• Cannot publish the Windows Movie Maker project

  I created the project video with Windows Movie Maker, but I can't publish on the computer, a dvd or as an attachment to e-mail.  The program continues to operate in the error "check the original source of file, a place edition available and available disk space and then try again."  How can I post in any of these formats?  What Miss me?

  This error occurs when the project is too big or too complex for
  system resources or it contains files sources (photos, video clips,
  music clips) that are not compatible with Movie Maker or corrupted.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

• Cannot open my saved Movie Maker!

  I worked on a film for weeks, save that I will. Now, I try to open again to finish, and a box will appear indicating that another user is open on this computer. But it's not. How can I open it?

  Hi slbscb,

  Method 1
  I suggest you to start Task Manager and check if moviemk.exe is running. If this is the case, put end to the process and then try to start Windows Movie maker.

  Method 2
  Try to open the video file created in clean boot.

• Windows Movie Maker - savings-older version

  HI - my daughter received a project to make a band trailer of the movie using Windows Movie Maker.  We have 6 Version, no problem.  But the school has V2.1.4026.0 with a Spk2 V5.1.

  The teacher said that we have to save the project, so it can be read by an earlier version of the software.  I went to the save option under and the "Save as type" gives only the option "Save as Windows Movie maker Project.  I'm sure it's a simple solution, but since this is our first experience with this package I need help.

  So, how to save a Version6 project file so it can be read by older Versions of Windows Movie Maker?
  Anyone?

  Hi Harleysfran,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Project files more Movie Maker version are not compatible with the lower version of Movie Maker. However, you can publish the project to .avi or .wmv format so that you can play these video files on any computer.

  But you cannot change the published video file.

• Cannot find Window Movie Maker in XP. Wanted to download Kodak Easy Share clips on a Web site. All I could do was save still images.

  Accessories / Movie Maker.

  If you do not find Movie Maker just go to... Start / run...
  type or copy / paste moviemk.exe and then press
  Enter to start Movie Maker.

• Windows movie maker won't save or burn to a cd

  I worked for 3 days, set up a movie with pictures and sound. When I go to save on the computer or save it on a cd, he gives a status bar that never changes to 0% and below it is a counter that indicates the remaining minutes. This counter goes well to the top instead of the bottom. the film that I put in place was about 25 minutes and I left the pc 9 hours and the minute was contrary to 3 600 000 minutes go. It's very confusing because I then dropped. I ended up using a program called dazzle to record video, but is very unstable and guard lock up when setting up a video image. hope someone has an answer for me. I am running win XP

  There is a small chance that you may have better results if you
  record in DV - AVI format. I will paste the instructions below.

  Also, it may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility
  tab and disable ALL filters before attempting to save.

  If your music files are something other than WMA format.. .they pourraient
  be the problem...  MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker.

  Several formats are apparently compatible
  with different versions of Movie Maker
  but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp, jpg
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

• Save a movie in Windows Movie Maker

  When I try to save a movie in WMM 5.2 I get the message "Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Check the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available and that there is enough free disk space and then are trying again. »

  I can still play the files in Media Player, but not in WMM.

  There is no version 5.2, so please go back to the help > screen on Movie Maker and read the last line for the current version of Movie Maker.

  You are apparently one of the "classic" versions of Movie Maker.  This message indicates that Movie Maker has problems with one or more of your source files.  The solution is to convert all the .wma music files and all the videos to .wmv.  Freemake (freemake.com) has a pair of converters that should work to convert your audio and video files well.
