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.

    Hi brianholl,

    1. what type of file you want to burn?
     
    Make sure that the video you are trying to burn are not damaged. To see whether the videos you want to burn is corrupted, try playing or viewing with Windows Media Player. If the files do not play with the player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn.
     
    The error message says to install the software for decoding on the computer in order to successfully burn the video DVD with movie maker. We recommend that you browse the disc that came with the camera to the cross check if there is no software to install.

  • Windows DVD Maker doesn't burn files .wmv/wlmp video high definition?

    Hey all,.

    Long time user WMM, but with the recent switch to Win7, I'm having a hard time with WLMM.  In short, create the movie in WLMM is a snap.  Burn a DVD quality is another story.

    I am using video clips high definition AVCHD from my new Sony CyberShot camera and showing the film on a Samsung 50 "720 p plasma.  If I burn a project WLMM created (Save Movie-> burn a DVD) and burn it in DVD maker, the quality is absolutely terrible on the plasma. It looks like an old VHS tape.  So, I guess the resolution 480 I saved is the problem.

    So, if I save the project with high-definition (720 p - 1280 x 720) in WLMM and try to extract this file in Windows DVD maker, I get the error "0 files have been added.  1 file could not be added.  The \xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx.wlmp file is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported. "How is it possible that Windows DVD maker cannot burn a file created by its sister product Windows Live Movie Maker?  Am I missing something here, trying to extract a file to DVD Maker WLMM, or is it not possible?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Just a thought...

    . WLMP is only the Live Movie Maker file... what happens if you save

  • Cannot publish the Windows Movie Maker project

    I created the project video with Windows Movie Maker, but I can't publish on the computer, a dvd or as an attachment to e-mail.  The program continues to operate in the error "check the original source of file, a place edition available and available disk space and then try again."  How can I post in any of these formats?  What Miss me?

    This error occurs when the project is too big or too complex for
    system resources or it contains files sources (photos, video clips,

    Several formats are apparently compatible with

  • Cannot publish the movie on Windows Movie Maker

    Hi guys,.

    I hope you can help me.
    I made a movie using Windows Movie Maker with video, photos, audio and added titles and transitions.
    The film lasts about 20 minutes.
    The size of the file is 1.31 MB
    I use Windows Vista
    All files are in the same place and no display of errors in movie maker
    I tried to publish the movie to my external hard drive which had plenty of available memory. After a few hours he failed and returned the error message below.  I then tried to publish it on my desk, which also has a lot of available memory. After a few hours it is again failed. I tried the WMV format. I then tried AVI format on my desk and it has too much, again after many hours.
    I get the error message is:
    "The video file cannot be published to the specified location. Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk, and then republish the movie again. »
    It took me a long time to collect the material, so I hope someone can help me out!
    Much appreciated!

    The error you receive usually indicates that your

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

  • 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.
