That is an unfortunate side effect of saving images with transitions as
DV-AVI.
I have a couple different suggestions that combat this problem.
1) I am surprised none of us had mentioned this already to be honest. When
working with only still images and audio I recommend using Microsoft Photo
Story 3 instead of Movie Maker. PS3 was designed for working with stills
while Movie Maker was designed for working with video. With PS3 the result
will be a high quality WMV video that can be imported into Movie Maker for
additional work if you wanted, such as adding title & credit overlays, and
then that could be saved as DV-AVI without audio problems.
2) Since the project is already completed in Movie Maker a workaround for
the audio problem is the following:
Save the project as a High Quality NTSC/PAL video. This video "shouldn't"
have the audio glitches.
Then open the project again and mute all the audio. Save this without audio
as a DV-AVI.
Import both the DV-AVI and the WMV into Movie Maker.
Drag the AVI to the video portion of the timeline.
Drag the WMV to the audio portion of the timeline.
Save the final works as a DV-AVI that shouldn't have any audio glitches.
This is a lot of extra steps but the final result is worth it and I have
done this exact thing many times.

I am closer -
After setting Hardware Accelleration to ZERO and Removing Codec Filters,
it
saved 100%....BUT...the Audio Skips...
Any suggestions?

No new suggestions except to ask if you tried saving in different
formats.
High Quality NTSC vs DV-AVI or even one of the local playback options.
The local playback is lower quality but this will help determine if the
problem is resource related or not.
Also, and especially if a lower quality setting worked, try splitting the
projewct into segments and saving it.
I personally still think it is probably the JPG's but since you don't we
will try other options.

OK....Reset!
Here is what I have done to date (and still no luck!)
I have reloaded WinXP w/SP2.
I have reinstalled my Office 2003.
I have re-created a NEW movie using most of the JPG files from the
original
(I am certain there are no isssues with the JPG files being used.
There
are
310 JPG Files in the movie. They range in size from 400k to 1MB (most
in
the
600kb - 700kb range). The are simple JPG files from a 3 megapixel
digital
camera. The new movie I created does NOT contain Audio (yet!) and it
is
about 35 minutes when viewing it in Movie Maker - By the way, viewing
in
Movie Maker there are NO issues. When I save it as a Movie, it
completes
the
processes, but when viewing it in Media Player or any other player, it
stops
playing after about 28 minutes. It continues to seem like it is
playing,
but
does not show any new JPG files. This is very similar to what happened
before all my testing. I have ALSO changed the Hardware Accelleration
level
to ZERO and UNCHECKED all the Codec Filters in Movie Maker.
Any new suggestions?!

This is the first post I have ever done, let's see if it helps me with
my
question!
I have repeatedly tried to save a movie that has about 300 JPG files
and
6
or 7 Audio Songs.
All together, the Movie Maker File is about 35 minutes in lenght.
Each
JPG
presents for 8 seconds and there is a transition for each JPG.
I have tried many times to simply SAVE the Movie to my computer. The
process seems like it is completing, but when I view the file that is
created
(which is about 120MB saved using the default "best when played back
on
my
computer" setting), using Media Player, the file plays ALL of the
AUDIO,
but
stops changing slides about 20 minutes into the 35 minute movie. When
it
stops, the last picture seen simply goes away and I view a black
screen
while
listening to the music!
I thought this may have been caused by a bad JPG. Nope....but I can't
figure it out yet....!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
