Windows Movie Maker won't save my edited properly film

I am using Movie Maker on Windows XP.  I imported and edited my movie, but when I try to save the edited composeepar I just get a 6kb file that does not play.  Can anyone suggest what I do wrong or a solution please.

Thank you volunteers J.  I saved the project successfully and have tried the first method you suggest without success.  I'll try the second now.

=================================
If save movie file fails you may have used
some incompatible source (clips video, pictures files,
music files).

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

Also... If he is a large project complex... that could
be the problem and create small projects may
Maybe the answer.

  • Windows movie maker won't save or burn to a cd

    I worked for 3 days, set up a movie with pictures and sound. When I go to save on the computer or save it on a cd, he gives a status bar that never changes to 0% and below it is a counter that indicates the remaining minutes. This counter goes well to the top instead of the bottom. the film that I put in place was about 25 minutes and I left the pc 9 hours and the minute was contrary to 3 600 000 minutes go. It's very confusing because I then dropped. I ended up using a program called dazzle to record video, but is very unstable and guard lock up when setting up a video image. hope someone has an answer for me. I am running win XP

    There is a small chance that you may have better results if you
    record in DV - AVI format. I will paste the instructions below.

    Also, it may be worth trying to go to... Tools / Options / Compatibility
    tab and disable ALL filters before attempting to save.

    If your music files are something other than WMA format.. .they pourraient
    be the problem...  MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker.

    Several formats are apparently compatible
    with different versions of Movie Maker
    but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp, jpg
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  • Project Windows Movie Maker won't play in Windows Media Player

    I created a 'film' in Windows Movie Maker - not a bad little program.  I used to be a professional video tape, and you can do things with Movie Maker and that you can't do with the edition of tape cassette - even in a television station in a big city.

    The film plays well in Movie Maker, but he won't play in Windows Media Player (Version 11).  I have Vista Home Version on my computer.

    I want to be able to send e-mail to friends and family who do not have Windows Movie Maker - but have Windows Media Player (not sure which versions have all my friends).  Until now, whenever I try to play the movie in Media Player, I get the following message:

    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.

    When I click on the "get help from web" button, it takes me to this page:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6002.18111&ID=C00D1199&ContextId=83&OriginalID=80040265

    This page does not give me the solution to the problem and gives me no option to download/install the codec I need.  I don't know what a codec is and don't really care to know.    I just need to know:

    Should which codec I?

    Where can I download it?

    What are the two products of Microsoft.  Can they be compatible?  One of the options presented during "editing" the file is to be sent by e-mail.  Not much good if the e-mail recipient is unable to play.

    I can also play the movie using Real Player or I-Tunes - but it of okay for me if they work in these players or not, since my friends and family would be no players on their computers.

    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 won't play .mpg - files.

    When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

    Audio--> OK
    Video--> NO

    Windows Media Player--> video + audio
    Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

    Hi tom,

    Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

    Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

    In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

    I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

    If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

    I think that will do, let us know whether.

  • Windows Movie Maker won't let me publish my videos!

    When I 'publish on this computer' dialog box is and does is display "Estimating Time."... "no matter how long I leave it. does not, never the numbers on time. It does not have a file instead I specified, but it goes to a few bites and then stops. I have no idea why he would do that.

    Check the file formats that you had inserted in movie maker. You might have used files that are not supported by the Director.
    Photo: jpg, png, bmp
    For video: WMV, AVI
    Music: mp3, wav, wma

    Note: If you use google for formats of files supported by Windows Movie Maker, you will find that the list is much longer than what I've listed. This is because I find those on my list are the most reliable and you don't have to worry about not having the right codec for files.

  • 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?
     
    Refer to the below mentioned method and check if it helps.

    Movie Maker (.wmv) file

    I have a movie I did with Movie Maker. I've lost the source (those used to create the movie) files. Is it possible to open the .wmv file and import all the images in a folder on my desktop?

    You could make screenshots in Movie Maker by using the 'take a picture '.

  • Windows XP SP3 Movie Maker won't save

    When I try to back up / finish my film on my PC I have the following error: unable to save film to the desired location.  Check the source of origin used in your movie are still available, that the backup location is still available, and that there is enough available disk space, and then try again.

    I confirmed and reconfirmed each of these are true, original source is available, backup location is still available and there is enough available disk space - but it always displays this error.  Any suggestions?

    Some suggestions just to get.
    Try other locations. easy to move again later if it works.
    If it is very detailed, it may be too much all at once, so save it in
    2 parts.
    Sometimes, so really, I have written the source of many times and rearranged
    It would reach a kind of limit. If this is the case, start with the source
    cut into even pieces and after getting something that you like, save it.
    start a new piece with who finished first, and then build from there.
    It's such a fun program, wait until you get the version of win7. It is obtained
    better transitions and wide screen HD options. It is more difficult to change with the storyboard segmented table and reset after each recording legends, which, for a 3-4 minute song
    60 times picking means "BOLD", size, color, length, and method, but the video is
    the main goal, instead of just a small place. Best pre installed program ever.
    I even made my ringtones with it.
