windows movie maker

[codswallop]

Does anyone know of a way to burn a file to DVD or VCD that's made on windows movie maker using another prog.such as Nero? Thanks

Go to Finish Movie -> save to my computer and save it as an AVI file.

Open up Nero and start a new video project (depends on what version you have)

Import your AVI file and burn.

Thanks OldProgie for the simple instructions.Everything seemed to go ok until I wanted to play back what I had burned.We have 3 DVD players around the house(big head)It wouldn't play on 2 and the third one only 25seconds played back.Any ideas please?Is there any maintenance to be done to the burner or the DVD player that might cure this?I'm using DVD+R discs.Thanks again!!!

Windows movia maker at present is not suitable for making dvds - look for another program like ulead video studio

hi i had the same problem . with movie maker until i bought a external burner ( philips rw DVD+RW ) �60 this came with nero but i found out that that movie maker seams to recognise this hard wear and burning has never been so easy . Im Running Xp. Ps the dvd works on all 4 of my dvd players

Hi dustypuss,thanks for your reply,but the problem occurs when I transfer my movie maker file to an AVI file,at the moment that's the only way I know how to burn to DVD.
