Default mswmm will not convert to wmv file


Win XP Home SP2 and updated.

Created a movie maker project, using jpg's and music files and transitions
and titles but when I try to "save to my computer" (My Document/My Video
folder) after some minutes I get an 'error' message that says to check if
folder (to save to) is correct, if there is enough disk space (I have 67GB
free). The file is approx 260MB. Is there a file size limitation to convert?
What is happening here? Thanks for any help.

My original show ran like 45 min before my (someday) conversiton to dVD.
However to expedite editing, changes, and viewer patience, I have since
split it into 15 min segments at appropriate places. I use title screens
done on Photoshop, these get inserted at beginnning and end for info. And
numerous factual text screens to identify what is happening, who the people
are, etc. All for historical family slide show.....

Larry

PS yes John I WILL try the slide show yet!!!!!
