Hi, I've been reading so much about burning a video file to dvd and
everything says to save the wmv file to avi and then burn the avi to
dvd. But when I do that it's not clear on any of my televisions and
its also more pixelated and also the image seems abit jumpy. However
if I leave it as a wmv and burn to dvd the output is much better on
TV, text is not as pixelated images are better and no jumpiness.
Still, Im not that happy with the quality. Should I try to save the
Windows Movie Maker file in a different format other than avi? I am
using MyDVD vers.8 to burn.

Overall I just can't seem to understand why i have to change the wmv
format to avi and then burn to dvd, when if i just burn straight from
wmv to dvd its better?
