I am attempting to send my completed video back into my dv camera and it creates the temp file to do this then as soon as the temp file is complete it tells me that it was unsuccessful. It is a 12gb file about 55 minutes. I am able to send a smaller video to the camera, so I'm stumped!
 
Try saving it on your hard drive as a DV-AVI file, and then using the WinDV
utility to copy it to the camcorder. There's a link to the utility on the
Camcorders > Intro page of my website. If it doesn't work, it'll help you
determine the issue.

Thanks Papajohn, Your suggestion helped, here's what worked. I couldn't convert it to an avi file for some reason (Who Know's) so I conveted it to a High Quality Video NTSC file and then imported it back into moviemaker 2. I was then able to send it to my dv. This was a lot of work just to send it to the dv, don't you think? I've noticed that others are having what seems to be the same problem. This seems like program error! But then again...
 
If you use MM2 to send it to the camcorder, it saves it first as a temporary
DV-AVI file, then copies the file to the camcorder, and finishes up by
deleting the temporary file.

If you got it to use the High Quality NTSC file to start the process, then
my guess is that the first rendering to a DV-AVI file ran into the
complexity factor that is associated with memory, and didn't successfully
finish, so it wasn't a transfer issue to the camcorder. By making a WMV file
first, you let it get by with a bit less memory needs as it rendered the
temporary file.

Just guessing from a distance. Glad it worked.
