Windows Movie Maker

petticoat9 · 11-07-2009, 11:50 PM

I've never joined a forum, but I'm desperate to find the solution to why my windows movie maker movie won't publish. So far, I've made and published over a dozen, but suddenly I can't get these last two to publish. It just never gets past 80-99% completed. ALL of the videos have been made with video or sound recorded from my SD chip out of my basic Cannon Powershot digital camera. Just simple home video stuff. I need a solution by Wednesday

. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Does the file play fine? Sometimes the encoding process will halt when there's corruption in the middle of the file.
I can't vouch that this will work, but you can try it.
Get VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org). Unzip it and run it. Click file, open. But before you pick your file, check the box "ask for extended options after this dialog". Check the boxes "re-derive keyframe flags" and "open in avifile compatibility mode". I don't recall which one it is, but one of them forces the whole file to be scanned.
Click video, direct stream copy. Then file, save as AVI.
Now try running your publishing on the alternate file. Like I said, this might not work (it mostly relies on the guess that there is corruption at the 88% mark, or where-ever, and we're hoping virtualdub skips over the bad sections when producing its output)

There is a Windows Movie Maker forum specifically for that program.
