I have this promblem with one of my projet on Windows Movies Maker. After I
am finished with my editing I go to publish my movie. It starts going through
the process but on the Publishing progress window, it stops at 98% and just
stais there and it never finishes the publishing. Has anyone ever had this
problem? Why does it do it? and how can i fix it?

A first place to start is to see if you have incompatible source (video
and/or audio) files. Try this URL (which applies to both XP and Vista):

Another trick that sometimes works is to uncheck the boxes in Movie Maker|
Tools| Options| Compatibility.

Is Vista becoming Frankenstein's operating system? Problems with publishing
from WMM seem to be becoming more and more frequent and the solutions ever
more complex - even those that don't work! Often the quick-fix solution is
to download some free snake-oil or take out a mortgage to buy the latest
state-of-the-art-all-singing-all-dancing conversion/editing software that is
supposed to shove WMM into the shadows, but, instead, causes Vista to crash
inexplicably. And when things are still less than perfect, up goes the cry,
"Microsoft doesn't give a fig about its customers".

Shouldn't we, the customers, be putting our heads together to come up with
some creditable standardisation proposals that "the industry" can consider
in terms of feasibility and cost - the potential is there for inestimable
benefit. There is a very strong precedent for this, namely the ASCII,
without which you wouldn't be reading this.

I fear that, if we bury our heads in the sand, traffic along the
"information super highway" may one day be diverted to accommodate the
construction of Babel Tower 2.

I've given this some thought. I hope you will too.

I have no problems with MM or DVDM or any of its options.

Vista has been running like a champ.

Until February this year I was still using the Sinclair Spectum (Timex) I
bought in 1985 - simple is reliable. Oscar has taken the words right out of
my mouth.

ADDENDUM

i) I wish to point out that my display name should read "Barf" and my
display address . I have been
through the "Sign Up" process several times trying to correct this. Each
time my phoney details are as they should be, but whenever I post, my
genuine credentials are erroneously displayed. MS support is on the case.

ii) Details of my allegory to the Babel Tower can be found in the Bible
(mine is King James version) - Genesis chapter 11, verses 1 to 9. I was
alluding to the multiplicity of codec's and container formats.

iii) I used the term, "snake oil", and pointed out that there is some
unnecessarily expensive software on the market to illustrate that price is
not a reliable pointer to the efficacy of software or the competence of its
engineers. I cannot better the advice and opinions already given by MVP's
in this and other newsgroups.
