Windows Movie Maker Utility
This is an open-source utility program for Windows that allows Windows Movie Maker 2.1 users to:
-
Determine which files are part of the project (sounds, images, custom overlays, etc.)
-
Determine where the files are on your computer
-
Identify missing files
-
Extract and view the XML information from .mswmm files
-
Perform a backup / copy of selected media files used by a project using an idle-priority thread so your computer doesn't get bogged down while copying the files
-
Displays custom title XML file usage

NOTE: This program is a fully self-contained executable (written in C++) and targeted at Windows Movie Maker 2.1 users running Windows XP Service Pack 2. Just unzip it and run it.
There is a useful thread about the development of this application on the Windows Movie Makers forum.
