Hello,

I am making a montage on Movie Maker and I want to save it with excellent quality. So, I click on "Save movie" then "For high definition display." The loading starts and after about 3, 4%, the loading stops and an error message appears:
"There is not enough available memory to save this file. Try using a lower resolution."
There you go, I hope you can help me because this problem really bothers me and I don’t know what to do anymore.

Thank you in advance.

    Hello, Windows Movie Maker is no longer produced by Microsoft. Please let us know if you are using Windows 10
    and if possible, the specifications of your PC
    It is possible that your machine may not be "powerful" enough to create an HD file
    So choose: "for playback on computer" the quality will remain good but for display on a small screen

    "The fools change their minds, not the wise"
    Please remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that is the case.

      Hello, thanks for replying!
      I am on Windows 7. My PC is also quite slow, but I’m not sure that’s very interesting.
      I wanted to record in HD to play my movie on TV, so if I get a more powerful computer, do you think that could work? A gaming PC, for example.

      Hello, it is quite possible that your computer may not be powerful enough, but try a test with the choice "play on computer" before changing everything; the file can display in full screen on a living room TV.
      For new equipment, it is agreed in the amateur editing community to aim for
      a computer with Windows 10 in 64 bits, a quad-core processor at 3GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a large 7200 RPM hard drive. If you don't want to play 3D games, the integrated graphics card in the processor is sufficient. However, you will no longer have WMM and will need to adapt to the new Windows software, the "Photos" suite.
      A bit of technique: if you filmed with a good camcorder capable of recording in 1920x1080 with a good bitrate (data rate between 17000 and 30000 kb/s), you will have an HD file in MPEG4 (mp4) of 1GB for every 5 minutes.
