Hey Joseph, Sorry about that. The tutorial uses Movie Maker from Service Pack 1 Here's how you do it with the current version (the one you have): 1. File > Save Movie File... 2. Choose My Computer, click Next 3. Give your file a name and choose a place to save it. click next 4. Choose Other Settings. Select Video for broadband (512kbps) from the dropdown. click next. 5. When it's finished compressing, click Finish. That's it. Verdi
