Location: C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Music\My Playlists\Movie_0001.wmv
Copy the URL (See above) Note that it ends in wmv. This means that it is a WMV file. In this file format, it will upload easily to a Wiki or other websites.
Note: Because many people ‘share’ a Wiki or Moodle it is advisable to give the movie a unique name because Windows names everyone’s movie, ‘Movie_0001’ , by default
