Hi! I am trying to save a 30 minute movie on my computer HD, everything goes
well, the programm saves my film OK (it takes about 35 MB on computer), then
I push finish button. Then I am trying to view my movie with Windows Media
Player and I see a black screen and hear audio. I tried it at least 10 times
with the same result - no video only audio in the saved movie.

My movie consists of video/audio footage taken with SONY digital camera,
transitions.

The only thing I did change on my computer - put the virtual memory to the
maximum size possible to avoid problems with movie saving. Then I could be
saving my movies without freezing, but the saved movies have no video.

I've got about 9 GB of HD space, and 60 GB on local HDD. So it doesn't look
to be the problem of insufficent memory.

I f anybody had the same probleme, please help!

Dear Graham,

Thank you for your reply. I would like to describe prcecisly what I do.
First I take video clips with SONY digital camera. Then I upload videos from
camera to computer and store it in a folder on hard drive. Then I use Movie
Maker to put these video clips into a film using transitions. When the movie
is ready I save the film file to computer hard drive. The problem begins when
I attampt to watch my movie file with Windows Media Player, namely I hear
audio but see no video. I have split my movie into shorter portions and
saved them, and the problem's gone. But when I save the complete movie (about
30 miniutes) the problem persists.

I wonder especially because I have 9 GB of HD, 60 GB of local HDD, 256 MB
RAM.
