can't save file

[Guest]

Hi all,
I'm struggling to get out of this problem can someonne help me please?
I've got a 25min movie with transitions, captions and avi clips in the
content.
I want to save it as a dv-avi for maximum quality to write to DVD but when I
go to save the movie it says (as I'm sure you've all seen before)" Windows
Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the
original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving
location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space
available and try again" The location is there, the oigianl source files are
still there, I've got 1gig of ram, 203gb space on my hard drive with an
Athlon 3500+ chip and an MSI K9N Neo mother board with Nvidia 256mb Graphics
card. I have th same trouble on my laptop. Can someone help??

Hi John,

I read your link and it said that WMM2 doesn't like .jpg's so I changed them
all for .tif's and it works fine.
Thank you very much you're a star!
I haven't got much hair left to be able to keep pulling it out!
