I wanted to make a tutorial video of a game event for some friends that were having issues. I got the video captured, I got it into Windows Movie Maker, and I added the overlay text I want.

The preview shows it as working fine, but when I export the movie, the text isn't there.

I choose "Subtitle (Overlay)" for my text, so I don't think my choice of that is an issue. This is the first movie I've made in it, so I really don't know what I'm doing. =(

Also for that, what's a good format to make it write to for uploading to YouTube?

For Live Messenger, I can't get it to keep my user name and password. It started doing this out of the blue, so I upgraded to the newest version, and it still does it. I check the boxes to save it, but it doesn't save. Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance for any help. =D
