I've found another problem with Windows Moviemaker, it can read, but cannot 
write, movies larger than 4Gb. Looks like some sort of internal 32 bit overflow.

I am once again a unique snowflake, because in googling around I can find nobody 
else with this issue.

(I have many 6Gb video files, as they come from my old 6 hour VHS tapes made in 
the 80's. I decided to digitize them and throw the tapes away. VHS tapes are 
only supposed to last 10 years, I am frankly amazed that they are in good shape 
after 30. My video capture device generates about 1Gb per hour of video.)
