Thank you so much!!! But for some reason, I can't download it....
What will happen if I don't download the encoder??

I have another question....(I'm sorry if this is annoying you...^^;)

I brought Final Fantasy Advent Children. Then I used DVD shrink to get the files onto my computer. They seem to be in BMP format...what do I do? I want to make a music video out of FFAC...

Shiro Clan clan...what do you mean by "Exporting" the files??? I don't see that...do you mean saving it as a movie file???

Yes, I mean saving as movie file. This is exporting.

You know how you have a bunch of options when you save as movie file, like "Video for Local Playback"? If you download Windows Media Encoder, you can use its Profile Editor to create a new option. I use it because it allows me to save a movie file with almost perfect quality. But you don't need the encoder. Just save as "Video for Local Playback (2.1MBPS)" instead.

I've never used DVD Shrink, though, so I can't help you out there.

I tried saving it to the format you usually save it to, and now it stopped saving at 5% and the minutes keep on going up!!! Why does it do that?? TT_TT

Your ram is probably too low.

All I can suggest is this:

http://www.download.com/3000-2086-10070530.html


Download it. Then close out of everything, except WMM, and close your internet connection if you can. With that open, try and save it again. A personal tip, use the settings "high quality video (large)" NOT the "to my computer" it's defaulted on.

If that doesn't work...then you'll have to cut it up piece by piece...that's not fun. I've had to do it more times than I liked...

If my method of splitting doesn't work, do it again.

And if that doesn't work, again.

You may have to split into 16 pieces for all I know. It depends on your system.

It's not working!!! It can't even save a MB!!!!
Do filters play a part in this?? When I turned off some filters, then it wouldn't save at all, but when I turned some on it saved somewhat, but then just stopped...

What do you mean by "filters"? Do you mean effects?

Could you list your system specs, please? Like...

Operating System
HD Space Free
Main Processor
RAM
Graphics Card, MB

Like those. I find it odd that it would fail so quickly. o.o;;

Uh....
Well...you know the place in Movie Maker: You click on Tools, then go down to options, then to Compatibility. Those things...are they called filters? Codecs? T_T
I'm not sure where to find that stuff...whenever I want to save my video, it says that I have like...30 GB or something like that...

I've not messed with the compatibility settings in WMM.

However, I do have merely a clean install of codecs. My only ones are:

CCCP
XviD
Huffyuv

With only these running, it seems to work fine until I hit the memory buffer limit. Damn this integrated video card!

That's why I want to know your computer's specifications. I want to know how much power you're playing with, to see if there's a hardware reason for all these problems you're having.
