I need some advise. I worked 4 months on a family movie for x-mas. Now that
I have completed the project I went to save the project to either a CD or my
computer. Neither worked!!

I get a variety of problems each time I try. Either I get the error message
that states "Ensure the destination is valid and the origianl source still
exist, make sure there is enough disk space available" (Something like that)
or I will start to save but the estimated time continues to climb until I
eventually cancel. I actually got a CD to burn a few times, but only some of
my pictures were shown the rest were blank, all the music did record.

I have been on microsoft support line for 3 hours and they are now
escallating this case up. I see many people have this type of error but I
don't know what to do to resolve.

Should I cut the video in half and save twice??? I don't even know how to
do that? The total video is only 188MB which is about 22 minutes of images.
HELP!! Christmas is coming

I was just wondering if you ever got an answer to your question. I am having
the same exact problem....also working on a Christmas gift and time is
running out.
Thanks!

Hi,
I also have the same problem. Audio and some photos recorded fine but when
I played it back OMG, 3/4 of the movie (photos and videos) were missing and I
was trying to show it in our staff meeting!
Any help from anyone out there would really be appreciated.

Caroline, this is typical of using file types that MM doesn't like,
such as jpegs use bitmap,
mpeg use dv-avi or wmv
MP3 use wmv/wma/wav
