I need to save my .WMV movie as a .AVI file. But when I select "File; Save
Movie File" avi is not a choice. It looks like from other posts on this
site, some have that as an option. Am I missing something easy, is their an
update I need to apply, or something else?

I'm on Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0, version 5.1.

Thanks for any help!

it should be as easy as 'other options' in the saving wizard and picking
DV-AVI from the drop down list.

In the Save Movie wizard, after the screen that allows you to select a
name for the movie, the next screen is "Movie Settings". Click on "Show
more options..." and you will have all the different options to select.
Select DV AVI from the drop down box.

THANK YOU! You are the only one that said exactly where that drop down list
was. It seems obvious now, but everything seems easy when you know the
answer. Thanks again!

To save as movie, use menu File -> "Save MOVIE As"
or press key Ctrl-P
or use the "Save to my computer" under "4. Finish Movie" step on the
left hand task bar.
