so any ideas brother and sisters? :muddlehea

i tried to save the movie for web but in that route it does not allow you to upload it on to youtube or google

Sounds like youtube does not recognise the format. Try uploading it on putfile instead.

I think in order to upload to youtube you will need to convert to FLV format.

To convert video files to FLV format you will need a conversion application, usually referred to as a converter or encoder. Converters are fairly straightforward to use — you simply import a file, choose a preset (and customize the settings if required), then export as FLV. Good converters have additional features such as batch processing options.
There are many converter/encoders available — some free, some cheap, some expensive. If you do a search for "FLV converter" or "FLV encoder" you'll find plenty of options. Three of the most commonly-used converters are listed below.

1. Macromedia Flash
   : The official Flash authoring program comes bundled with a utility called Flash 8 Video Encoder. Flash itself is very powerful (and correspondingly expensive) but the encoder doesn't actually produce the best quality FLV files. If you already own Flash, this is a good way to begin making FLV files but if you want the best possible quality you should try other options.
2. Flix
   : Flix is a collection of encoders by On2 Technologies, the company which makes the VP6 codec used in Flash 8. There are various options including low-budget versions.
3. Sorenson Squeeze
   : A powerful and versatile conversion application.

For a more detailed comparison see Flash FLV Encoders.
Notes:

• If possible, use a converter with 2-pass encoding. This creates better quality video.

Example: The screenshot below shows the main screen of Flix Pro. The tabs provide more advanced options, but if you prefer to keep it simple you can convert videos with just a few clicks.

I believe youtube converted your wmv to flv while you were uploading and also believe their conversion would be of inferior quality.

Uploads will usually take 1-5 minutes per MB on a high-speed connection, and converting your video takes a few minutes; you can add more info or upload more videos while it's processing. Unless you have been pre-approved for longer videos, your video is limited to 10 minutes and 100MB

What program are you using?

Have you checked that the file types of the films you wish to insert match those of the movie you already have?

I think you need an FLV player to take videos from Google Video or Youtube etc. You'll also need a Firefox browser. It's just a couple of free downloads and is worth it in the long run. You'll also need to convert the FLV into a different format so you can edit it into your movie. For that, Super seems pretty good.
