Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location
From: patiotaiza
Message: I have a 5-minute project and trying to publish it on my PC I get the following message:
"Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough available disk space, and then try again. »
I have enough space available in my PC (8 GB on the left), search for the missing files and they are all OK, tried several different locations, editing... and it still doesn't work. I'm sad, can someone help me please?
Thank you!

Windows Movie Maker cannot complete publish movie
Everytime I try to publish my movie in Windows movie maker in ANY type of format or quality or size or anything I get this message.
Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Check the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.
It's all the source files are still in use, and I don't have any changed or moved to new locations since I imported in WMM.
The publish location is my office then yes its still there.
I have more than 170 GB left on my C drive, and this video is only about 600 MB in the best format possible.
So I try and try again and I can't seem to post in any size, any quality or any place on my computer.
Help, please.

Message "Windows movie maker has stopped working".
Original title: Windows Movie Maker
When you use Windows Movie Maker - the application generates the error message "Windows movie maker has stopped working" and close. What happened several times. What can I do to prevent this? I use Windows 7 and Movie Maker 2011.
Not sure, but have you tried to reinstall WLMM, or perhaps fix?
See - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938275/en-gb and try the repair option first.
Also, make sure that your graphics card and your PC sound card drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturers technical support for your PC brand and model site and see if there are newer drivers supported. If there is, and the repair does not help, try them. Make a restore point on your PC first, and if you like you should be able to "roll back" to your existing installation if you need to.
You can also try a SFC/scannow to see if that detects and repairs problems of any OS if the above does not help.

Well, I was very happy when the program doesn't stop after following your advice and unchecking above named filter. But then, after it scans the file (which is a progress!), he says he cannot continue because one or more of the files contains a codec that is not supported by AutoMovie. I don't even know what a codec IS. I know who was Kojak, and I know what is Kotex, but what the heck is a codec and how do I get one?
Thank you!
