Save to DVD in MovieMaker

[Guest]

I completed a movie, put a DVD in the burner, and clicked "save to DVD". The
burner ran and ran as if it were creating a DVD but it never did. I finally
stopped it and opened Sonic and successfully burned the movie using this
program. Is movie maker supposed to burn DVD's? If not, what does the "save
to DVD" option do?

For those who have it, and most don't, the Save to DVD option in Movie Maker
saves the movie as a WMV file and passes it over to the Sonic DVD wizard....
which converts it to MPEG-2 and makes the DVD.

The option is added by the computer OEM, not by the Windows XP software, so
issues with it would be resolved via the OEM's or Sonic's tech support.
