Does not support this file type

[Guest]

I have made a movie with the Movie Maker and then tried to burn a DVD using
Sonic, which I understand is the DVD burning program that Microsoft
recommends. When I try to import the files into the Sonic program I get a
message that the program does not support the files that I am attempting to
import.

What do I do? If I have to convert the files to another format, how do I do
it?
