Alright man I'll help you

I use Microsoft movie maker personally. But there's many more to choose from.

But the key is splicing the vids so that you can use them in movie maker.

There are many things out there but most of the time when you make them into a movie file they cut at the end which make them untransferable to movie maker.

So let me help you with that.

First, I want you to get familiar with this site

http://www.keepvid.com

OK, keep this site up.

Let's say you wanted to rip a vid from youtube

for example, this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNxD77jTi3Q

I can tell by your name that this a vid you would like to have

OK. Don't do anything yet. Get the youtube page up by clicking that youtube link I just gave you. ok.

Now I want you to go download this, click on the link below. ok, you now have Riva. The best in the bizz imo.

Riva

ok. You now have both the Riva flv player and the riva flv encoder.

Now I want you to take the url from the youtube vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNxD77jTi3Q

And copy and paste it on the site http://www.keepvid.com

like this is the keepvid site

on the side where it says "Any site" scroll down to youtube like this.

[img width=700 height=405]http://i11.tinypic.com/453dls2.jpg[/img]

ok, now, copy and paste the link from the youtube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNxD77jTi3Q in the blank area given, so after that the page should look like this

[img width=700 height=276]http://i11.tinypic.com/2pyp0jn.jpg[/img]

Press download And it should give you a link on the page. Looks like this

[img width=700 height=341]http://i11.tinypic.com/2wlx34j.jpg[/img]

I highlighted the area for you.

Now here's the important AND CRUCIAL part.

right click the words "Download link" and select "Save as" alright, then name it whatever you want. But MAKE SURE that you put .flv at the end of it and then save it. If I were you I'd save it to the desktop to make it easier to find.

Alright you have now saved it as flash media. And you can play it in Riva flv player. And thats all you need if you just want vids from youtube to play. But since you want to edit them in a system called movie maker.

Time to use the flv encoder

Open The Riva encoder and as the input(at the top) Browse and select the flv video you just downloaded to your computer


DO NOT SELECT ENCODE YET!!!!

If you'll notice in the output(not the input) box, it still has .flv at the end of the vid's name. Change that to
.wmv

Then press Encode. And wait, it will seem like it freezes on you but it doesn't. Once finished look at the desktop and you will have the vid as both an flv and a wmv, and the wmv may be edited in movie maker.

Hope that helps, but thats just getting the vid on your computer and editable, movie maker is a whooole other world to enter

If this didn't help you get the vids to edit, I'll refer you to this guys tutorial

he probably does a better job explaining all this then I do.

You create videos with programs such as 'muvee' or 'MyVideo' and various others....

In this program you are asked to select a video/s then you select music, then style in which you want the video to be made for Ex: black & white, color, fast cuts, slow cuts etc. etc. etc.

The videos (also you can add pictures), and music are chosen from your P.C. so whatever songs and fights you have stored in your PC you can use them....

Not full explanation but a pretty rough idea.....

yo majesty did the wmplayer did ask you to download a codec for encoded flv files to wmv?
ive downloaded riva as youve said but i think the riva file doesnt have codecs attached to play wmv, mpg... media player asks to download these codecs which is 15 mb file
im gonna ask you bro if you did downloaded it (i have a phobia for spywares)
btw, i use media player 10

It will ask that, but it will play in movie maker just fine, and when you make a movie out of it from movie maker it plays perfectly.. dont ask why lol
