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!

It happened once before, but it somehow went away after I restarted my laptop. I restarted my laptop, this time, but it has not worked.

OK, so I just finished put a video together. It consists of a Hypercam 2 record (which means it's a .avi file), a PNG image, text and a song (which is a WMA file).
~*~
I save the file, and then click Publish Movie. Everything goes well until the last step where the video is actually published. The window made a break for a while before you receive the following message;
~*~
"Cannot complete the movie publish .
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."

I know there are a lot of free space on the drive on my laptop (it's an Inspiron 1520), and that there is nothing wrong with any of my files. I tried to change places without result. It simply doesn't get it. It would be a great help to me if someone could tell me what is the problem :)

Windows cannot access the specified device path
I have a HP 2000 laptop with windows 7. I had problems playing a dvd. I can burn images and photos of viev on cd. When you try to play a dvd a message-" Windows cannot access the specified device path. You can have not permissions to access this item.

Hey @Stern07 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are unable to play the DVD on your laptop of HP 2000 by using Windows 7.
There may be an easier way to solve this problem, but it's the method that I am referring usually to when having this problem:
1. launch Regedit (Windows key + R > type regedit > click OK).
2. navigate in the tree of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > DVD > shell > play > order.
3. double-click on the (default) value on the right side of the split dialog box (String edit dialog box should appear).
4 copy the contents of the value data field.
5. click Cancel on the dialog box change the strings.Figure 1:
6. right click on the right side of the split dialog box
7. Select new-> expandable string valueFigure 2:
8. just press ENTER if the cursor is what allows you to change the name of the new value
9. double-click on the new value that you just created (Edit String dialog should appear)
10. glue the string that you have already copied in the value data field
11. click OK in the Edit String dialog boxFigure 3:
12. now on the left side of the split dialog box, highlight the folder HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command
13 right-click and choose export.
14. save this file in a location of your choice and a name of your choice.Figure 4:
15. close regedit.
16. go to the location you saved the file.
17. right click on the file, and then choose the Edit option (expected to launch the file open in Notepad (or any text editor).
18. you should see something similar to (not just copy and paste what I have below, because this PC has installed WinDVD):[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DVD\shell\play\command]
@= "Files \"C:\\Program (x86)\\InterVideo\\WinDVD\\WinDVD.exe\ '%1'.

When I burn a DVD using Windows DVD maker none of the captions appear
I made a movie with Windows Live Movie Maker from photos that had captions added to a photo editing program. It plays very well as a wmv on the computer, but when I burn it to a DVD with Windows DVD maker none of the captions appear. This can be corrected. I really want to remake the entire project by adding additional legends in WLMM.

Your profile seems to be corrupted. I could do this:- Create a new account. This also creates a new profile.
- See if the problem is resolved.
- If this is the case, move your data from the old account to the new account. To do this, you must temporarily promote your new administrator-level account.
Next time you have a problem like that, try to solve it immediately. The "System Restore" mechanism would have probably fixed it for you in ten minutes.
