Windows Movie Maker keeps crashing when I try to publish the movie!!

Hi,

I've created a 10minute movie in Windows Movie Maker. Took me ages as I divided up a lot of clips etc. etc. I also put music to it. When I press "publish movie" it goes through all the options then when I press to publish it it comes up with the bar that the percentage would increase in but the whole lot crashes. I read a few threads and converted the music files from mp3 to wma but this hasn't made any difference. I don't want to have to re-do the entire movie as it took me ages and I can't bear to concentrate that much again and put so much effort in knowing that it still might not work at the end.

Anyone? Help? I'm getting INCREDIBLY frustrated.

Thanks in advance

 

I did our school's first DVD Yearbook with WMM and lemme tell you: It crashes ALL of the time. This happens to many many people (just google WMM crashing ), and I don't think there is a real fix other than trying an upgraded version or an alternative (Pinnacle Video Spin is a good one).

You can try again, just make sure to save often (Ctrl+S).

 

yup this happens to me quite a few times.
how big is the 10 minute video EllieT as the converted video's can turn out massive.

other option is to download the trial version of pinnacle 14 HERE think its about 1.9gb download though.
if thats too big search for the older versions of 10 or 12 and they might be a smaller file size.
