Movie maker stops saving

When ever my son tries to save a movie that he made it will stop saving at
around 22 to 26% depending on the length of the movie. If you run it around
12 minutes it seems to work fine, but anything over that we can not get it to
save into a format to burn on disc. His friend has had the same problem. HELP!
 
Since it is always around the same time apparently regardless of the content
the first thing I would check is to see if the HDD is formatted NTFS or
FAT32. If it is formatted FAT32 you have a 4GB filesize limit and that could
be the issue. To check this open "My Computer", right click on the HDD and
click "Properties"
The [General] tab should be showing and you should see "File System: (NTFS
or FAT32)"
Otherwise find out what types of files are being used (file extensions)
because certain ones like MPG, JPG, MP3 do not work well with Movie Maker
and could also be causing the issue.
