Read many past posts and still I cannot save my movie to desktop and then
eventually to disc. I have cut my movie down from 20 minutes to 3 minutes (
17.5 MB) and still cannot save it. I have a new computer with approx. 125 GB
free space right now and have deleted much of the background activity. What
am I doing wrong??????

I accidentally posted this in the wrong group, but someone kindly informed me
of my mistake.

I'm using Windows Movie Maker with XP and no, no IE7. Now, when creating my
video there were no issues really. I saved it a couple times, but I didn't
actually have to open it again during its creation because I kept WMM running
the whole time I was making it. After it was completed I tried to save it as
a movie file. I've done this plenty of times with no issue, but the progress
bar stuck at 89%% and then the estimated time remaining went up. (65 seconds,
then 1 minute, then 4 minutes) I canceled and then attempted to save again,
but encountered the same issue. I restarted my computer and then when I tried
to open the project I was informed that WMM had enountered an error and
needed to close, so sorry.

It's very important that I rescue this file, because it was a creative
project and there is basically no way I could redo it. Especially because
when I tried to do that, create another version of it, I had the same error
when trying to open THAT saved file. However, WMM is okay when opening other
projects I've finished long ago, at least for now.

Please... can anybody help me, and soon?

Hi,
Can be used the Movie Maker to create a video witch frames to be parts of
an existing video's frames? So I'd like to cut a part of a video (if the
initial video size is 384x288 I'd like to use a 300x225 pixels from the
center of initial frames). If it couldn't, can you reccomand another solution?
Thank you

I have XP with SP2. MM was starting to crash on me more and more, especially
after adding audio. I followed the advice on papajohn.org to uncheck some
codecs in the MM options. Then crashes seemed less frequent, but after the
next reboot MM won't start - it says "Windows movie maker cannot be used
because the required audio hardware cannot be found on your computer."

I'm pretty sure I didn't remove any codecs specific to my sound card
(Realtek AC'97), but I uninstalled the sound card drivers, downloaded a fresh
copy and reinstalled them anyway. No change.

I've searched the web and found others having this message, but not because
of simply unchecking codecs. How do I recover? I have a deadline for this
movie (son's graduation in a week), with many hours of work yet to be done.

Thanks.
