Here's the simplest answer that an animations technician can give you: Simplistic Windows Movie Maker + Advanced format POV-ray = program epic fail. Windows Movie Maker cannot recognize POV-ray because it is such an advanced and specialized format. The only real thing you can do is get Adobe Premier Pro, or get iMovie. If you aren't willing to shovel out a couple of bucks, Google "free video editing software". I garentee that you will find something.

And if all else fails, upload small segments of the clip, slice it in even shorter pieces in Movie Maker, save each individual piece, morph it together, and hope your computer doesn't crash.

I'm not sure if you know this, SrgtCorn, but POV-Ray exports rendered frames as individual .BMP files. WMM seriously cannot have a problem with opening a series of .BMPs.

Ah. [/ignorance]

And I'm not sure that you know this, but WMM doesn't like BMP's very much when it comes to importing them. I was unlucky enough to deal with a problem importing BMP's last summer about a week before a project was due, and I'm lucky I had a week. I'm not even sure what the problem is, maybe WMM is just too outdated, or the formating is screwy? I don't know, but good luck. (I suggest getting Premier Pro anyway )

Interesting how I can open a 750-frame-plus POV-Ray-rendered replay in Virtual Dub, yet WMM stumbles. Hm.

Regardless, yea, try some of SrgtCorn's suggestions.
