Movie Maker cannot create the DVD because an error has occured.

[Metsrule71531]

I keep getting this error when trying to burn my slideshow to a DVD. It gets
all the way to the end and then this error message appears. No more than 2
weeks ago did I burn a DVD using Windows Movie Maker and I cannot get it to
work now. I have burned many DVD slideshows using this in the past. I have
tried burning it almost 10 times and still it wont work. I am clicking the
Save to DVD link in the sidebar just as I have in the past. Someone please
help me. I need this slideshow ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

================================
It's possible that the project is too complex.
Too many photos, too many transitions, etc...
IOW...the project may be exceeding your
system resources.

I wonder if you could Publish the project to
your hard drive and then import the completed
..wmv movie file into DVD Maker?

It is about 16 minutes long with 3 songs and transitions about every 3 or 4
slides. I have pictures that are about 5 seconds long each. Does that sound
like the problem?

Hard to say...depends on your system resources...
why not try Publishing to your hard drive and see
what happens? And...it's possible that your source
files are having compatibility issues.,,,MP3s can
often cause issues.

See the following articles on 'Publishing'...(that's
movie maker lingo for 'Save The Video File'):
