She spent hours on it, creating it using Microsoft Moviemaker (I don't know why, but that is what she used) and then saved it to a CD. When she tried to play it in a CD player, it wouldn't recognize it. I pointed out to her that is because the format and extension are different. I tried to figure out how to convert it, but couldn't figure it out. Can anyone help me to change this to a file that I can then burn to an audio CD? Thanks and all the best, Mick |

I haven't used that program, but typically you have the default save preference in the program then you have everything else. Hit "save as" and see if there is a drop down menu with other options. For example, their old "Photodraw" program had a proprietary default form, but I could also save in jpg or git or tiff, etc. SRS |

That's why it only offers the Movie maker format. If you use the "Save Movie file" command, it will save the movie as a WMV, (windows media video) file, which can be burned to a CD which will play back on any computer that has Media Player. You would need some playing around with an audio recorder like Audacity to record the audio from that, and export it as a WAV, then burn it to an audio CD. Next time, download Audacity first (it's free) and use that for audio recording and editing- unless you know someone with a proper audio editing programme, such as ProTools, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, Soundforge, Adobe Audition etc. etc. etc......
