making dvd with windows movie maker

[Guest]

i have created a 30min movie with a short slide show of photos at the end on
windows movie maker. i want to burn the movie on to a dvd-rw disk but half
way through it says there was an error and the movie could not be saved. i
downloaded mydvd8 to try and burn the movie using this but it gave an error
message while it was encoding the movie. i am out of ideas and really want to
get this on a dvd. could there be something wrong with the timeline of the
movie that is causing the saving to dvd to error, like a gap or something? is
it the slide show at the end that is causing the problem? i was able to get
it to save to a dvd+rw disk without the slide show, but that disk does not
play on my dvd player. now i have added the slideshow and am trying to get it
down on a dvd-rw. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

If it worked without the slideshow and now it doesn't it does somewhat pint
the finger at the slideshow. Try removing it again, save the project under a
different name and tehn delete the slises and try saving.
MM often doesn't work well with Jpegs, try changing them to bitmap and also
don't use mp3 audio, try wma/wav/wmv.
