Windows Movie Maker is a utility which allows you to make home movies easily and have fun at the same time. This program enables users to create, edit and share their home videos.
Many improvements have been made since the first release of Windows Movie Maker, in 2000.
Its main advantage definitely is accessibility.
Anyone can use this intuitive program and obtain professional-looking videos.
The first step of obtaining a movie in Windows Movie Maker is importing audio, video or music, using the file browser or the drag and drop capability.
The most common formats are supported. Afterwards, you can start editing: add visual effects, video transitions, credits, titles, delete bad scenes etc.
There are so many effects available that an average user won’t feel the need of using a more advanced video editor. The separate files are still available in the Storyboard.
Windows Movie Maker proves to be really up to date since it allows you to share the videos after you have finished creating and editing them, via e-mail or on the Web (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, OneDrive etc.) Windows Movie Maker also offers you support in case you want to save the movie on a CD, DVD or to a digital camera, so you can play it on a TV or on the camera.
Vista users who cannot run the Vista version of Windows Movie Maker are advised to install Windows Movie Maker 2.6.
This piece of software from Microsoft uses a moderate amount of system resources and it will not affect the performance of your computer while editing your home videos.
Windows Movie Maker is the perfect choice for average users who want to get amazing results without needing to learn how to use a complex tool. This application offers more possibilities than you think.

I will first off say that I will be happy when I fully functioning version of the 2.6 is ready and handles HD footage H264, Mpeg4, blueray.
Bitchers and moaners need to exit to the left.
I used this software in XP and loved it, simple and lacking as it was, I did most of my post in Premier ( Image and lighting correction ) but cutting and transitions, posting text or credits all was much faster and more intuitive in Movie Maker, the newest stripped down version that came with Widows 7 " windows live movie maker" does SUCK horribly but the Beta version 2.6 looks awesome, glad to see it back, now lets work on getting my HD footage to import without down sampling in Vegas, Avid, or Premier first.

Windows Movie Maker doesn't support FLV files, which is why you're having trouble viewing them.
You can either convert your FLV files to a format that Movie Maker supports, such as MP4, or try using a different video editor that handles FLV, like VSDC Free Video Editor or Avidemux. Both are listed on CODECS.COM.
