I have been trying for weeks and keep coming up with a BLURRY DVD. When I
run the movie as a project - it looks GREAT. I want to loop it and also
would LOVE to put it on our big screen tv. When I save the project as a
movie - the only way that movie MAKER doesnt FREEZE - is wheN I save it as an
email attachment and they save save on my computer from that wizard. they I
burn it using many different extensions bought aconverter software- ect. but
sill all ways are blurry.

When I run the wizard to go to a DVD or to directly save on my computer the
software FREEZES up - It is 22 minutes with all still photos and a transition
between each one.

Please help - graduation in 2 days!!!

thanks,
barb

The reason it is blurry is that the save for email compresses the hell out
of the movie to make it small enough for emailing.

You need to save as dv.avi to retain quality.

If it won't save as this, then you may have compatibility issues with your
files

22 mins of still photos must be an awful lot of photos, and MM doesn't like
jpegs, so this could be the cause of it.

Do you have any music? Is it mp3?

If you do, I'd first change any mp3 to wav
http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/Convert_mp3_To_WAV.html
and try again.

If that doesn't work, then split the project up into say 5 minute slots and
try saving again.

wma is fine. If it doesn't save as a whole project now, split it up into
small projects and try again.
