finished project pauses (sticks) in middle

[Lisa]

The last 2 movies I've made with MM containted 100 or so photos and were set
to music. One used 4 songs and the other five. Both finished products stick
or pause once in the middle for a few seconds then resume. This is the only
problem. Is it a memory problem with computer? Nothing else is running in
background and I have 960MB RAM. It's a 250GB hard drive and most all of that
is available. Suggestions?
Small movies using 1 or 2 songs don't have this problem.

=============================
Are we discussing a finished .wmv or .avi
movie file or just a .mswmm project file?

It's possible that some of your source files
are not fully compatible with Movie maker.

File type compatibility with Movie Maker

If the images were converted to .bmp and
the sound files to .wma before importing...
the issue might go away.

And...if you are working only with still shots
and music files...I would suggest that you
try PhotoStory 3.
