• Windows Movie Maker: I can't complete my film

  I'm pretty computer savvy, but could not understand this problem. I got a new computer which is Windows 7. Windows Movie Maker was not about it, so I downloaded the free version of Windows Movie Maker 2.6. It worked fine for awhile and I recently did a short video successfully without any problems. Until a few days ago when I tried to finish another movie and save it on my computer, it won't in a movie. I tried all the different film settings to save my movie about the file size, quality, etc., and yet, it will not save. I get the same error message stating "unable to complete the Save Movie Wizard. Your film is not properly registered. This project contains files which are lacking or which have been modified after importation sources. Your project cannot be saved as a movie until the source files have been located or deleted from the project. "I checked that all the different files where not moved or changed on my computer, they were where they were when I made the film. I also tried to save my film previously saved successfully to the movies again to make sure that he had nothing to do with the current files and it wouldn't save. I tried to read single movie files, which are in the film, apart from Movie Maker, and they play very well.  I have a lot of space on the hard disk on my computer to save on. I don't know what the problem is. My computer model and manufacturer is a Dell Inspiron if that makes a difference.

  I'd appreciate any help what so ever to solve this problem.
  Thank you, Shelly :)

  Later came across the same problem when recording as "high definition (720 p). But re - start Movie Maker solved the problem. Definitely seems a problem of memory [leak].

  Windows Movie Maker says something like: "video may not match the disk.» Make sure you have only 60 minutes of video on storyboard table".  Is - this WMM all can handle?  It's a standard 4.7 GB DVD-R.

• 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.

• HP Pavilion a6110n PC stops when you publish movies with Windows Movie Maker

  I use Windows Movie Maker to try to "Publish movie" for playback on a computer (creation '. ") WMV files") [200 MB of files created for 15-minute video].  When I run the app, even by itself, with no other applications running, the PC fan starts strong.  If the computer has served for a period of time, the computer will be completely and suddenly close, before ending the video creation.

  If I run Movie Maker when you first start up the computer, the machine can finish successfully creating the film without stopping.

  I don't know what I need to upgrade or replace.  The CPU is overheating?  Or the video card?  Or both?

  If I need to replace the fan, any suggestion would be appreciated.  (I'm talking a CPU fan? Graphics card fan? or what?)

  My PC Specs:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium SP1

  4 GB memory

  320GB SATA Hard Drive - 40GB available

  AMD 64 x 2 Dual Core processor 4400 + 2.30 GHz

  Hi, Yes this video rendering really puts a load on your cpu!  The first thing that comes to mind, and the easiest to fix, is simply clean up the inevitable dust bunnies that accumulate inside the tower.  Have you already checked for that?  If this is not the case, remove the side panel of the tower and clean all the dust, especially around the heatsink from the processor.  Compressed canned air works very well for this.  Here is your product guide that shows how to remove the side panel: a6110n be sure to unplug the power cord from your machine before you start on it!  And let us know what you found.

  In addition, I think that you may know this already because you have taken the trouble to include in your listing, but your hard drive is too full.  Vista is a resource hog, memory and available disk space.  He needs a lot of space to work.  And if it doesn't have enough room, it makes your memory and cpu have to work hard.  You ran a disk clean up lately?

  Start button-> computer-> right click on drive C: Local-> properties-> click "Disk Cleanup".  A pop-up window appears.  I put a control over everything on the list.  Then click on the 'More Options' tab at the top of this window, look under "system restore and shadow copies ' and click on 'Clean up '.  Which may take several minutes if you have not done before.  When it's finished, go back to the top of this window, click on 'Disk cleanup' and click the 'OK' button at the bottom of the window to remove all the files that you checked.  You must THEN run a defragmentation.

  In my opinion, and depending on how much space you freed up with cleaning the disc, you will need to spend at least 50 GB of your data files on this hard drive and maintain.   And then you need to add an additional hard drive to your system.  Many options for this just depends on your exact needs.

  in any case, it's my ideas.  If cleaning the dust bunnies and the hard drive does not resolve the problem then perhaps someone else on the forum will be able to helpl with more technical type suggestions.  I think they're going to need additional information about your system, however.  For example, I noticed that you added 2 GB of RAM.  And you mentioned something about a graphics card fan, but your machine came with integrated graphics.  Also added a video card?  If so, exactly what video card do you have installed and have you also changed the power supply?  Any other changes to your machine to factory specifications?

• Windows Movie Maker Publish Movie

  Hello

  I spent hours creating a first year at the video in Windows Movie Maker for my son's birthday tomorrow. I can't publish it on the computer or on a DVD. I'm on a Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit system. I imported AVI and MPG video from a FLIP camera and a Sony digital video camera. I've also embedded JPG photos and audio (from iTunes and Amazon MP3). The total playback time for (in the storyboard table) is a little more than 15 minutes. I am using transitions. I have a lot of hard drive space, close to 30 GB free. I have successfully used my DVD burner in the past... and even with success created a Windows Movie Maker Movie and engraved on a DVD in the past... but this 'film' contained only a video and then just a bunch of pictures.

  First of all, I tried to post my new project on the computer but she never completed. I left it overnight and it was still stuck at 20% (or almost) in the morning. Then, I tried DVD edition that opens Windows DVD maker. Yet once it never ends... it gets stuck anywhere from 1.2% to 68.4% with each try... even if it has slowly increased in percentage with each test.

  I tried to uncheck all filters under Tools-> Options and actually got a DVD to burn, but all the. Videos AVI were black. The filters that I need to leave for. AVI files continue to work? I also replaced all the music from iTunes with music WMA format files and try to burn another. Now it is stuck again at 67.5%, and I'm guessing that it never ends.

  What should I do to get this published thing? I am so disappointed and frustrated... I have hours invested in this thing.

  Thank you

  ===================================
  Looks like your project is too complex... and
  It is also possible that one or more of your source
  files is not completely compatible with Movie Maker.
  Sometimes, it can help if you remove transitions.

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

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

• publication of slow Windows movie maker

  Hello

  I use Vista os and I have 4G of memory, double two Core with e7300. I use Windows Movie Maker version 6.0.6002.18273. When I publish (join) several files together speed seem to be very slow, especially when compared to Movie Joiner or Ultra Video Joiner.  For example, a file size of 600 MB WMM takes approximately 60 minutes to complete whereabout other programs only takes a minute. That's a lot of difference here. I wonder if there is something I missed here. Maybe some plugins? Or is there some setting I forgot? The computer is defragged and works very well.

• What kind of cd/dvd is the best for my video Windows Movie Maker filled and how can I burn it?

  OK... I've published my Movie Maker presentation.  It will be presented via a laptop computer and projected.  First of all, what kind of cd/dvd I need?  I know that this information is listed under the HELP section of the Movie Maker program, but what do you propose to help?  AND THEN... How can I do to burn video on cd?  I got to the question re: given dvd vs dvd-video and was confused (sorry... it doesn't take much!).  In my mind, it's a video, but the explanation stated that in this format must then be read via a dvd player.  Finally it can be read that way and it would be nice to have this option, but my goal is now to have played through a computer laptop and projected.  I tried to save it as a video dvd last night, but after almost two hours of "transformation" (my video completed is approximately 3-1/2 minutes), I eventually escape and stop.  Can you guide me through this in simple terms?  Thank you!

• Unable to download Windows Movie Maker 2.1

  With Windows XP, Windows Movie Maker 2.1 should be automatically downloaded with SP2.   I have Windows XP and use Movie Maker for a few years. Today, I had to do a destructive system recovery. The recovery got Windows XP (SP 1).  After that recovery was complete I downloaded and installed all Windows updates essential, including the SP 2 and 3, but I still don't have Windows Movie Maker 2.1. I went to Windows updates several times and tried to find Movie Maker without success. The date of search engine update takes me to the elbow that lead me to updates of Windows where I can not find the Movie Maker download.

  It is without a doubt part of SP2 and do it. It is perhaps missing in the menu accessories.

  Search for "C:\Program Movie Maker\moviemk.exe".

• 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
