Use custom settings to save a movie in Windows Live Movie Maker
Windows Live Movie Maker already has many built-in settings that you can choose from when you're ready to save your movie. But you can also save your movie with a custom setting you create. This lets you save your movie at a quality level and size that meets your specific needs.
To create a custom setting, download and install Windows Media Profile Editor, which is installed with Windows Media Encoder 9 Series. You can download and install Windows Media Encoder 9 Series from the Microsoft website.
If you don't have Windows Live Movie Maker installed already, you can download and install it for free from the Windows Live Movie Maker
website.
