Missing Source Files are not missing in my eyes.

[Guest]

I have tried to save a movie file onto a cd, my computer, my dv camcorder,
but a message appears saying that "this project contains source files that
are missing or that have been modified after import.... Files cannot be
saved until located." Well, I looked through the project several times and
did not find one clip, picture, or sound source that was missing or
misdirected. How can i find them?
Thanks

Just wondering...what is the format of the file
you are trying to burn on the CD? .wmv, .avi,
or.mswmm?

..mswmm is your project file and is not a
completed movie because it does not contain
the source files.

You can save in a movie format...wmv or .avi...
with the following steps.

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as an .avi movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

Yes, I have tried that, but still, the smae message appears about source
files missing. What else can I do to mend the project?

Even though the error message doesn't say it this error tends to come up
when using MPEG video files in the project.
That may or may not be the issue here but on the chance that it is what
video types (extensions) are you working with?

I have the same problem. Jakesnakes suggestion did not help. I have used MM
for several years without any problems other than the occassional freezeup.
Several weeks I installed itunes, did that do something. It is the only
thing that is different.
