1:19 of the 6 minute video imports.
Ok..here's my questions:
How do I get the entire video to import and
will I really be able to email these large files through Windows Movie Maker?
PLease help, I am a novice.
Thanks, Deb

=============================
Maybe importing to Movie Maker and
saving as a .wmv using the...
Finish Movie / Send in e-mail...option
would reduce the file size enough but
the quality of the video will also suffer.

The first thing I would try to correct the
import into Movie Maker problem would
be some maintenance.

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

Next...Log off from the Net, close all running
programs (especially virus scanners) and
try to import your Movie into Movie Maker.

If it imports successfully...save as I previously
described.

An alternative would be to upload your
video to a site like one of the following...
then your recipients will receive a link so
they can download the video at their
convenience.
