What is the best video size (like 4x4) to upload to movie maker?

Answer
Normally, you upload the size that came from the camera. Be sure if it's HD widescreen that you change Movie Maker's aspect ratio to 16:9. In the XP and Vista WMM, go to Tools>Options>Advanced tab. For Windows Live Movie Maker, see the link below for a good screenshot of where Aspect Ratio is.

The Canon EOS T2i (550D) is an excellent camera. You have a lot to learn about using it but the quality of your photos and videos will be excellent so it will be worth it.
Many thanks for the Best Answer but now I can't reply to your other question so I'll have to do it here.
Your camera can output 4 different kinds of Videos: Full HD (1080p widescreen), HD Lite widescreen (720p), 640X480 @ 60/50 fps and good old Standard MOV files (which are also 4:3). If you just set the mode to Video, you're taking Standard MOV videos.
Whenever you change the video recording mode, you have to make a note of what it's been changed to so you can use the appropriate aspect ratio when you edit and you can pick the right size Save Movie option.
This review of your camera's video capabilities is a tad technical but the only file format that's produced seems to be MOV (MPEG4) files. At least they are encoded with H264 which gives them very good quality.

This lays it all out:
Format
Resolution Codec Frame Rate
1920 x 1080MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 24p
1920 x 1080MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 30p
1280 x 720MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 60p
640 x 480 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 60p
If, for some reason, your videos won't import to Movie Maker, try this little experiment that works for my MTS files which are also encoded with H264:
right click on one of the MOV files and click on Copy. Go to the Desktop, right click and "Paste". Now, right click on the file that's on the Desktop and click on "Rename". Change just the file extension, the last three letters - the MOV - to AVI and press Enter. A warning able the renamed file being unstable will appear. Click Yes/OK - you want to rename the file. Now, see if this renamed file will import into Movie Maker. Mine do. If they don't import, you'll have to convert them.
Turn on your camera. Put in into video mode. Press the Menu button and scroll through the options until you get to the recording mode. Press OK and make a note of what mode you're recording in. Click my avatar and email that information to me - along with what version of Movie Maker you're using and whether or not you can import the MOV files into Movie Maker.
And, yes, I know how confusing and brain exploding all this is right now but very soon, after you get used to it, it won't seem bad at all.
