They can but they are not sending anything other than the finished movie in
either WMV or AVI format.
This video clip can be viewed on any Media Player program and no longer has
anything to do with WMM.

When you save the movie (not the project) to your hard drive you now have a
complete movie clip with the timing and everything incorporated into it. Now
that file is imported into a DVD Authoring program which converts the file
to MPEG2 and creates a VOB file that is recognized by the DVD Player. It
then burns that to a DVD and you can watch it in the DVD Player.

So step by step:
Create your project in Movie Maker.
Save the movie to your hard drive by clicking "Save to my computer" or
typing CTRL+P
Follow the save movie wizard through the steps
Type a name for the video & choose a location [NEXT]
Click the radio button next to "Other Settings"
Since your movie is apparently made up of all still images and audio
I would select "High Quality video (NTSC) from the dropdown menu [NEXT]
Now your movie clip will be created. (This may take a little while)
After rendering you will have a complete movie named whatever you named it
in the location you specified.
Next you open your DVD Authoring program. (There's a list of popular
programs to download on my website)
Import your completed video into the authoring program and create any menus
etc... you want
The program will convert your video into a VOB file which is recognized by
DVD Players and burn it to a DVD.
And your done.
I couldn't give you specific step-by-step instruction as to the DVD program
without knowing which program you intend to use. Once you decide that if you
need further assistance just ask and most of us can help.
Hope this does the trick for you.
