Re: Saved MM movie plays up to a point

I really appreciate you taking the time in helping me out - Thanks!

As I mentioned above I have 1 GB of mem. I also have a 140 GB hard drive.
The computer - a Pentium 4 - is, maybe, a month old. The version of MM is
2.1.4026.0 (I suspect I do not need to update MM) When I "save to the
computer" the process takes nearly 45 minutes! I also have, maybe, 400
images in this movie. I hope I'm not over-taxing the app.

Is there a diagnostic you can recommend that I run? I'm providing as much
info I can think of.

Thanks for your help.
