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
files that are not completely compatible with Movie maker.

Several formats are apparently compatible with film
Machine, but the most reliable choices are:

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

There are many programs that can do conversions...
The following freeware is an example...:

Format Factory

(the 'direct link' is faster)
(the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
(FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
('all' boxes on the last screen)

First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

Next, after the download and installation of Format
Factory... you can open the program and
left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
"Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
(this is where you find your files after they)
are converted)

Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

Select "all to WMV" / OK...

Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

That should do it...

Good luck...

  • 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

  • Windows Movie Maker will not publish my movie - gets 6% & goes no further

    I recorded a movie and brought it into Windows Movie Maker without problems.  Then I edited the film (not to add anything or only pruned and spliced).  Now, I want to save the movie as a movie.  However when I do it, he won't get to 6% and then if freezes.  It won't convert everything yet, I even left it at night to convert (made sure my computer has not turned off the coast) and he did not always get from 6 percent.  Is there another way to change to the film of a project that I can run on a computer as a movie?  Or do you have a solution to get movie maker to work?   -Thank you

    I have exactly the same problem.  I imported the file as a wmv file, originally created by Gotowebinar.  I was able to edit and cut the file, but when I try to record on my computer, sometimes at 1% ^ and freezes.  I've updated all my drivers and still no improvement.  I use WMM 2.6, so there must be another problem of compatibility.

    =============================================
    What kind of editing you did and you have not added a music file?
    If_Yes_what was the format?

    Before you save it... try to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab
    and uncheck the box 'All' filters / OK... then try to save.  If it still fails...
    try to save in the. DV - AVI format.

    To save a DV - AVI movie file...
    Type of... CTRL + P (or go to...) File / save movie file)
    to open the wizard movie recording.
    Choose... My computer.
    Next /.
    Enter a name and a location.
    Next /.
    Show more choices.

    Open the window of the droplet and choose... DV - AVI.

  • Windows DVD Maker will not play on the TV DVD player

    I have Windows Vista, and Windows Movie Maker to make a movie. I've published using Windows DVD Maker. I've made several copies and sent to various members of my family. While I was able to watch them when I tested them on my TV dvd player, none of my family members are able to watch their copies on their dvd players. In addition, when I insert the dvd in my computer's dvd player, it won't play either. How can I fix?

    Thank you. What I did just check "ffdshow" configuration and found that the codec for mp2 was disabled, so I let him. Now when I load the dvd into my computer it starts automatically.

    Now, my question is that I have to burn the new dvd for my family, so they can watch on their dvd player TV? Are their other codecs apart from that I have activated that must be adjusted so that DVDs can be found on other dvd players?

  • Window Movie Maker will not import a mp3 file get that a C: {file location} .mp3 error could not be imported

    OP: Window Movie Maker will not import an mp3 file. Why?

    I tried to imort a song from my music file which is in mp3 format, but the program won't. She won't tell me why, it just says: "C: {file location} .mp3 cannot be imported."  I imported 2 other songs that are the same exact format. Why is it cant import the file?

    Hello spardigus,

    1 - is the full error you get when you try to import the file?

    Some of the Mp3 files can be compressed in various formats. I suggest that you search information below and check out them if you are able to import the files.

    It might be possible that the file may be corrupted and is not readable by Movie Maker. I suggest that you copy the file to a different location on your computer and you are trying to import.

    Also check the size of the file. If it shows 0 bytes, there are good chances that the file may be damaged.

    I suggest that you try to convert this file to avi format using an Audio Converter. There are several converters which helps you convert the file in the required format. Convert the file and try to import.

    You can use your favorite search engine to find the program that will help convert the files.

  • Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.

    Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!

    I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

    You can show it to your friend...
    What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
    Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
    Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

    However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.

    I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound).

    It may be interesting to try to publish (Save project)

    It may help to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.

    Try to view your DVD project once more...
    If she is still unable to read the entire file... There may be
    one or more source files in the project that are not
    fully compatible with Movie Maker... several times that
    Maybe a MP3 music file or video clip MPG.

    Or the project may be too large and/or complex
    for the resources of your system. Too many transitions
    and the effects can make a complex project. The fix
    because it is creating small projects.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
