I am having trouble saving my AMV with Windows Movie Maker.

Also, I don't want to convert the files to huffy files because they take at least 10 gigabytes of space.
I can beat anyone with Ryu. :-)

You choose 'no audio' because xvid files tend to have strange audio encodes that wmm can't handle well. It's not just the video codecs that cause problems. Unless you're using the original audio in the anime, there's no reason to save clips with an audio track. It's good practice to choose 'no audio'. You shouldn't actually need to do that if you ripped the dvds correctly (without audio tracks attached) before you compressed the clips to xvid. It depends on how you got the footage.

Not that it matters. Why'd you ask how to convert to huffyuv if you didn't want to convert to huffyuv?

Another work-around is to save pieces of your project as "high quality large" wmv files. Import those wmv files into a new project and produce them together. The quality will suck, but it's going to suck regardless as long as you're choosing to edit with compressed footage.

But 10 gigs? o.O You've already made the video. You should know which clips you used and which ones you didn't. Just convert and replace the ones you used. Or did you save entire episodes as long xvid files? That must have been horrible in wmm, trying to browse through long compressed files for the clips you want. Next time plan out which clips you'll use and just save them to huffyuv. It shouldn't take up more than 4gigs if you plan ahead, and you won't have to sort through entire chunks of useless footage.

I asked how to convert to huffyuv, because I never knew that huffyuv would have such a big file size.

Use Lagarith and clean your footage before encoding.
