I have a movie that I am trying to save to my panasonic mini dv. I have the
ieee1394 firewire. When I try to save to the camcorder, I dont get an error
message, but it wont let me save it. I have read all the trouble shooting
stuff and I think I have that covered. I have modified the size of the file
when I save to CD or desktop and it will let me. I think the file is too
large when I create my movie. I have 9 songs and approx 1200 images. The file
shows only 254 meg before I save my movie. I cant see where I can change the
bit rate from the pc to the camcorder. I can save the file just fine and view
it in media player after changing the bit rate when going to the CD. Am I
just out of luck because the file is too big when recording to the camcorder?
Please help.
 
Movie Maker saves it as a temporary DV-AVI file and then copies it to your
camcorder... the file size is about 13 GB per hour of video... so check your
hard drive free space against the overall duration of the movie.

Rather than rendering it a number of times as you attempt the transfer, save
it to your hard drive as a DV-AVI file, and then use the WinDV utility (link
on my Setup > Other Software page) to copy the file to the camcorder...
