See http://papajohn.org for discussion and details.

Note that if your "movie" consists entirely of photos, you might also want
to look at the new version of Microsoft's Plus! Digital Media Edition which
now supports creating a VCD.

VCD works IF your DVD player can play CD-R media.

Not entirely true: there are commerical VCDs available (mostly in asia) that
are mass-produced (like music CDs) and thus not on a CD-R disk. And a DVD
player could read CD-R media (for mini-DVDs, MP3/WMA playback, etc.) w/o
necessarily supporting the VCD format.

However, as a practial matter, almost all recent (say 2002 and later) DVD
players will read CD-Rs (and CD-RWs) and support VCDs.

But none of this really applies to WMM, since the CDs it creates
(HighMAT/video) can not be played in any currently available stand-alone DVD
player. If you want to view your WMM movies on a stand-alone DVD player,
you'll need third-party tools; see http://papajohn.org for details.

plethora of information on VCDs and more...

Yes you can save them easily in the options you get to
chose which format,,, Choose save movie as DV-AVI(pal)
this is listed under Other Settings in the drop down list.
This will save it to an AVI,,, Then simply use your
burning program to add them to a vcd the files will be
large on your PC but once added to your disc they hardly
take any room up at all. I know this works for I have
done many Camera captured mjpgs and imported them into
movie maker to make a great keep sake for my Brothers
son hope this helped you

This newsgroup is for Windows MovieMaker, which doesn't create VCDs (or DVDs
for that matter).
