I have a problem with Movie maker... When I try to save my movie file, it gives me an error saying I don't have enough space or maybe some of my video files are gone or corrupted. none of that stuff is true because I have 19GB of space left and I played through the video 3 times on WMM. Everything is fine but moviemaker thinks its not. How do I fix this because I spent 3 days on this video and I really want to release it.

Can you post exactly what the error comes up with?

"Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again."

I have all of those things fine...

How much RAM are you running? MM could actually be running out of RAM before the movie is completed. Also how long is the video?

Also try some solutions from here: http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Issues-Acce ... odecs.html

Forgot to ask, what version are you using and have you updated to SP2? I cant seem to find anything that can solve the problem. Even on Microsoft's site. One more thing I can suggest is do you have the correct permissions to save to the location? And are any of the movie files you using set to Read-Only?

I've had the same problem with WMM2.

The video I made was 7 min. and it had alot of video-effects in it and many clips on the timeline.
What i did was split it up in 2 parts, save them sepperatly and then pasting those 2 parts together with WMM2.

Problem solved

None of the files are read-only. I'm using WMM2 and I have XP-SP2. I definetly have permissions to save the file there because its in My Videos.

Try what Master M is saying. Sometimes if you have shedloads of clips and effects, it can cause MM to have a fit. If it doesn't work, let us know. This is doing my head in...

I did have tons of clips in the 2nd half I made. the first half only had around 15. And moviemaker still keeps showing me the same error! D=
