• Saving Movie Maker projects

  I have [success] produced a movie maker file and can't save. It seems that no matter if I save on my hard drive, or a format for uploading to a website (facebook), I get the same message all the time 'cannot complete the recorded movie Wizard' 'your film is was not successfully saved""verify that 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 available and then try again."

  I'll have no problem editing, import video/music and preview, but failed to save the final product

  Using windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3, on a Pentium (r) 4 CPU 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

• IAudio titles included in a Windows Movie Maker project, not included on the DVD-R disc.

  I recently created a movie using Windows Movie Maker software in my Windows 7 computer.  I used pictures and video clips and audio tracks in my Zune 120 software included.  After downloading the project onto a DVD-R disc, download included only the pictures and video clips... no music.  Before you download on the DVD disc, I presented in Premiere the film on Movie Maker, which clearly shows the video and audio files.  Any help would be appreciated.

• Error when you try to open a Windows Movie Maker. MSWMM file: cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file

  Help! Says the file can't be flat, .mswmm file, but the program made the film.

  I used the Windows to make a film, I scanned 458 pictures, done my book of stories, etc. with music - took a month... I "published" and now when I go to open it it says ' cannot be opened because it is not a valid windows movie maker project file? But the Director did, now I can't open it to all, it has an .mswmm file extension! Help, it's a gift for my dad who is going to be 70 and I have not yet a month to make it again!

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem but have 1 idea as to why I can't open my .mswmm file. I have two xp machines running sp3, but a pro and a home edition if it matters.

  the file.mswmm I am trying to open was created on the moviemaker version 2.1.4028.0 and it still works fine on this machine. On the xp pro machine, he is Director of windows 2.1.4026.0.

  So I try to install the movie maker 28 to my other machine I have a lot of files created with the 28 I want to be able to change on the other computer.

  =============================================
  The project .mswmm file is best to use the system that created
  because it takes all the source files... Video clips, Photos, music
  files... always be available at the original location.

  Moving from one computer to another can work if you move as best
  all of the source files. When you open the .mswmm file you will see
  Xs red instead of thumbnails of the source but if you right click the red Xs
  You should be able to navigate to the new location of the files sources and re-
  establish the path.

• Adding my own music to Windows Movie Maker projects & computers mi change project.

  I used Windows Movie Maker to make two DVDs for the graduation of daughter gifts.  I was almost done and tried to add my own music but can't seem to figure out how.  In addition, I discovered that my disc on my computer was not working so I saved my projects to a USB key and went to another computer.  When I opened the project format and title pages were there, but all the photos that I spent hours to download and organize projects disappeared.  How can I get my projects into DVD, and how do I add my own music in them?  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'm short on time.

  The Movie Maker project file does not include the source files
  (Photos, video clips, music videos) it simply records the path
  the files have been imported since the file/s.

  Whan you see red Xs where thumbnails used to be
  in Movie Maker, it indicates the original source files have
  been deleted, moved, renamed or is otherwise not available.

  If you had a backup file of all source files on your new
  system, you can right-click on the red Xs and get access to the
  location of the files and restore the path, otherwise
  you will have ot start again.

  With regard to the addition of your own music... If you have any questions
  import music files it is probably a problem of format.
  Convert music clips on the. WMA format before
  import into Movie Maker should provide a better result.

  There are many converters available on the net... the
  the following link is an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory (freeware)

• Movie maker project times shows more than the actual duration of the project.

  Original title: I have a project which lasts 23 minutes, but Director tells me that it is more than 24 hours long and I cannot add audio

  I had to stop my draft edition for 2 weeks and when I opened it I get this message (no error code)

  Hello

  1. What is the format of the project you are trying to open using Movie Maker (Power Point presentation, video)?

  2. it happens only with specific projects?

  3. have you made no changes of software/hardware on your computer before the show?

  These questions usually surfaces due to minor errors in editing the project. Try to load the source file once again and create a new project and check with the question.

• Windows Movie Maker project doesn't find or burns correctly in DVD maker overview

  I have created a Windows Movie Maker project, composed of many avi files (129 min) and I can see the entire project in Movie Maker, but when I go to burn a DVD in DVD maker I can only listen to excerpts from the first minutes 33 and the rest is a black screen with no audio (as if there's nothing there). Also when I burn a DVD only burn the first 33 min.  I tried to publish the project to my computer in WMV format, but I get an error when I try to open in DVD creation that the file is not indexed and cannot be opened in creation of DVD. I tried to uncheck the vidoe filters and that has not worked.  Help, please. I put many hours of work into this and am very frustrated.

  The file is too large and complex. The best would be to create
  several small projects... To each post in the. WMV or. DV - AVI
  format in a folder on your hard drive. Then you can import the collection
  video files in DVD Maker and each clip becomes a scene
  (Chapter) on the DVD. (You can have up to 18 scenes).

  The following links explain how to post:

  The following chart shows where the DV - AVI option.

  Also... for a project for more than two hours... There is a possibility that
  You may need to use a DVD Double layer...
