You missed a step with Windows Movie Maker. Watch Part 2 of my tutorials below for step-by-step instructions. The upload procedure is slightly different from when this was made, but it's basically the same.



The following videos were made for people interested in posting videos on YouTube, but the information can answer general questions about using Movie Maker as well.

I've made these YouTube videos to answer questions just like yours.

right click on the video file , click proprieties , check youtube's supported formats and see if ur video support , if it's not try converting softwares like Format Factory ( it's free )

BTW u can add the video in movie player and publish it to new format ( if the format support windows movie player )How do i change the format of a video to You Tube%26039;s format.?

your file must be either wmv,flv,mpg..don't know the rest..

but to be on the safe side convert it to FLV format.
