Channel 9 has a lengthy video interview with Victor Santodomingo, Windows Live Movie Maker Engine Development Lead, discussing the new release: Microsoft also lists a bunch of ways that videos can be shared from within the application: save to a mobile device, share via e-mail, burn to DVD, display on your PC, display on TV (Media Center Edition, Blu-ray) in high definition, view via streaming media player, display on Xbox, display on Zune, display on iPod, send to file sharing website such as Windows Live SkyDrive, or send to a video-sharing website (YouTube and Facebook for now, with more sites on the way). In fact, Microsoft says today's release makes Movie Maker 'the first application within the Windows Live Essentials suite optimized for Windows 7.' The last three are only supported in Windows 7, which has much better format support than its predecessor. The new version supports the following file formats: Windows Media Video (WMV), Windows Media DV-AVI, Microsoft Recorded TV Show, 3GP, 3GPP, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Motion JPEG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, Bitmap, PNG, QuickTime. Since Windows 7 won't include its own Movie Maker application (nor Windows Mail, nor Photo Gallery), it makes sense that the software giant is releasing an updated version before the operating system's release on October 22, 2009. Windows Live Movie Maker requires either Windows Vista or Windows 7. 0730 over at /moviemaker or via this offline installer link (6.44MB).

Microsoft today released the final version of Windows Live Movie Maker at build.
