Using the Movie Maker of Windows Essentials 2012 on Windows 7 machine, I captured video from DV tape and I was planning to save a MPEG-4 file with same resolution and framerate using 6 Mbps bitrate. My DV videos are in PAL format, so I wanted to have then in 720x576 resolution and 25 frames per second.

When I start export, Movie Maker crashes.

I think this problem is linked to the resolution I'm choosing. When I changed the resolution to 720x540 it worked. But I would like to get same resolution as the raw material on tape. Any hint what's the problem?
