How do you import Movie Maker files into Sonic MyDVD to burn to di

[Guest]

I love Movie Maker for editing video and stringing together pics to make a
slideshow set to music. I was disappointed after creating a project to
realize you can't burn to disc - but instead need to use a third party
software. At Microsoft's suggestion (on the website) I purchased MyDVD from
Sonic to burn the project to disc. Unfortunately, when I try to add a file
(formerly created in Movie Maker - .mswmm) MyDVD indicates that file type is
not supported. I have read rave reviews about other users who make projects
in Movie Maker then burn them to disc in MyDVD. Can anyone help? Microsoft
and Sonic have let me down so far. Appreciate any tips!

Well they didn't truly let you down you just need a quick lesson.
The MSWMM file you refer to is just a project file used by Movie Maker to
reopen your project for later editing etc... You need to actually save your
movie to your harddrive by either pressing CTRL+P or clicking "Save to my
computer" under the Finish Movie portion of the Movie Tasks. After following
the prompts from the save movie wizard you will have a movie file with
either a WMV or a AVI extension depending on what options you choose. You
will be able to import this file into MyDVD. I recommend that you save the
file as DV-AVI since you are planning on creating a DVD.
