I uploaded a video I made on WMM and while processing the status read FAILED (invalid file format)

What am I supposed to do?

I don't use WMM but do you have the option to save as a different format?

It works, I have 26 videos that I made from WMM....

When your done, publish it into your DESKTOP


When its done uploading, choose the file on your desktop and upload it

Dont trip, happens all the time, the thing is you're trying to publish a Movie Maker file, not a movie, Im on vista so go to file and publish movie, you can do post it straight to youtube but if you save it to your hard drive first then post the file the quality is much better

You have to save the file to your computer from Movie Maker and it turns the file into an MPEG file. You can't upload WMM files anywhere since in order to use them you need the files associated with it.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the videos on Youtube are made on Windows Movie Maker
