I've been all over that PapaJohn site and tried everything there but my
Moviemaker 2.1 just completely hangs whenever I try to save a movie! I'm
giving up. I'll probably have to go shoot the video again since the clips
are now in my computer rather than in the camera! Moviemaker just seems to
have gobbled everything up put won't output it! I have used the program
countless times in the past with no problem. Haven't done anything different
this time. Have even eliminated any fancy transitions, etc. STILL LOCKS UP.
I have to go into the Task Manager and 'end process' to even get out of
Moviemaker!
