| Hi melv18,
Well, I'm definitely not an expert in movie conversion/exporting but I believe Movie Maker can only work with files that Windows Media Player can open as you probably guessed since it can't use the xvid-mpeg 4 codec. If you exported your movie with that codec, try exporting it as an uncompressed .avi (if you have the hard drive space) since Movie Maker can compress it afterwards. Hope this helps...

| | movie maker saves in wmv format - by the way you've exported from iclone in divx format so you've already intorduced some quality loss, ideally if you plan to convert to other formats, export from iclone in uncompressed avi so you are always working with a nice clean high quality file before you convert it sites like youtube use FLV, which produces high quality balanced with reasonable file sizes do a google search for flv converters shoudl be some free ones i use turbine video encoder my self

| Another good option is MP4 (that is, it has an MP4 extension, I believe the codec is H264, different from xvid, divx); YouTube and Vimeo now recommend this for HD source files (1280X720). iClone can create these files, but I agree, it's best to start out uncompressed. Of course, MP4 will not work in Moviemaker either...
Coming soon:
