I have a video file that I had to edit in Windows Movie Maker version 6. (I
had to rotate the video 90 degrees). It will only allow me to save the video
as a Windows Media MAker Project. When I try to import this into PowerPOint
2007 I recieve the error message: PowerPoint cannot insert a movie from the
selected file. verify the path and file.... The original file (the version
that isn't rotated in windows movie maker) is a .avi.
Is there any way I can import the Windows Media Maker file into Powerpont?
Or, is there another way that I can rotate the video in a format that is
compatible with PowerPoint? Any help or input would be appreciated.
As well as "Save project" there should be an option to "Save Movie File"
(ctrl P)

Sorry, I mised the clue that you are using Vista! Instead of "Save movie" use
"Publish > This Computer"

In Movie Maker select Publish Movie and then select to play on hard drive.
This will make a media player WMV file this file will work fine in PowerPoint.
