mswmm is the file extension used for WMM's project files. It's not a video yet in the usual sense. You'll have to choose "Save Movie" from WMM's File menu and render your project out to a file -- the default is WMV, but there's a guide somewhere on how to save to AVI (which will usually have to be compressed in Virtual Dub).

hth,

Unfortunately, Microsoft's stopped offering WMM2 as a separate download.

You can get WMM2.1 as part of Service Pack 2, or you can download WMM2 from download.com (I'm told they have it somewhere there).

Extending on Scintilla's explanation:
WMM 2.0
