Elaine. If the DVD-RW media you have are in DVD format (eg. VOB files),
Movie Maker will not import that type of file. If you are going to do a lot
of this sort of thing, you would be better off, as stated in a previous
post, to acquire a DVD Ripping program. There is a lot of this type of
software to be found on the internet. You probably would like to try an "all
in one" for starters. Most people, like myself, who do a lot of this sort of
thing have individual programs based on what our need is.

Most, not all, of the really good programs may cost a little bit. They are
usually worth it.
