Save to file problem with MM2 - can not build a WMV file

[ALi]

Hallo,
I have enough free disk space, VM etc, but I can't save
my video clips into a film file, except DV-AVI (PAL)
type. I get an error message about ".. Not enough disk
space or the original file was not found." This error
message is not correct. If I can save an AVI file I need
much more disk space as I will save in a WMV file. The
problem: MM2 can not build WMV files, only AVI files.

Do you have any idea?

I got the same message once. For me, the problem was a corrupt source video
file. When MM2 reached the corrupt portion of the file, it choked and gave
me that message. I trimmed a few seconds off of the tail end of the video
(the corrupt portion), and it saved just fine.

Hope this helps you,

Ken

Hi there, You are incorrect in your belief that MM2 cannot save to WMV, it
is in fact the in-house format for all of Microsoft's Video, WMA for audio.

The term PAL or NTSC is only of relevance when saving a video that has to
be played on a DVD player for viewing on a standard TV. It has no relevance
of any sort when the file is to be played on a computer...in fact that's not
true, it can be a real pain on a slow computer....lookup De-Interlacing

Anyway to save to your computer, simply pick any format other than DV-AVI
and you will get a WMV format file...the quality of that file will be
dictated by the many options you have prior to the save process.

Being able to save to DV-AVI but not to WMV is a classic symptom of having
an older QASF.DLL file.

Thank you for the good idea. After I installed the WME
the save works fine.

Maybe your qasf.dll was not updated?
