is the windows movie maker in vista  and windows movie maker in xp
compatitable.
Im doing a project for my class and i decide to complete it at home, so i
put my videos on a falsh drive, but im not sure if the project i do at home
(vista computer) is compatiable with the one at school (XP) computer?

If it isnt how can i make them compatiable?

===================================
The Vista Movie Maker .mswmm project files
are not compatible with WinXP Movie Maker.

If you publish the Vista Movie Maker movie in
a movie format...wmv or .avi...you can import
it into WinXP Movie Maker but it will be just a
movie clip it won't include the individual source
files.

so does that mean i cant transfer my unfinished movie to the XP computer to
work on it?

Would it just be easier to get a Xp version movie maker on my coputer?

==============================
Yes...that's what it means...you cannot edit
a Vista Movie Maker .mswmm project file in
WinXP Movie Maker.

You can take the WinXP version to Vista
but not the reverse.

There is no XP version that runs on Vista.
