Hi.

I'm currently using Windows Movie Maker version 6 on Windows 7. I have a video that is eight minutes long with file types I have used for the last several weeks without problems, and all of a sudden I'm having trouble rendering.

The video has avi and wmv video. wav audio. And one jpg image.

When I try to render it the percentage will stop at a random points (some times 44%, other times 60%, 11%, 21% and the estimated time will just keep going up and up with no end in sight. I've seen other similar topics but none of them seemed to be specific to my issues. Again, I've used these file types before and never had any issues until now. I have made no changes to my computer. I've taken individual clips from my video to see if they would render and they do just fine. The playback in the program is fine. Albeit with some lag, but that happened on several videos prior that rendered without issue. And even though the saved videos are unfinished, they also play just fine when I open them. I have no idea what the hell is going on. Please help. Even if I switch to another editing software I'd have to reedit this entirely from scratch while learning a new program and that is something I am just not ready to do.

Please and thank you.
