To upload video to YouTube for sharing has becoming more and more hot, I guess some people may want to know the easy-way to upload edited video from Window Movie Maker to YouTube. Here the following article will show you the easiest way to realize it according to my own experience.
First, you should know that YouTube accepts a large range of video formats. The following part I list the YouTube workable format as below:
Windows Media Video (.WMV)
AVI (windows)
3GP (cell phones)
MP4 (ipod/psp)
MOV (mac)
MPEG
FLV (adobe flash)
MKV (h.264)
Generally, if the video you want to upload is not recognized by YouTube, you have to get the best uploading results by using a professional video converter to convert the video files to MPEG video with MP3 audio. As for those Windows Movie Maker video you can follow the steps to make it acceptable to YouTube.
Click the “File” and select “Save Movie File” > “My Computer”, then you can set the movie “Name” and “Location”. And it would walk you through to save your video to WMV format which is accepted by YouTube.
Tips:
1) Don’t go to “Save Project (as)” which will save your edited movie to MSWMM. Actually, the MSWMM is not a video file but a project generated by Windows Movie Maker which includes some basic information such as titles, credits, transition, etc. And YouTube doesn’t work this kind of file now.
2) Generally, YouTube decodes the video you upload to raw video first and then recode it for Flash 7 (FLV) with 640 x 360 pixels to fit the player ratio (16:9). That’s why some videos uploaded turned out to be poor quality. But if you convert the video you want to upload to FLV before uploading it to YouTube with a Video Converter, the video will keep good quality according to some people’s experiences. Moreover, the uploading speed could be faster without decoding and recoding by YouTube.
3) Make sure that the video file is less than 10 minutes, smaller than 1 GB in size with acceptable format to YouTube
NOW, you can upload the Windows Movie Maker video to YouTube as below:
Step 1: Go to YouTube
Step 2: Login your account and click the “Upload”. If you have no account, you can register one.
Step 3: Fill related information about the video you uploaded. The more information you fill, the easier it is to find your video for users.
Step 4: Click the yellow button “Upload” to start uploading your video.
Once the video is published, you can browse the video or share it with friends with the URL YouTube provided at random
“I purchased movies on iTunes, but they can not be played on my Creative Zen because of the protected M4V format which only works on iPod and PlayStation Portable developed by Apple. How can I enjoy the iTunes movies on my Zen player?”
Have you got the same? In order to solve the problem, I searched some useful information from online, and here I will share it with you.
First, we should know that M4V files are iTunes video files used for TV episodes, movies and music videos in iTunes Store. And M4V files are similar to MP4 files, both of which are MP4 files. The difference is that M4V files are opened with iTunes player by default while MP4 files are opened with QuickTime player by default. The copyright of M4V files may be protected by using Apple’s FairPlay DRM copyright protection. So, to play a protected M4V file the computer needs to be authorized (using iTunes) with the account that was used to purchase the video. However, unprotected M4V files may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the files extension from “.m4v” to “.mp4”.
If you just own some other mp3 or mp4 player such as Zen, iRiver, Zune and so on but iPod or iPhone, is it possible to enjoy protected iTunes videos (M4V) on those mp3 or mp4 players? Of course, it is. The following tutorial will show you the easy-solution to make it – that is to convert DRM protected M4V to plain MP4, M4V, MP4, MP3, etc with a good video converter.
Are you ready? Just follow me.
First of all, free download this best video converter here, install and run it. Then you can add iTunes files into this M4V converter program by clicking the “Add” button.
Once all the iTunes files are loaded, you can select output format as MP4 or other popular video/audio format you need from the drop-down list “Format” as well as set location from the “Output”.
Last, click the “Convert” button to start M4V conversion. Don’t worry its conversion speed; the whole conversion process will be done in a little time.
Tips:
1) This good video converter supports batch conversion so you can convert several iTunes files at the same time.
2) If you want to combine several iTunes files into one files, you can click the “Merge into one file” to make it.
3) If you want to adjust the aspect ratio to meet your player’s screen, you can click the “Settings” button to open a profile window which supports you adjusting the audio and video parameters for your reference.

In other words, you can make iMovie edit ACVHD files in the formats of MTS or M2TS if your budget allows and your Mac meets the following two key requirements: the first is that you have to make sure that you have iMovie ’09 or newer version software; the other is that you need the Mac with Inter-based Core Due processor or better processor since iMovie is hardware. Therefore, Power PC G5 or older Macs will not work for editing high-definition AVCDH files with iMovie.

The Final Cut Pro 7 is the most up-to-date support for AVCDH available, with 6.0.1 being the first version of FCP with AVCDH support.
