Vista Tutorial - Windows Movie Maker Help!

airplane · 06-14-2009

I've been working for probably around 20 hours on a video in Windows Movie Maker. Everything plays great in MM, and all the files are in their original positions. But every time I try to publish the movie, I get this error message:

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 free space available, and then try again.

I don't know what to do next. I refuse to scrap all the work that I've done, and I really need to have it pretty soon. I've tried everything I know to do, including DEP, hardware acceleration, file size, and I did several other things, that still did nothing.

where are you trying to publish it to? HDD, DVD, CD? if it is the HDD make sure you have access to that location. DVD or CD make sure it is pointing to the correct drive, online publish not sure.
