I don't get it. Nothing has improved with Vista. Windows still crashes and
hangs left right an center.
I had a WMM project comprising of Photos and Videos. I successfully
published it to the computer as a DV-AVI file. I then edit the project and
add more photos and video and now when I try to publish it, it get's stuck at
14% and shows estimated time to finish as 750 minuts !!
This happened twice. First time I cancelled it rebooted the computer and it
still get's stuck there, showing processing for hours together. The estimated
space for publishing is 20GB and the HDD has 60 GB free.
I really wanted to publish it directly to a DVD, but the link between WMM
and WinDVD maker never worked on my laptop. So I have to do this two stage
publishing. This is a brand new HP Pavilion laptop with 1 GB RAM, Core 2 Duo
T5200 processor and 160 GB internal along with a 300 GB external HDD. I first
tried publishing it to the internal HDD, it failed, I then tried to publish
it to the external HDD and it again loops around at 14%.
 
I have a similar problem. I just finished my first movie, when i publish to
computer it begins the process but stops about 11 percent. I dont recieve an
error but the time to complete increases to around 900 mins. I have made 3
attenpts with the same results, then i changed the output format to lower res
and the same thing happened. I am now attempting to write to a dvd......not
sure how much luck im going to have, seems like it is taking way too long.
any suggestions besides getting a new hobby :) ?

You may have some incompatibility issues
with your source files. The following article
addresses version 2.1 but I suspect the
info is also valid for version 6:

John, thanks i was afraid of that. I have checked space, source files
etc... (everything you had listed on the link) and everything is good. Im
running a dual core athlon fx 62 2.80 ghz, with 4gs ram, 250 gig HD and a 786
mb nvidia 8800 gtx, there should not be a problem with my system memory wise.

My source files are MPEG files from a sony HDD camcorder, i suppose ill have
to try a diff program to get these to work. Any recomendations?
