For the first time for some reason windows movie maker wont save my current
video right.

I've saved large movies in the past but for some reason for this one when i
save it to my desktop as a media player file it cuts at 4min. Its a 6min
video and I've tried all the saving options.. changing the file saving size..

and now I'm just frustrated.. unsure how to make it save to the full 6min :/

Thanks so much for your help!

So reading some other posts I can get it to save all the way by doing the DVI
save but now the audio and video don't sync up haha.

Sorry...I don't have a definite solution.

Which file type should I use in Movie Maker?

And maybe it would help to do some system
maintenance. Running Error Checking, Defrag
and Disk Cleanup might help.

And...disconnecting from the net and closing all
programs including your virus scanner before
opening Movie Maker may help.
