I have movie clips saved to my computer that are avi and they play fine in
wmp, but when I burn them from windows media experience to a dvd the audio is
fine, but the picture is distorted and looks tripled on my tv screen. I
tried saving the clips to my computer through wmm, but the sound is a second
or two off when I play it back on my computer or tv, however the picture is
fine.

I tried to save it to my computer as DV-AVI, but it took up so much space my
computer couldn't do it and the clip is only 30 minutes long.

I need help?

I am sure there is a simple thing I am forgetting to do. If anyone could
help me or point me in the right direction I would be so grateful!! I just
started making movies and am getting so frustrated with myself. Any
suggestions would be helpful.

Many thanks

They're probably really compressed files and no matter what you do, you will
never get them to look as good as you want them to be.

A 30 minute DV-AVI will be about 6gb in size.

If you have third party burning software such as Roxio or Nero, they might
(note the might) be able to burn without the audio syncing problems, but
unfortunately in highly compressed AVI files, it's very common. You learn
to live with it after a while.
