I want to export my finished movie for use on the web. Therefore now I have
finished it, I need to be able to compress it and export it as a "mpeg" or
".avi" file. However, if I click on the Save to Web button in Movie Maker it
saves the file (no idea where as I haven't been able to find it afterwards)
and then asks you to select a video hosting provider. There are only two
options in the drop down box - neither of which are my host anyway!
All I want to be able to do is export my finished movie as a reasonably
compressed "mpeg" file - I can handle getting it onto the website myself. My
current web host is happy to have videos downloaded off my space there and I
know how to upload the videos to the host and how to link it off my website -
all I need is to be able to produce the finished compressed "mpeg" file.
How do you do this in Movie Maker?

select the 'My Computer' choice, not the save to web one.... you'll have
choices of WMV or DV-AVI, not MPEG....

WMV files are great for web-based viewing, but if you want MPEG, you'll need
to take the saved movie to other software to convert it.
