When I try to burn my movie to a cd I get a message saying "A recordable CD drive was not detected." I have a CD-RW/DVD player in my computer but for some reason it can't locate it. Is there any other way for me to burn the movie to a disk? or will I need to search online for different movie making software to accomplish this?

Hi,

If the above KB Article doesn't help. Please open notepad, copy and paste
the following text. (in between the "Start of File" and "End of File")
