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.

Thank you

===================================
Looks like your project is too complex... and
It is also possible that one or more of your source
files is not completely compatible with Movie Maker.
Sometimes, it can help if you remove transitions.

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

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

  • 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 will not publish my videos properly!

    Hey guys. anyway I publish a video Director and 15 Minute long play through it fine, but after its publication, and I watch the video file it freezes at the same image (the media player does not freeze, he continues to play through, the video comes out badly) and all the audio stops and then the screen blacks on entirely for the rest of the video. Does anyone have a solution to this? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you

    Hi, Mike Vargas27,.

    (1) did you try to post another file to check if the problem is with this particular file or to do it with Windows Movie Maker?
    (2) what is the format of the file, which you try to publish a movie?
    (3) remember you to make changes to the computer before the question?

  • I can't publish a file using Windows Movie Maker despite after every single step and instruction

    I use Windows Movie Maker c. 5.1. (Build 2600) on a computer running Windows XP Professional 2002, SP 3. I try to publish a movie file which is a revised version of a WMV file. In other words, the original file is a file WMV is 534 MB.  I am editing the film by dividing and by deleting scenes, adding transitions and titles.  I am able to save the file (for a WMM file) but impossible to publish the movie.  I checked that (i) the files are in the correct location, (ii) the file does not exceed the limit of 4 GB, (iii) the destination does not exist (I tried everything from my desktop to video files).  I tried every possible resolution and the file type.

    I would change the software of movie at this point if I had not invested so much energy and time behind this project.  Help, please!

    Hello not happy with WMM,

    You get an error message when you try to publish?  If so, what is it?

    One thing you might try is breaking your video into 3 or 4 smaller sections and see if they work / will be published separately.

    See you soon

  • 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!

    More than likely you are using one or more sources

    Several formats are apparently compatible with film

  • 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?

    =============================
    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.

  • Windows Movie Maker - releasing only audio, is it possible to publish the exact length of the audio and does not include the lot of silent at the end?

    Windows Movie Maker - have 6 minutes of audio spliced, I would like to publish in the form of an audio clip with no video.  I heard that this is possible, and it all works, the 'framework' includes 6 more minutes of space without air circulation that gets compiled with the planned 6 minutes of audio matching 12 minutes of audio rather than the 6 minutes.  Is it possible to MovieMaker 'See' the end of my audio instend, to include 12 minutes in length with it default?  Should I include photos or video for the project to publish only 6 minutes, instead of the 12 minutes?   I hope this makes sense...

    I assume you are using Vista Movie Maker 6 and not Live Movie Maker?

    It is a problem that I've not seen before... the recorded length must be equal
    at times combined clips on the timeline. I guess it's possible
    If you've done a lot of editing/trimming clips... something was corrupted.

    I was wondering... If you import the .wma file saved in Movie Maker and drag
    it to the timeline... it shows the clip as being the length of 12 minutes? If it isn't...
    Perhaps you could he split and right click Delete unwanted 6 minutes and
    then re-save.

    Divide... drag the playback at the end of the music and the type indicator... CTRL + L
    .. .to split the file then right-click of the unwanted part and click on delete.

    Tip: Unlike clips video... audio clips can be dragged to the timeline, so don't forget
    they are dragged all the way to the left to prevent air from dead at the beginning or
    between the clips.

    It may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / compatibility... tab and the left click
    the "All default settings" button before the Save.

    And... If the clips audio source are not the. WMA format... it could be a useful
    try to convert them to WMA before you import into Movie Maker.

  • screen black in published movie in windows movie maker?

    OK, so I spent hours doing this video, with various videos of my last day of school. They are all from the same camera and suddenly under parameters of same, the problem is though, that after I have publish the movie, only a PART of the video is black screen, but with the audio, even after working perfectly in preview mode in Windows Movie Maker. In addition, it should be noted that the more time that I try to save the movie, more videos become black.

    What does that mean?! and how can I solve this problem?

    I'm not altogether clued the computer language or how they work, so yes im stressing because this video took me hours!

    Here's what I have now... If this is useful, it starts to go black around 8.55.
