Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7
Idea
Erm, I was missing Movie Maker and needed it for a class project (don't ask). So I took the files from Vista, copied the newer stuff from Windows 7's DVD Maker, and got it working on Windows 7 (registering a bunch of files, basically) and created an installer.
Agreement/Disclaimer
By downloading and using this, you agree to the Windows 7 Pre-Release EULA and admit you have a licensed copy/key. Like that's hard to get. I also cite the Vista product terms, but it's really not important as the software is distributed freely. I claim no rights to this software.
FAQ
How is this different from Windows Live Movie Maker?
Um, you get all the features back. WLMM is a horrible app with a ribbon on top (literally).
How this is different from Windows Movie Maker 2.6?
This app has the Windows Vista look (for better or for worse), improved stability, improved speed on transitions/effects, and use of the Windows Media Foundation (allows codec support in Windows 7).
Does this work with DVD Maker?
No. Windows 7's DVD Maker does not support importing project files (MSWMM), but will support importing all video files including ones normally published (to "My Computer" by Movie Maker. Note that the "Publish To... DVD" feature does not work in Vista Movie Maker on Windows 7.
Changelog
Release 2, 3/31/09 (8.53 MB EXE): Significantly reduced size; ripped out DVD Maker stuff that was left behind (not in Windows 7)
Release 1, 3/30/09 (66.13 MB RAR): Initial release. All of Vista's Movie Maker files, with Windows 7's DVD Maker files copied over, with a wrapper to register all the valid DLL and AX files. Voila.
