Q: "I made a bunch of videos on Windows Movie Maker, but when I tried to upload them to YouTube, it 'Failed'. How can I convert it to something that will work?"

A: In fact, YouTube only accepts FLV and MP4 file format but not WMV -- Windows Movie Maker video format. Most of the time when you upload an unaccepted format to YouTube, it will convert the video on its server automatically, but this process may take a long time, and the conversion may fail if the file you upload is large. In this regard, convert your Windows Movie Maker video on your computer before uploading to YouTube will be the best solution.
