Windows Forum / Windows XP / Movie Maker / May 2008Help to Save Movie to computer
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?????? > Read many past posts and still I cannot save my movie to desktop and > then eventually to disc.

What am I doing wrong?????? ================================== Your answer may be in the following articles... file compatibility may be the issue...

It does not seem that I have any memory quota problems. Already uninstalled, reinstalled W media Player. That did not help. As I mentioned my movie in only 17 MBs (3 minutes)and my current memory is at 125 GBs. Any suggestions? I am also a newbie and do not understand much of this computer language, but am learning quickly. Any other information would be greatly appreciated. > > Read many past posts and still I cannot save my movie to desktop and > > then eventually to disc.

SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk Thank you for trying to help me with this problem. I am not sure it is a conversion issue, since I have been able to save 4 short movies from WMM onto my desktop (approx. size 20-30 MBs) as WMV. Do you have any suggestions what I could try? > > I have already read papa john and tinyurl info. and movie maker help > > topics on this problem.

SignatureJohn Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk Thank you for responding so quickly.
