• 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!

  in windows movie maker, I made a film, but the disc will not play music of any other disk, in the past, I did what I do

  Hi Authorsz18,

  You are able to hear the music in the preview?

  Try to adjust the volume of an audio clip in the audio / music. And add music from the disc hard if you added songs to a DVD.
  1. right click on the audio clip > volume
  2 adjust the volume with the cursor.

• I am trying to create a movie with Windows Movie Maker to publish on Youtube.

  When I publish the movie with the .wmv extension, the film is only about half the screen upper and the lower half is green.  When I choose the .avi format, the file is too large to upload to Youtube(508MB). What should I do?  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!

• Is there a limit of 60 minutes, on images that Windows Movie Maker can record on a DVD?

  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.

  In general... a 4.7 GB DVD will take 1 hour of high-quality video.

• Windows Movie Maker problems Publishing a half green screen

  Everytime I try to publish a movie from Windows Movie Maker finshed product comes out with the bottom half of the greenery of the photo and only half scrambled upward.  Very frustrated.  Tried with MP3 music and not at all.  Nothing helps.

  I have no idea what a codec is and had to install Xvid.  But it worked great and was very very easy!  Thank you!  Happy Days!

• Window Movie Maker change my video clips to an audio file... Why?

  When I imported a WMM video clip which is a. AVI file and it fell on the timeline and read, I could hear no problem but the screen was black. I noticed that when I dropped it, it loaded to the audio track. So I checked the properties, and he said it was an audio file... why? How to recognize them as videos?

  I use WMM 6 on Vista Home premium 64-bit if that helps
  Thank you

• Windows Movie Maker-hardware error?

  While trying to save/burn a movie on Windows Movie Maker project, I worked, I got the following error message:

  "Windows Movie Maker can not be used because the required audio hardware is not found on your computer."

  Please help, its a long time that I've used WMM, but I used many times before and would be eaten: lose my project, thank you.

  It could be a codec/filter disabled, or inconsistent. In Movie Maker-> tools-> Options-> tab compatibility-> filters, see if your audio filters are checked (all others must be verified), if you haven't put the brakes on their topic.  If all are already checked, click on the "Restore all defaults" button. Other filters will be disabled, you may still need those disabled to run other programs installed them. Enable disabled filter a while then check that filter out the origin of the problem.

  If this does not work, it may be more of a need to get an extra codec rather than switch off. You can use the encoded Xvid or Divx files you need codecs. Make a search for K-Lite, DivX and XviD codecs and install them.

  I hope I could help

• Windows Movie Maker doesn't let me import my music because I need codecs. How and where can I get codecs?

  This is what comes up when I try to add music:

  The file cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.

  I tried to restart Windows Movie Maker, but it did not work.

  What is the format of the file music? Sometimes. MP3 files

• Windows Movie Maker will not publish my movie on my computer

  I tried to post this video to my computer from Windows Movie Maker. The video is long, only 42 seconds, so I doubt that there is a problem of length.

  When I try to publish the video, a dialog box appears and says "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've checked everything and nothing seems wrong or irrelevant. I had to completely wipe my computer about two days due to the 'Blue screen of death' experience, but I was able to install any new drivers and restore my computer to its factory settings. I don't know what to do. Help, please!

• My Windows Movie Maker won't let me publish my movie... Help!

  I tried to publish my movie I did on Windows Movie Maker to my computer, but about 65% in edition, it stops and says:

  =============================
  Just some thoughts...

  This happens usually when the source files are
  not totally compatible and also may be linked
  transitions.

  In Movie Maker, you could try to go into tools.
  Options / Compatibility tab and disable all
  the filters.

  Also you can try to convert your source files
  to different formats.

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

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

  And you can try to remove the transitions.
