Vista - Windows Movie Maker

I am absolutely new in this video/movie aspect.
I had recorded a video from You Tube, converted it to wmv, imported it into
Win Movie Maker.
In between the video, There is a section I want to remove. Will someone
please show me how ? Thank you.
Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1.

Preview the movie in Windows Movie Maker and then use the 'split' option to
split it there at the beginning of this section. Then split that second
chunk at the end of the 'bad' section'. Then only publish the first and
last section. =)

Thank you. But " split " function is to slice video into clips. If I had 3
clips, #1, #2 and #3, I can NOT combine #1 with #3. It has to be #1, then
#2, then #3.

if you have 3 clips, you can arrange them in any sequence on the project's
storyboard or timeline.... when you save the movie they'll all be there as
you arranged them. You don''t need to combine them as clips in the project.

Now I am confused.
Please read what I had copy/pasted from Help of Windows Movie Maker :

" Conversely, you might have a file that was divided into smaller clips that
you want to combine. However, you can only combine contiguous clips.
"Contiguous" means that the start time of the second clip immediately
follows the end time of the first clip. For example, if you have a video or
audio file that was divided into clips when it was imported into Windows
Movie Maker, and the clips are named Clip 1, Clip 2, and Clip 3, in that
order, you could combine Clip 1 and Clip 2, or Clip 2 and Clip 3, but you
cannot combine Clip 1 and Clip 3. "

That means if I want to omit clip #2, I can't put clip #1 and #3 in the
timeline, right ?

Zachd and PapaJohn,
I have found what I needed. It's in the Help section. Trim option is the one
I need, not Split.
The procedure is a little tedious. The part that threw me off is the meaning
of the word " trim ". One usually " trims " away what one does not want. But
in this case, it's the opposite. The steps are as following :
1. Trim the clips that one wants, one at a time.
2. Publish them, one at a time.
3. If the video is to be trimmed into 4 clips, then there will be 4
trimmings and 4 publishings.
4. Import them back to WMM, put the clips back into the timeline, then
publish for final product.

Nah, that's overkill. I do this all the time. You cannot *combine* them as
one clip in the clip gallery, but you can put 1+3 sequentially in the
storyboard/timeline (as PapaJohn mentioned) and they will then publish as
one clip. =)

I must be missing a step or two. I failed trying to do what you tod me.
OK. I have a video where I only want one section somewhere in the middle,
and the last section.
EX, If the video is to be divided into 4 parts, A, B, C and D. I want only B
and D.
Question : How do I split them ? I can let the A section run to it's end
before B section, click Split, right click on A, click Remove. That removes
A section from timeline, but I can't figure out how to get rid of C section.
Step by step please, if possible. Thank you.

I'm in Windows Movie Maker
I'm in View:Timeline
I am viewing my clip in the "imported media" area.
I double click it from within the imported media area so that it plays in
the preview window.
I click split at the point I want to
I further split the files within the imported media area until I'm as split
as I want
I drag the chunks I want to the timeline in the order I want
I click Publish Movie
voila

If that doesn't help you, I am evidently horrible at explaining myself and
will defer to anyone else with better communicative skills.

Kind regards,
-Zach
