Trouble saving to computer

This is my first time using Windows Movie Maker, and I have finished my
project, and now i am having trouble saving it as a movie to my computer.
When i try it saves only part of my images, but all of the audio. I have
tried saving under different settings, but it does it each time. My movie is
about 13 min long, and i plan on putting it on a DVD. Can anyone help me?

I'm having the exact same issues ... project at 15 minutes isn't that big;
I'm surprised that this should even an issue at this size. Haven't found
an answer yet, however.

The only way I found to get Movie Maker to make a complete copy was to
eleminate a lot of the video transition effects (as well as a few slide files
.... I was making a 'movie' slideshow). PAPAJOHN really isn't much help;
and, in fact, many of his posts border on being rude to people that are just
trying to get their programs to work (I didn't bother with any of his stuff
after reading several of his posts). You might also try the Q & A part on
this site. You can also try to save the movie with a smaller file format
(like "High Video Quality (small)" that you can find on the Movie Maker
program when you go to save the movie (unclick "recommended" and go to
'other' to see the different settings); however, when I choose the 'small'
size, it recorded everything but in poor quality. But this did tell me me
that there can be an issue when a particular movie is 'complicated' (has a
lot of video transitions, etc.).

I apologize to you and anyone else who feels my posts border on rudeness....
I try not
to read-any posts 'between the lines'... and hope you don't also.

===============================
"Isn't much help"? You can't be serious!

PapaJohn has practically devoted his
life to MS Movie Maker and PhotoStory...
If you search Google Groups for this ng
you'll find 11,000 messages from him
and don't forget his expansive website
and newsletter archive.

Just wondering what an unpaid MVP
volunteer would have to do before you
would offer a simple thank you instead
of a vicious insult?

I have a 35 min movie with lots of fades between pictures and was having
the xsame problem saving to the hd. I opened task manager and killed the msn
music process and the movie maker came back to life.
