Converting to DVD

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a way to convert a .mswmm cd to a DVD format, after the
project has been completed and saved?

Use the WMV file on the CD as the source file for your DVD software... if it
can't handle WMV, convert it to a DV-AVI file (you can do it with Movie
Maker).

..mswmm is only a source file for Movie Maker created when you save your
project for the purpose of editing the project later. It is NOT a video file
and therefore can't be converted to anything. You need to save the movie by
clicking "Save to my computer" or typing CTRL+P and then follow Papajohn's
advice of using DVD Authoring software to create your DVD. For a list of
software see my website (DVD Programs) section.

..mswmm is not a video format. It is the parameters of your project
(location of files, edits, effects, titles, etc) saved in a format that MM2
can understand. You *MUST* save the project as a DV-AVI file, preferably at
720x480 (DVD native). Once the movie is complete, use your preferred DVD
authoring program to import the video and convert it to DVD.

Sonic MyDVD, Roxio Creator, and Ulead DVD Moviefactory are the most popular
DVD authoring programs.

The other problem I can foresee is that not all the source files may have
been saved to the cd, so when you open the .mswmm file in movie maker you
may get lots of red X's in the timeline. In order to make the avi you'll
need access to these files.
