Default How to Encode Videos with Windows Movie Maker for easy upload to YouTube or streaming

First what u need to do is get your open your movie file with Movie Maker.. First go to File, Import Movie into Collections, and navigate to your movie file... (You can also insert other things... such as a picture sorta like a personalized splash screen but you do that first by clicking Import Pictures and put ur screen in but this has to be done first, otherwise you just get audio) and drag and drop the files into the storyboard below, then it Ctrl P which will save, and choose My Computer, and since YouTube's limit is 100mb, make sure your movie is less than or equal to 100mb (and less than 10 minutes worth of film) it may be necessary to drag down parts of the vid and encode each piece by piece and upload them to YouTube and label it part 1 and such.. for the respective movies.. now depending on your processor and RAM, your speed may vary...

Here's a cleaner version:

1. Open Windows Movie Maker, located under Start Menu>All Programs>Windows Movie Maker

2. Go to File>Import into Collections... and import your movie/video.

3. You may wish to include pictures for splash screens.

4. Drag and drop the files from the collection onto the storyboard below.

5. Press [Ctrl] + [P] (isn't it [Ctrl] + [S]?) to save the project. You may wish to save it in the My Computer folder.

6. Since the Youtube video size limit is 100MB, try to save your movie with a size of or less than 100MB and 10 minutes of film.

7. Sometimes, the file is just to big. When this happens, you can split the project up into separate video files and upload them later one by one.

8. When uploading more than one video, label the first video with a "Part 1" and so on.

9. Depending on your processor and RAM, your speed may vary. Internet speed can also affect this.
