Hoping someone can shed some light here....

I am creating a 'movie' using still photos with background music and need
to
burn to DVD. I've read much of what's out here for tips, but am still
having
problems getting the DVD to play.

I am using Win XP, MM2, Sonic My DVD

Here are my steps:
1. My Movie Maker 2 file (.mswmm) is complete, I choose 'Save to My
Computer' in the Task Pane.
2. I choose DV-AVI (NTSC) as the movie setting. Click Ok, the computer
does its thing.
3. Go to Sonic MyDVD, click get movies. Import the .avi file just
created
by Movie Maker.
4. When I preview the movie in Sonic, it's fine. Then I click burn, it
goes through the encoding process and after about 15 minutes it spits the
DVD
out and says 'complete.'

However, when I place this DVD in my DVD player (hooked to my TV), it just
shows a disk with a question mark next to it. I also tried it in a DVD
player at work and it says 'bad disk."

Thinking the actual disk was bad, I tried again, but it still didn't work.
I have also tried burning both DVD-R and DVD+R and both have the same
results. I'm using Maxell brand.

Can anybody please help? As far as I can tell, I'm following the steps
properly, but it just doesn't work! This is for an anniversary party this
weekend and I'm stuck!

Thank you!
