Problems converting my finished Movie file to CD

I've been working on this movie file for a few months and finally completed
it. I have tried to click on the Save to CD and Save to my computer numerous
times. Just for information, the file is only 20 monutes long with just
pictures and a few movie clips that I imported through Movie Maker. But when
I try to convert the msmmv to CD it takes about 10 minutes to complete - I
even get the message that the file has completed and click finish option
appears. The problem is that the whole file does not completely convert to
the CD. The new file will play for about 8-9 minutes and the picture will
freeze while the music continues to play. When you try to advance further on
the timeline, it won't display any additional pictures after the frame it was
freezing on. I have tried to convert it 5-6 times and I get the same result.
Even tried shutting down cause I thought it might be a memory issue. My
computer is brand new - Dell XPS710, 4GB memory, 768 Video card, and a TB of
hard drive. Any help on trying to get this resolved would be greatly
appreciated.
 
I think it's a run-out of RAM or resources thing while converting; since you
have so much RAM, I'll go with the resources clue. Maybe it will only
successfully finish a 12 minute file? I'm having similar problems with
incomplete conversions even with a different program if the file size is gonna
be too big. It crapped out at around a 145 MB file for me yesterday on a 512 MB
RAM machine, and it only did 1/3rd of the file so I can't convert the 2nd 2/3rds
of the file.
