Convert MSWMM to AVI

Understanding MSWMM and AVI file formats

The MSWMM file format is associated with Windows Movie Maker, a video editing software that allows users to create and edit videos. MSWMM files are project files that contain information about the video timeline, effects, transitions, and other editing details, but they do not contain actual video data.

On the other hand, the AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format is a widely used multimedia container format developed by Microsoft. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a single file, making them suitable for playback on various media players and devices.

How to convert MSWMM to AVI

To convert an MSWMM file to an AVI file, you need to first export the project from Windows Movie Maker as a video file and then convert it to AVI if necessary. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker.
2. Go to File → Save Movie File or File → Publish Movie depending on your version.
3. Select the desired output format, such as WMV, and save the video file.
4. Once you have the video file, use a video converter to convert it to AVI format.
