Cannot Export a Windows Movie Maker video
« on: February 10, 2008, 01:18:43 AM »
I'm trying to export a video in Windows Movie Maker, but apparently, it doesn't want me to. :rolleyes:

I get this error when I try to export:


I checked, and there is NOTHING wrong with the video. All the sources of the video clips are still there, and the folder where I'm trying to save to still exists. And I have plenty of HD space free (60 GB), so that's not the problem, either. I am baffled as to how this error is occurring, since there is apparently nothing wrong with the video.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance. B)

This happens to me from time to time. What I did was just restart Movie Maker and re export it, and it worked.

Doesn't help. Tried to restart the computer, but that doesn't help, either. <_<

Did you try Googling your problem?

Yes, but it only leads to the same advice that Movie Maker gives (which doesn't help because there's nothing wrong in the video itself).

I kinda figured you probably did try Googling. Thought I'd ask anyway though just to be sure.  :sunglasses:

Wish I could help, but unfortunately this is beyond my knowledge.  :(

Is this happening with only one video or all videos you try to export in Movie Maker?

I tried exporting a much smaller video and it exported fine. :unsure:

How do you know that for sure? What are the extentions of the files you have imorted and what is the extention of the final product? You might have some codecs overlapping.

All of the extensions of the files I've imported are .WMVs and the extension of the final product I'm trying to export is also .WMV.
