Save as a movie in WMM takes incredibly long
At the gotomeeting.com website I organise webinars from time to time. I can record these as wmv-files. However these files are hard to import. Premiere Elements 7 crashed while loading it (and keeps on doing so even after a rigourous uninstall and reinstall, I have simply lost this program). I was unable to convert it with Super and only Windows Media Encoder could handle it. From 120 mb it then increased to 700 mb. I then could edit the file in Windows Moviemaker and ended up with a video during 1 hour. It basically consists of Powerpoint slides and audio. However: saving this as a movie (I intend to upload to Slideshare) takes incredibly long, regardless of what format I choose. It currently stands at 3400 minutes and is still counting. Does anyone have an explanation or a suggestion to prevent this? I do not intend to wait three days for this to finish.

'Start with the original file'...what makes you think I do not? But the original file refuses to be loaded in WMM so I convert it (with media encoder).
'Stop saving the file'.... after I edited the project file I am supposed to save it as a movie. That is indeed the very last thing to do (what makes you think I do otherwise?). And that is my problem: it takes an incredible amount of time.

I solved the problem myself.
The very last step is to export the final movie. Depending on your specs, compression methods, and the speed of your computer, it could take 1/2 hour for a 2-3 minute spot.
