my movie is taking forever to save!

[rileycat]

i'm kinda new at making vids and kinda need some help. i've just completed a
vid on WMP on Windows XP (not vista) with some tv show clips and a song that
lasts 2 min and 46 sec, and i'm trying to save it to MY Computer so that I
can upload it to Youtube. I have uploaded vids twice before, the first one
turned out grainy but still showed up, and the second that was longer than
this one showed up no problem on the site. but with this vid i'm having a new
problem. when i try to save it under my documents/computer the time it should
take to upload keeps on increasing but no progress is made and i have
repeatedly had to cancel saving the vid. if anyone can help me with this i
would really apreciate it!
