OK, to set the stage.
I recorded a video (which plays fine) with my Haupaugge WinTVHVR850.
I then copied the resulting video file to my desktop to have a version to work on and still have the original in case I messed up the editing.
I then used WLMM to edit out the commercials. I saved it as a project file at that point.
So far everything has worked as expected.
I then decided to turn it into a .wmv file so I could ultimately burn it to a DVD. No problem, clicked the standard definition option under the pull down for file options and let it go.
3 hours ago.
So far not even the slightest sliver of 'done' on the status bar. Task manager shows -00- CPU being used for Movie Maker. I even killed the process the first timne after an hour and no result, restarted and checked to be sure the vidoe was OK and that it would play in the preview pane of WLMM. It does, as edited.
Have I erred somewhere here ? What's going on ?
Anyone ?
