Hi, I have Vista Home Premium which came with Windows Movie Maker version
6.0.6000.16386. I put together a movie and everytime I try to publish it the
countdown gets to 30 or so seconds and then starts going back up & it never
finishes. So, it never publishes the movie. Any ideas?

All of my video files are .mpg, the pictures are jpeg, and the audio files
are .wma
I've tried saving (or publishing) to my computer, to a recordable CD, to a
DVD, everything! Right now the dvd burning is stuck at 70.4% and won't move.
I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days trying to figure this out. Is it
my version of WMM Version 6.6.6000.16386?
should I scrap the whole thing and download & try to use version 2.6?
I know there has to be a logical answer...but I can't find one!!

FYI
Windows Vista Home Premium
Microsoft Windows Verson 6.0 (build 6001: Service Pack 1)
Windows Movie Maker Version 6.0.6000.16386
Physical memory available to Windows 2,086,588 KB
Movie File: MSWMM File
Size: 673 KB
Size on disk: 676 KB

Any other ideas???
Thanks in advance for your help!

The articles I posted for you clearly state
that .mpgs and .jpgs can be troublesome.
