This is weird

You may have read in another thread which mentioned that Windows Movie Maker kept giving me errors while trying to make a movie which consisted of 9.5 MB.

Well, I just thought I would reduce the size of the movie to 7.5 MB.

Guess what, Windows Movie Maker made the movie, although I make a mistake in the ending credit because I could not remember whether I had entered AN45 or not. So It says to tune in to see what happens when U-245 enters AN45. That is actually a mistake, because U-245 did enter AN45 and encountered aircraft and downed them all.

What confuses me, is why would Windows Movie Maker compile a movie 7.5 MB but gave me errors when I tried to compile a 9.5 MB movie.

I never had problems with Windows Movie Maker until after April 6 of this year.

Anyone have an explanation?

This is just a guess but, did you have enough free memory to compile the 9.5MB movie? I have heard in the past that compiling a movie takes up alot of room.

Yes, HW3, I know it takes a lot of memory and I have enough.

I have made many movies prior to Apr 6 this year, as you would see if you looked at my movie page. Never had any problems prior to that date.

Thanks for responding anyway, Sure appreciate any comments.

Well at least I can make movies up to 7.5MB long without a problem.
