Having trouble saving movie to computer. My movie is large, 142.14 MB.
Estimated disc space available on drive "C" is 64.46 GB. Keep receiving
message that Windows cannot save movie, check files and location & disc
space. All file & locations are present & more than enough space on "C" and
even a CD.
HELP!!!!

I've found that even editing a wmv and saving it with WMM almost does
nothing. If I could get the files into Pinnacle Studio, it would take
about 2 hours to save this 1 hour web demo file. In WMM ... it has
taken 8 hours and not budged from 5% saved. Is there some magic touch
with this app?
 
Well if it is taking THAT long to render your video then there is likely a
problem.
It could take that long if you had virtually no system resources to work
with but that isn't likely.
More likely it is due to a bad clip in your project.
What types of audio/video/still clips (extensions) are you working with?

I had the same problem, 41min movie (336MB). I got the whole movie to save as
a DV-AVI file (in the show more choices... Other settings: area) worked first
time. From what I understood of Papa Johns site I could then import the AVI
file into a story board and use the other save options. Haven't tried any of
that, but at the moment plays ok on Media Player.

If you want to understand it all, better reading something from someone who
knows more than me (I used the Papa John link) but thought I would mention
what worked for me.

All the best!
 
Yes you can reimport the DV-AVI and save it then as something else. I fail
to understand why you would but you could.
If your final destination is to be on a DVD then DV-AVI is what you want but
if you are only planning to use the video as playback on your computer I
wouldn't waste the harddrive space saving as a DV-AVI when using the High
Quality NTSC setting will give you the same quality and use FAR less
harddrive space.
Oh my sites pretty good too by the way :-)
