It says saving to REcordable disc Even though I chose save to My C

[Guest]

hello,

This problem started a few days ago
when I try saving the movie it is saying it is saving to a recordable disc
EVEN though I choose save to my computer.
It shows the Destinationas what I have chosse BUT it has
an icon High M.A.T and shows that there are thousands of minutes left.
This has me frustrated.
I rebooted checked settings
Am I missing something?

thank you

I am having exactly the same problem. I have made and saved videos to disk
as AVI successfully in the past week. Today, with no change to the computer
or software that I can discern, WMM won't save to disk. As stated, even when
I choose Save To Computer, it says it's saving to a recordable CD with the
HighMat icon. This happens regardless of the file quality I use to save to
disk. Help would be appreciated!

Let me clarify that - it was a little confusing.

I have saved other projects successfully to wmv in the past week. I tried
to save this one to wmv (many sizes) and avi with no success - the wizard
would stop for a few minutes between file selection and the status indicator
(at which point CPU usage would be a 'chugging away' ~50%), then move to the
status indicator with the HighMat icon and Burning To CD at the top. The
indicator would stay at 0%, and CPU usage would drop to 0-2%.
I tried opening and saving as a movie one of the projects I saved to wmv
successfully last week. Same burning-to-CD-hang problem.
I tried System Restore to a point inbetween the last two successful movie
projects. Same problem with both projects.
I tried System Restore to a point just before I started using WMM. I
imported one of the avis in my collecion, made a movie of one short clip, and
saved it successfully to wmv.
I should note that all of the projects I have done have been with the same
set of files in Collections.

I am now re-importing all of my video back into Collections. Even if this
does work, I would still like to figure out what happened. Importing all of
the video is going to take several hours, and I don't want to have to do that
on a regular basis.

I fixed the issue
It was really simple, and I hadn't even thought about it. WHat was happening
was that the memory of Windows Movie maker was full so instead of Saving to a
FIle it was Automatically trying to save to a Recordable dic.
WHat I did was Clicked on "View" Then Collections
and Deleted everything that was in there ( I already had them all saved from
before. those were just copies od Imported collections that I had worked
with)
after my Collections Folder was Empty I was able to save to files again and
didn't get the REcording to a disc message.
