DVD Writer Compatibility ?

I purchased a DVD Writer but can not seem to save to it. The only options
are saving to Computer, CD, E-mail, Web, or DV Camera

When I tried saving to CD, the program said the files are too large ( It's a
wedding video).

Is there a DVD Writer Patch ?

Hello there,

Movie Maker does not have the ability to write to a DVD.

It is usual for software to accompany a new DVD writer so that you can author a
DVD

XP does not include DVD writing software. You should use Save to My
Computer and then the third party software that came with the PC....Nero,
Roxio, Sonic etc.

Cari,
Can Windows Movie Maker capture video from the DVD Player?

From a standalone DVD player? If the DVD is not encrypted and you have a
S-Video in port, I would see no reason why a third party software could not
capture it as standard analog video. Windows MovieMaker is designed for
digital video.

From a DVD ROM you would use something like TMPGEnc to create an MPEG file.
