I like to use WMM and i have maked many amvs and the problem now is that it just shuts down. All i see is the window open and it's blank. How can i fix this?

Oh and my computer has 1 gb of ram, 3.0 P4, and 75 gb out of 190 left in it.
Could any of these be the problem

What codec are the clips you're using encoded in?

I personally find this best to work with.

When EDITING your videos, turn OFF all codecs EXCEPT the Xvid codec.

When SAVING your MOVIE file, turn OFF all codecs EXCEPT the DivX codec.

For some reason, ffdshow (never use it no matter what) crashes your WMM often. The Xvid codec produces minimal lag when editing and the DivX codec produces the best results when saving. And for your sake please set auto-recovery on every 3 minutes. This is coming from someone who edits on 3 GB RAM computers using WMM. (Yes I know it's a waste not learning better editing programs; I'm getting there.)

Oh and one more thing. Any kind of splitters, media splitters, audio splitters, image splitters, wood splitters, baby Jesus splitters, are BAD.

No. You should not be editing with anything but a lossless codec, which XviD and DivX are NOT.

There isn't any other codec available in WMM.

I should clarify, if there are, a file that's more than 1 GB would immediately crash WMM within 3 frames.

Don't make me beat you with a large wet tuna.

Basically that's it. You have to import your videos already compressed in a lossy codec or else the file size will be too big for WMM to handle. Unless you have a super computer, I haven't been able to work WMM with a lossless codec.
