Saving Movie Maker movie on XP problems

[SKH]

I have created a 41 minute movie of still images with transitions, occasional
text overlays and audio. When I attempt to save the movie for replay on my
computer or to CD, the save process seems to work only partially, as in the
the resulting video will progress to a point, then stop, while the audio
continues. I have tried using both mp3 and wma audio files, and neither
seems to make a difference (actually, wma seems to yield slightly worse
results). Working in Movie Maker seems to be without problem, it is only
the save process which is not yielding results. Any suggestions?

===================================
You may have an issue with system resources
because of the complexity of the project and
also you may have an issue with incompatible
source files. Sometimes it's better to create
smaller projects.

Yes, I saw the links to the papajohn pages on a different post after posting
here. Breaking the project up into smaller projects did the trick just fine.
Thanks for posting the links, one of which goes to the pages which provided
the solution.
