Answer 3

I was once told that Windows Movie Maker only works with .avi extension movie files. If this is still true, you will need to convert your .flv file to an .avi using conversion software (you may be able to do this in Flash if your have the program, exporting the movie as a different file type), or try using a different movie editing program. Hope this helps.

When you install Gomplayer, you have a replacement for all the other media drives. Gomplayer is free and plays all file types.
