I created a movie using a single photo & audio file. I want to post this on
MyFamily.com but need to save it as .mpg or .asf. Can I do this in MovieMaker?

===================================
According to the following info on the MyFamily
site you can upload .wmv, .mov, .mpg, .avi.

What file types of video files are supported?

I did save as wmv & uploaded it to MyFamily, but when you are on the site &
click to download I get a message box with "unknown file" and the options to
"Find" or "Save". When I click on the file why won't Windows Media Player
open it from MyFamily?
Then I saved it as avi (156 MB) & the file was taking forever to upload.
After about 3 minutes it was only 2% complete so I cancelled that.

====================================
I have no personal experience with the MyFamily
website. Can you provide the download link so I
can see what the issue is?

Or...maybe your best bet would be to communicate
your issues to the MyFamily support site;

I'm using the original version of MyFamily, not the 2.0 Beta
