Windows Movie Maker Help?

Question by Frozhou: Windows Movie Maker Help?
Hey so I’m making a retirement video for one of my teachers this year and as I finished everything, I saved and tried to publish it on Windows Movie Maker.. However, I got a message that popped up and said:
Windows Movie Maker cannot publish the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again.
I know for a fact that I have enough free space and I renamed and replaced the clips that I moved during the video making process. It’s 18 minutes and 40 seconds and I will die if I have to start over. Help? Thanks.
I also want the video to be in HD (1080p) so I don’t want to lower the quality. (I used a Nikon D90 if that is helpful) I also don’t want to take out any affects nor clips.

Eighteen minutes is a very long video and rendering it is going to use a lot of computer resources. Try publishing it directly to a DVD in DV-AVI (NTSC) format.
