Help saving a movie to my computer

[Shelly]

When I try to save the movie to my computer- it says that it is 100% complete
but when I go to watch it, it only saved about half of the movie. The movie
is about 14 minutes long and has pictures and video. The pictures cut off
about half way thru but the music is completely saved. Also, when saving-
the percentage goes normal till it hits about 50% and then speeds up saves in
about 30 seconds- the first half of the movie takes about 10 minutes. I am
not sure why this is happening. I have tried saving it using different
settings. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Shelly

I would suspect an incompatible picture or video file. Can you identify the
transition where the completed video fails? If so I would look at your
source files to see if it coincides with a transition between two inputs.
Remove the file immediately after the failure and see if that fixes the
issue.

www.papajohn.org has a lot of very useful information on the types of issues
you are having and I would recommend that site highly in an effort to fix
the problem.

yep, sounds like an incompatible file to me, this often happens when using
mp3 music, check out your file formats
