publishing a project

[x1x2x3x2x1x]

It’s my first time making a movie – actually the project is finished … but I
can’t figure out how to burn it on a DVD (I have DVD+R and DVD+RW available)
or publish it on my notebook. The project has 2,850 MB. (8 mp3, around 300
jpg, 13 png, 2 mpg … all together around 300 MB).
I tried as follows:
1. I clicked ‚publish on PC‘: a wmv data was created - when opening it, it
shows only the first picture (= png + mp3)
2. I clicked ‚publish on DVD‘: windows dvd maker pops up - error message …
dvd maker does not work anymore
3. I clicked ‚publish by e-mail‘: error message …. windows movie maker does
not work anymore
What I am doing wrong? Could you help me?
Thank you.

Anyway.
Source files will be your biggest problem, I should imagine.

I'd start by removing the mp3 music and swap it for wav.

Then try again.

If that doesn't work, I'd then make the project much smaller, amybe around
50 pics at a time. Once you've saved these small projects you can stitch
them together in a new one.

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to covert the mpgs to wmv

and the stills to a bitmap form.

Also, Photostory is really MS's slideshow app, MM is more designed for
working with video. Though you'd still be constrained somewhat by the file
formats you are using.

A lot of work this time, but bear this in mind for future work an all should
run much more smoothly.
