when saving my finished project all goes fine until the saving window... the
saving process would start but the counter for the estimated time starts..
instead of becoming lesser the time gets longer and long with no completion
of saving.

my file size is only 70 mb and i have 60 gb of free space so its not the
file size. what could be wrong??
 
I was having the same problem trying to save a 4-minute clip. MM would start
calculating how long the action would take, and just keep going. The first
time I walked away and when I came back it was up to over 6,000 minutes!

The problem seems to have been with the codec I had installed (Cole2K Codec
Pack V5.57 Advanced which I had downloaded from cole2k.net). Originally, I
had been unable to convert my file from .vob to .avi with the default codecs.
I uninstalled the Cole2K codec and installed the K-Lite Codec Pack from
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm That immediately
fixed the problem. (When I had installed the Cole2K pack, it had tried to
install a screen saver, which made me suspicious).

I also had to boot with no other foreground applications running (by holding
down the left shift key while logging in) to keep MM from freezing on my P4
PC with 1 GB RAM and 10 GB free HD. MM seems to be a huge resource hog.
