Re: newbie needs help. movie wont play in dvd



How did you copy the video onto the DVD?
You can't simply copy the video file to a DVD as data. Your DVD Player will
not recognize the AVI or WMV file.
If your version of Movie Maker does not give you the "Save to DVD" option,
which I generally don't recommend using anyway, then you need to use a DVD
Authoring program to create a "proper" DVD such as Ulead Movie Factory,
Sonic MyDVD, Nero Vision Express etc... see my website in the "DVD Creation"
section for more detail.
