Why does movie maker get to 43% and then stop working. I saved 5 movies just prior to this successfully and now it wont do anymore. I tried some of the fixes posted here but failed. I'm running version 2012 build 16.4.3528.0331. The movies all average about 7 minutes each. The files I'm using are .jpg mp3 mp4 and effects from movie maker. Nothing out of the ordinary. I did notice in the control panel/programs and features/uninstall that there is a Windows essentials media codec pack 3.6 that was installed in 12/6/2011 but I ran the repair option on the version 'm running right now (version 2012 build 16.4.3528.0331) and it says repair was successful. Please help me.

My save to movie file is too big for the DVD I have.  The file is 4.9 g and my DVD has 4.4 space available.  How do I downsize the fit one DVD?  When I hit Save Movie and then on my computer, I did not get any resolution options.

Hi I'm running win 8.1 and found that movie maker should be able to open media center recorded tv files without my having recourse to third party software. not here I can't. my pc has an Nvidia GTS 88000 card installed with all the latest updates, movie maker opens all the other files ok. I thought Microsoft would at least write a program that would open its own propriety files as suggested in the supported file types dialogue, help please, I've been through reinstall, compatability and all the other suggestions to no avail.

How can I import video clips into Movie maker that are .VOB files? How do I change them? Do I need an upgrade to the software?

I have been using movie maker for quite a while and it never did this. My video which .mp4 is really laggy and choppy and even when I convert it to .wmv it doesnt work and when I save for HD display, it is still just as choppy. My computer is up to date and has nothing that can make this happen. I made sure of this before I asked this because I know somebody would just reply with my computer being outdated. I used the FixIt program, found no issues. I did a virus scan, no issues. My computer is up to date and has 8gb of RAM and a ton of free space on the hard drive. My graphics card can run BioShock Infinite and Battlefield 4 for christ sake. My video is from an HD PVR and is saved on my disk drive on my computer. I have none of the problems where you can fix it with hardware replacement or fixit or freemake video converter. I have ytried every single one and the video is still choppy all around. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS ASAP!!!!! PLEASE DONT TELL ME ITS MY COMPUTER! AS YOU CAN SEE IT REALLY IS NOT!!!! I CONFIRMED THIS!!!!!!

PS: I have just tested out footage of the same game from the same hd pvr in movie maker and its flawless. Not choppy whatsoever. It is just this video. Any tips on why this might be? The actual video is fine it is just when it is paired with movie maker. If not, any other FREE video editors that is as easy to use as movie maker I can use for it?
