Default Can't Save Movie to Local File


I'm experiencing an "all of the sudden" problem
saving a Movie File. I'm attempting to save it to "My
Computer" like I always do and then after completing the
wizard it waits a few minutes and indicates that it's
trying to write a Recordable CD format. At this point it
just sits there (i.e. no % progress) and the number of
minutes remaining is huge. I've been using Movie Maker
for over a year and this just started happening this
week. I've ensured that the save path is my local hard
drive and even tried saving to another hard drive in the
same system to see if that would work, but no luck. It's
also worth noting that I don't even have a Recordable CD
drive installed on the machine I'm using for this task.

Any ideas?

Have you installed any other apps or updates since the programme was working
ok? It may be something conflicting, perhaps try a system restore to check
on this if it's likely!
