Hi Kathy,

What format of movie do you have, that you want to save to DVD? Check the
help section in your DVD creation software and see if that supports your
file format type as input. You might need to import the file into your
software instead of opening it directly in the software.
As far as VCDs and SVCDs go - your DVD player needs to support those formats
too.

Thanks,
Latha
