Windows movie maker - unable to save movie file

I was trying to save my movie file for several hours and landed up getting severe headache. I tried many things to get rid of the error but in vain. Finally out of luck or something I could save my movie file. Instead of explaining the failure cases, let me only let you know what I did and how the file got saved.

1. Download your video from youtube or whichever location it is in. If it is .flv format, you will have to change it to .wmv format or compatible formats that windows movie maker supports. winff is a freeware available in the internet which converts the video files to required formats. So you can download this to convert to .wmv format.

2. Add the video files to the windows movie maker. You can clip your videos too in this tool. Once you are ready with the final videos, you can save this movie file. You are done!

Though I tried these steps again and again, I had failed. The only difference was I used the trial version of Total video converter software available in the internet. Perhaps this may be the reason why it might not have worked. winff is a freeware and no trial version is needed. So just go ahead and try this and am sure you will be able to save your movie file using windows movie maker. Cheers!
