SAving project in movie maker to edit later

[Guest]

I just learned MM2 and have a DVD burner to create DVD. My friend does not
have DVD burner and wants to create/complete movie at her house and bring it
to me to me to burn on my DVD burner. She tried saving to CD but I can only
"play" it on my computer, not call it up as a project, edit and save as DVD.
We tried many different ways to accomplish this ... no luck. Any help would
be appreciated.

Hi George, I also made a movie with many different pics. and music. I used my
computer and a friends laptop as I put it togeather.
NOW that its finished, I also cannot save it to my computer. It goes through
the motions but each time we are "saving" it, I get an error message saying
its either too big a file to be saved (not true, I have tons of space left on
computer)
or it says; a file is "missing" or has been changed since making it (untrue)
so it cannot save to a file.
IF it could be saved to a file, then I could drag it into one of my DVD
burners and make a DVD, I also think that is your problem.
Have you "Saved it to computer" as a finished file before trying to burn it
to dvd yet??
Hope you get an answer, I will keep looking around myself, Scott

Thanks for the response. I have no problem saving my own movies I created.
Also I have no problem burning them to DVD. The problem is a friend wants to
create a movie on her computer and then bring the whole movie over to my
computer so I can burn it for her. I have Sonic DVD and also Nero. She can
burn her movie to a CD - and I can put the CD in my computer and see her
movie...but, I cannot get it to burn to a DVD so she can see it on the TV. I
feel that if I could call up her project into my storybook with her audio
into a storybook then I could burn it to DVD as if I just created it from
scratch. But, I can't seem to figure this out.
Thanks for any help.

George, can she just 'save' the rendered movie to CD as a file and not burn
it as a movie cd? If she just saves it as a file (like you would save a
picture) then you should be able to 'copy' the movie to a file on your
computer. She won't be able to render the movie in DV-AVI (best quality)
because the file will likely be way too large for cd, but she can likely save
it in 'high quality ntsc' which will give you a decent dvd burn quality.

There is another way if you are adventurous. There is a program called
'SendLink' which costs $25 or so.....if she would get that program, she would
be able to send you a 'link' to the movie on her computer within an email,
and you could download it to your computer. If you have broadband she could
save it in DV-AVI since you could download it within a reasonable time. In
Sendlink, you drag the file into the Sendlink window, and then drag it from
that window into your email. It will show as a link in the email...she then
sends it to you, and you download it directly off of her computer. Good
luck!

Here is a link to where SendLink can be found. She can download it on her
computer (download) by giving her email address...and then if she wants to
buy it click on 'register' and follow the instructions. If you click on
'register' you can see it is $25.

After thinking about this again I think there is an even better solution.
Have your friend go to Walmart and get a 'Jump Drive'.....one big enough to
hold the size of your friends movie on it. The drive plugs into a USB port,
and you 'save' the movie file to it....pull it out....put it in your USB
port, and 'save' it into a folder on your computer.
For sure this is the easiest way. Once you have it in your machine you can
use your software to burn the dvd. Read this message first! ha ha ha ha
