Recently I decided I wanted to start making videos for my art, showing how I drew it, the progression of a piece, add music for the viewers' and my enjoyment, etc., and upload them to youtube. Now, I heard that youtube recommends windows movie maker, since most newer computers come with this program already installed and it is an excellent, easy to use program. My computer is still pretty new and it has the program. Good. Everything is going good and I test out the program, but then comes the error messages.
Whenever I finish recording a video, and the program is in the process of saving it, an error message pops up telling me that WMM (windows movie maker) experienced a problem and needs to shut down. You have no choice but to send an error report, debug it or close it (doing either of these closes the program as does choosing not to send it). The file itself gets recorded and sent to where I placed it, though, which is ok, but the problem is that it cannot be opened through WMM any longer. This is true whether it's video or audio that I'm opening into the program. It gives me the error message and closes down. The only time it doesn't close is for image files, but for audio and video it won't open and audio and video saving or opening closes the program.
I checked the internet a bit last night and found out lots of other people are having the same problem and there are various solutions I see, such as renaming certain files, etc. It's really confusing because for every solution someone offers, someone says it doesn't work, so it's really complicating this for me. I admit to not being computer savvy, either, and not knowing what to do and I'd like to see if someone here can help me before I have a professional fix it, which I'll bet isn't even necessary, and would probably only take a few moments for the cash they'd be making.
I know when someone is trying to take advantage of my ignorance, so I want to avoid that, if possible.
Here's the error signature:
AppName: moviemk.exe AppVer: 2.1.4026.0 ModName: libavcodec.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00091834
Here's the file the error report says it will send:
C:\Docume~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\56bf_appcompat.txt
