HEEEELP!!

[Guest]

Ok. 1st my problem was getting a "Problem copying to CD" message. Solved it
by checking the "allow recordings here" box in the Cd-drive thingy.

NOW, I'm *able* to put my project on a cd, but when I check it on another
pc, I'm not seeing my full work.

I made a series of drawings using Paint & slapped in some song clips. The
whole thing came to 398 KB.

I tested it out on a different pc just now & I'm only seeing the beginning &
end credits.

This little project of mine was intended as a gift.

What has gone wrong here??!

I just read a post below about saving it in "movie format" 1st before putting
it to CD. Guess I'll try that after work....

=================================
That may be the problem...your .mswmm file
is only a project file for use in Movie Maker...
and it does not include the source files.

I cut'n'pasted a reply you gave to someone else below:

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /

Got stuck right here. Does this mean I'm typing "Ctrl+P" in the Run program
or am I *hitting* those keys? Where exactly am I typing Ctrl+P?

*******************************************
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

Ok. I figured out where to type "Ctrl+P" & followed your directions.

Afterwards, it made a "Windows Media Audio/Video file" in my folder. (size
6,874 KB)

THEN, I highlighted that & clicked the Copy to CD option & *this* time I got
a message that said "the (blank) disc I was using may no longer be usable"
something or other. I tried it w/ 2 different blank cd-rs & got the same
thing.

This should'nt be this difficult...

==================
Ok...now you are getting somewhere.

===================
I'm not sure why you would use
the WinXP Copy O CD option
for video. Were you just trying to
make a backup disk?

The whole thing is intended as a gift. None of the images are moving images.
Just stills I drew w/ a couple of short song clips.The only 'motion' is a
couple of image effects in a few of the frames. I figured a cd-r would work
just fine.

But since writing last, I went into Win Movie Maker again, found my project
& clicked on the icon to take me to the WMM screen. From *there*, I clicked
on the Copy to CD option. (as opposed to clicking on the same option from the
'My Videos' screen) & it *Seemed* to work this time.

But the true test will be if this CD will work on another pc....

==============================
Any saved project from Movie Maker is
Video regardless of what the source files
were.

Good luck with your project.
