Windows Movie Maker: can't save movie (already did papajohn suggestion)

Sponsored Links

Hi, i'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, and I can't save a movie
with Movie Maker for the usual error that papajohn described
accurately in his site:
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Issues-CantSaveMovie.html

My dll version is 11.0.6000.6324, and i've already tryed to re-register it:
regsvr32 "%windir%\system32\qasf.dll"

Saving a movie in DV-AVI file format is fine, and is also fine creating
a wmv with Photo Story 3.

What else I can try to resolve this problem?
thanks.

Ciao Federico

You say
"I can't save a movie with Movie Maker"

Then you say
"Saving a movie in DV-AVI file format is fine"

Can you expand on what the actual problem is?
Can't you save to a wmv file format?
If so which one?

Can't save to a cd or a dvd?

Is that any location or any of the many wmv formats.
Is there a reason you want wmv over the better quality dv-avi?
If you save to dv-avi and then import this file into MM, can you then save
it as a wmv?
Can you import the windows supplied wmv on to your timneline and save that
asa wmv with a different name?
What file types are you using?

It is any location AND any wmv formats (tryed also to publish to email)
I need to use wmv over dv-avi because of hard disk space.

I made the tests you suggested:
1) saving to dv-avi, reimport and save in wmv: I get the error
2) import/export the windows sample wmv movie: I get the error


It doesn't matter the type of the file I import: mpeg or avi, I get that
error

thanks for the help!!

Is this a shop bought pc with Vista pre-installed or an upgrade that you
have installed?
What other software - video/audio related - do you have installed.

The only other thing I can think of is someting is conflicting with MM, so
if a shop bought pc a piece of software you have installed or if an upgrade
it could be anything from non-compatible hardware to any of the
pre-installed software.
