I wouldn't use WAV just for that reason but I would convert to WMA.
Also sometimes JPG is fine sometimes it isn't so I have converted all of
mine to BMP.
Your right you don't have the option when you choose Save to DVD but I never
recommend that people do that anyway, it causes too many silver coasters,
but instead recommend saving to the computer and then importing into your
DVD Authoring program (in your case Sonic MyDVD).
You can save as Pocket PC but not as DV-AVI which still could be because of
the MP3's or JPG's but could also be a complexity issue especially if you
have transitions between all of those 400 pictures!
For this see the How-To Split up a project due to complexity issues how-to
on my website. (Video Editing -> Movie Maker) for specific instructions. The
requirement of memory to run MM is meaningless since it makes a difference
how complex the project is. Also I would like to add that if you are only
working with still images and music then Photo Story 3 is a much better
suited program to use. It has more transitions and far better control over
the timing. You can download PS3 here:
