9.50 MB is all that's left on the hard drive? (I'm really hoping you meant 9.50 GB -- gigabyte instead of megabyte

)

WMM requires at least several gigabytes to render a vid. It's not so much a matter of how big the video is, it's the process that WMM goes through to render. It "spreads out" all of the information, the effects, the clips, the transitions, the titles and everything and analyzes it bit by bit. Then it checks to make sure all of the files are in the proper place. Then it begins to combine them into one WMV file and then finishes it off. (That's a very general, fuzzy version of what WMM does when it renders, sorry.

I read an article about it once but I can't find it to refresh my memory on the technical details... )

The point being, it's probably not going to let you render it as it is because it doesn't have enough physical space on the hard drive to put all of the information.

However, you still could try rendering it in chunks as large as it will let you (remove the music again and leave as many clips and effects as it will permit), then try combining those again with your music. Once the effects and transitions have been rendered, WMM doesn't have to "think" so hard about them. They're already made into the new clips, so that might ease its memory requirements.

Good luck with it! I've got my fingers crossed for you

Thanks so much.
I just tried all that but i think i used WAY to many effects, like too many lol. Whenever i replay it and it does all these effects it's just blank.
Oh well, Thank you so much for your help!
I'll remember that for next time when Windows Movie Maker does that again. I'll try to take out as many effects as i can without it being boring lol and see if it works.

Okay, I got a question too.

I was finally ready with a video where I spent a lot of time in, so I try to save it, but it stays 11% and the minutes always go higher and higher.
I tried to save it on a CD, send it to the Web, closing WMM and re-starting again... It all didn't work

I saw someone else on the WMM forum having the same problem, but I don't speak English in real life and I didn't understood it that much. I don't even know if it even worked with that person.

My brother (on the other computer) had once the same problem, but he just let it go and made an other one. That other one had no problems with saving, only that one video had problems...

What do I need to do?
