Problems saving a project to Movie

[ImjinMan]

Hi

I am running Movie Maker 5.1 on Windows XP. I have created a MSWMM project,
but when I try to "save as movie", many many many many "FSA" icons appear in
the notifications bar, and the estimated time to completion goes from 2000
minutes and starts climbing to 5000+ mins effectively preventing me from
saving the file as a WMV file.

when clicking on the FSA icon it shows a window from FFDShow, and
information about CODECs

Many thanks and seasons greetings

====================================
I suspect the cause of this issue is incompatible
source files.

Many formats are reportedly compatible with
Movie Maker but the most reliable choices are:

Photos - bmp
Video - wmv or dv-avi
Music - wma, wav, wmv

Maybe the following article will help:
