The only way to change a Windows Movie Maker project file (with the file name extension of MSWMM) is to Publish/Finish the video in the program first.

Publishing/Finishing the project exports video and audio properties, automatically converting them to a Standard Viewing Format (such as .wmv), which is an acceptable format for uploading onto Photobucket, YouTube, etc.

You cannot change a Windows Movie Maker project file (MSWMM) to any other format.

Until you Publish/Finish your Windows Movie Maker project, it remains in project format with a MSWMM file name extension. MSWMM files can only be viewed/edited in the Windows Movie Maker program.

If you want your video in another format, you must first Publish/Finish it. This process mixes-down/exports the audio and video properties, converting them into a Standardviewing format. If publishing/finishing is successful, you can then convert the file to whatever format you want.
