Every Time I try to Save my movie windows Media Player says " Windows Movie
Maker Cannot Save the Movie to the Specified Location. Verify that the
Original Source files used in your video are still availible, that the saving
location is still availible, and that there is enough free Space on the hard
disk availible, then try again.

I've checked Each one of these Hard Disk had 7GB's left, I've tried several
different locations, and I've even rebuilt the Video from scratch (new
Project) to make sure all the source files are still there. Someone Please
help me :(

7gb may not be enough. It would suffice only for a 33 minute movie.... and
remember that you need another 6gb for the temporary file.

Forgot... you need the temporary file hard drive space to be equal to or
greater than the length of the move. DV-AVI is 12gb per hour. So 6gb for a
temporary file is going to be enough (just about) for a 30 minute movie.

7gb free is a really low amount. Never run a hard drive to less than 15%
free space available.

I do think it's time you got a secondary hard drive.

Along with what Cari's said, it could be the type of source files you are
using, as this error can come up when using Mpegs/mp3's etc.

You really do need more hdd space though if you intend on doing video work.
