MM Slideshows have no pictures when saved to WMP

[Roxylou]

When I create a slideshow with music in Movie Maker and save it to my
computer, then try to burn a CD using Windows Meda Player, there is no video,
only audio. Am I saving it wrong? I have no trouble burning a complete CD
from Movie Maker, but something is lost in the transition to Player.

Windows Media Player only burns Audio CDs.

Thanks for your time, John, but I am still lost. Is Picture It! the same as
Movie Maker? I didn't think I had Picture It!, so the link you gave me was
confusing. Is there help for my problem burning a CD of a sideshow made with
Movie Maker which I have saved in Media Player? None of the videos I have in
Media Player, including one I got off the internet, will copy images as well
as sound when burning. Viewing the videos using Media Player is fine. The
problem is when I try to burn CDs.

No Picture It! is not the same as movie
maker and I did not give you a link...that
link is part of my signature.

Again...Windows Media Player only burns
*Audio* CDs....not *Video* CDs. IOW....
sound but no graphics.

To burn a Video CD or Video DVD from
a Movie Maker .wmv or .avi file you need
DVD Authoring software. Some possibles
are: Nero, Roxio, ULead, ProShow Gold,
WinDVD, DVD SlideShow Builder, etc...
