Converting Flip videos (mp4) to use in Movie Maker (wmv)

 * ====[|WinFF download]====
 * [|How to Convert mp4 to wmv]
 * Typically, if you are wanting to use the Flip video in MovieMaker, **you will choose 'wmv' under the "Convert to..." drop down and 'Power Point' under "Device Preset."**
 * At the Academies, when you convert your movies, create a folder on your hard drive to save the converted movies to.
 * Also, if you are going to convert them, it may be quicker to not go through the Flip software. Open up My Computer, find the "Flip" icon under external drives and open it. Video is normally stored in the "DCIM" folder. Drag it from that folder into the WinFF window to save time when converting.
