transfering saved movie to InterVideo DVD creator

I have windows movie maker version 2.1.4026.0 and have created and saved my
movie succesfully to my computer I then try to import it into InterVideo DVD
creator program and it gives me the message "This file ............, cannot
be imported. make sure it is a valid file type and that its contents have not
been corrupted." I have made many movies by going through these programs and
has worked correctly. I can still bring over old movies I have made through
windows movie maker so I know that the problem is not InterVideo DVD creator.
Is their a setting I must change on Windows Movie Maker to have it imported
on InterVideo DVD creator or is it something else?

=================================
What format is the Movie Maker file
saved in? If it's .mswmm that is your
project file. Try reopening the file and
save as a movie...go to...File / Save
Movie File...or type...Ctrl+P.

Have a look at the following site:

How do I save my movie as a
DV-AVI file in Movie Maker?

I'm sorry I should have explained how I saved it. I did save it that way and
the file type is a Windows Media Audio/Video file. I hope I explained it
correctly.

Ok it's a .wmv file.

When you open InterVideo DV Creator....
did you choose:
"Create CD/DVD with existing video file"?

Is your .wmv file saved on your hard drive
or removable media? Can you play the file
in WMP?

I checked the InterVideo site but did not find
anything useful. It may be worth a try to submit

The file is saved on the hard drive and I have it also saved on a flash
drive. I can play it through windows media player.

Earlier today I recreated the movie on windows movie maker on a different
computer I then saved it on my removable media and brought it to my computer
and was able to import it through Intervideo DVD creator and it worked fine,
so I think it something with Windows Movie Maker.

====================================
If you recreated it on a different computer...
you had to use copies of the source files?

Maybe there is some corruption in the source
files on the first computer?

Thanks for the update.
