Movie Maker only has very basic burning capabilities for DVD and it only has
that if you have a MCE machine that had SP2 preloaded on it. Otherwise you
have no ability to burn to DVD with Movie Maker. If you do have a new MCE
machine you have the option of selecting "Burn to DVD" but there is no
option for creating menus at all and all it really does is use Sonic's MyDVD
to burn your video to a DVD as a "proper" DVD. It will simply play when
inserted into a DVD player. If you want to create menus and backgrounds
etc... you need a DVD Authoring program. There is a list of the most popular
ones on my website in the "DVD Creation" section along with links to
download full or trial versions.
