| | Won't publish! I have a 5 minute-long project and when trying to publish it to my PC I get the following 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 disk space available, and then try again.' I have enough space available in my PC (8 GB left), checked for missing files and they're all OK, tried with various different publishing locations... and it still wont work. I'm sad, can anybody help me please?? Thanks! |

You may have some incompatibility issues with your source files. Have a look at the following articles: Movie Maker 2 - Problem Solving - 'Can't Save A Movie' http://tinyurl.com/yjvztz or http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Issues-CantSaveMovie.html File type compatibility with Movie Maker http://tinyurl.com/v8tee or... http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutor...patibility.htm Which file type should I use in Movie Maker? http://tinyurl.com/6n66g3 or... http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutor...MovieMaker.htm -- John Inzer MS 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 |

| | Re: Won't publish! I forgot to add that I have published several movies before (in the same computer, with some of the same source files), so I dont know why this one is being so weird...but Ill check the links you mentioned, thank you very much! By the way, if that doesnt work, is there a way to uninstall the program and then install it again and still keep the projects Ive made? Can I install the older version of Movie Maker maybe? I really cant lose that project and I cant get any work done either cause Im afraid Ill add more minutes to it and then be unable to publish it... I really appreciate your help, thanks!

There's a light version of Movie Maker for Vista but your source files may still be the problem.

| | RE: Won't publish! I have the exact same problem! It is so frustrating. The video clips were origionally AVI but they kept freexing while I was editing, so I converted them to WMV and it wont save, so I converted them back and I have the same problem as the 1st one! Do you know any other formats Windows Movie Maker takes? Frustrated!!

| | Re: Won't publish! What AVI codec do the files in question use? If you have buggy AVI codecs, it's going to be really hard for anything to convert them effectively. =\ -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
