Hey everyone,

I know how to make movies on FS, but I am now trying to create them using Windows Moive maker.  If anyone can give me some help in doing this that would be great.

I have found my movies from FS that are already made but cannot get them to load on on Windows Movie Maker.  Some help would be great.

You've got to go to the import option...it's been a while since I used WMM for anything, but it's in the options along the top...then just browse to the fight folder and import them.  Hope this helps!  If not, lemme know and I'll see if I've still got WMM installed and I'll dig around to give you a more detailed step by step.

First off, are the movies you made captured from the screen or
the "in sim" movies that FS9 makes? If the latter, these "movies"
are only text files that defines the sims state during the "recording".
They are not actual video files that can be displayed outside of FS9.

If they are actual recorded video files, what format are they in?

I've made several movies using FRAPS, which create disk-hogging
AVI files, and brought them into Windows Movie maker and converted
them to more reasonably-sized WMV files. I've also created DVD's
with FS9 films I've captured with FRAPS.

As the previous poster stated, you use the "Import into Collections...."
feature under "File". There you can select the movie files to import
that are of the recognized formats.

Once imported, simply select, drag and drop the clips to the timeline for previewing/editing.

Are you talking about the "Flight Video" inside the sim? You can't use that anywhere other than FS 2004. Those videos won't import into anything else since they are only the data from the flight. You will need a screen capturing program to get video you can edit with an outside program.
