Save movie stalls with large clips

I captured a 57 minute clip and now I want to save it. Its sitting in the
Video folder as a wmv file and I can simply play it. But, MM will always
stall when saving it. It seems like about 35 mb is the tip-over point. If
I split the clip into something about 35mb or 3 minutes and just save that
small clip as a movie, it works. Anythng larger causes a stall. I've tried
two different machine and the behavior is exactly the same. In fact, I
tried to use Roxio to save the wmv file and it stalls at exactly the same
place.

Mark,

I am another unfortunate MM user, but was lucky enough to save it -- at
least to disk. After reading all KB articles I could they inform that you
should have enough memory (physical RAM or virtual paging) for your file. It
could be the reason. Also make sure you have v2.1 (part of SP2).

If you are having problems when trying to save it to DVD... then we have the
same problem :( My movie is 2GB and also stalls and I have to hard-crash the
application altogether when this happens.

I have (at work) 1g memory, 4g swap, and 60g free disk space. Its a p4
3.2g. It still hangs. The clip plays fine in MM and in any other player.
But, I can't use the clip in any movie that I save.

I think I'll start over.

I'll capture the clip again using MM, but save it in a different format.
And, repeat until I get it right.

Any suggestions for capturing the clip? I think I'll browse over to
PapaJohn, who seems to have a nice collection of help.

I'm using a Belkin adapter. If anyone else is using one, make sure you get
the 'fixed' driver or you may get BSOD.
