Movie Maker cannot publish?
When I try to publish my movie in Movie Maker, it comes up with an error saying:
In Movie Maker... it may be worth trying to go to... Tools /.
Options / tab compatibility and left click Restore
All values default button / OK.
And maybe the source files are not completely compatible
with Movie Maker. Best bet would be to convert the
. AVI clips on the. Before you import into WMV format
Movie Maker.
There are many converters available on the net... some
free... some detail.
The following freeware converter is just one example:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

Format Factory (freeware)

(the 'direct link' is faster download)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup290.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the final screens)
(Windows XP / Vista / 7)
First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag > FFSetup290.exe< out="" of="" the="">
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.
Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)
Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...
Select "all to WMV" / OK...
Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...
That should do it...
Good luck...

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.

Windows Movie maker can publish no film because of "missing" files
When I publish the movie says he can't because the files are missing. Howere there are no files with the Red X that would indicate a file is missing. All files seem to be taken into account. Any suggestions on how to find the file Windows Movie Maker believes Miss? \
It's very frustrating, as is the level of «support "of Microsoft.»

No guarantee, but it might be interesting to try to publish your

Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.
Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.
I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.
I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.
Thank you

If Windows Movie Maker video publishing gets crushed half size
Hello
I have Vista Home Basic and whenever I publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker, even if I don't cut and regardless of the length of the film, if its 3 minutes and 3 seconds, the end result is that the video is compressed vertically and the lower half of it is a green screen Uni. Half top shows the entire video, but she is crushed to half its normal height. Even the icon on my desktop shows the Green band at the bottom half. Before that, all right. I can change everything normally, but when he did publish, the final product is messed up. I don't get an error message. The files I'm trying to edit/publish are. AVI. I don't have any other file types to test and see if it's only this type of file, originally a problem.
Anyone know what is happening?
Oops, sorry.
I followed your link, a search in this forum for "Publication of Windows Movie Maker error" and came up with a net with this linkhttp://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=884 follow the instructions and it doesn't work, so I followed the directions again and this time no selected
in the region of , click on and it worked! The Green band is gone! Normal appearance vids! Thank you! -
