MM can't create DVD because an error occured

[Guest]

I first got the following msg Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to
the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your
movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and
that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again." so I
freed up disk space (which really wasn't an issue), double checked to see if
everything I used was on my hard-drive. Went back to MM and tried to resave-
it quickly goes through the saving process brings me to Create a DVD popup.
It creates disc, converts files and then near the end a popup comes up "MM
cannot create the DVD because an error occured" doesn't say what the error is
to fix it and the DVD even though it's rewritable can't be used or deleted.

=============================
Apparently you are running the Media
Center Edition of Windows XP? The
DVD option in the MCE version of
Movie Maker has been reportedly
unreliable and I would suggest that you
save your project as a movie...(.wmv or
..avi) and use a different program to burn
your DVD.

Maybe the following articles will offer
some ideas:
