Re: Burning to DVD

Depending on what software you are using to author your DVD you can create
an ISO image file.
This way whenever you want to burn another copy of the DVD all you need to
do is open the ISO and the rendering is already done.
You would only need to go through the rendering process once in creating the
ISO then each disk after that is much faster.

You can't do it in Movie Maker.
In Movie Maker you save the movie to your computer.
Then you import it into your DVD Authoring program.
The authoring program is what is used to create an ISO image file of the
DVD.
