saving project to CD

Help!!! I cannot save my project to CD...it goes thru the burning stages and
at the end says:
Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard
An unknown error occured when saving the movie to CD
You may try again using a new Cd

Have done this twice, and wasted 2 CDs since my drive only takes CD-R
I know the CD are fine and have not yet been able to transfer to CD yet
with this program.

I have a similar issue. It works if I save to a CD, but not to a DVD !!! I
can burn data or music to CDs or DVDs from other programmes.

The windows media maker does not support DVD's...you need a third party
software that makes DVD's for that. I can't even burn my project to a
regular Cd!!!

What you are doing and what you are saying appear to be 2 different things.
You obviously know the need for third party software to author a DVD. But why
are you trying to save the PROJECT on a CD? Or are you really trying to save
MOVIE to CD? Your first post mentioned the Save Movie Wizard, but the second
post you said Save Project. These are 2 different things.

If you are trying to get the movie on CD and its small enough to fit, save
it to the hard drive then burn the data file with cd burning software.

I don't think you read my posts correctly...I am trying to save my movie
project on a CD and it will not work. I can save it on my hard drive but
cannot burn it to a CD thru WMM. When you burn thru WMM you use the wizard
and that is the error message it gives me. Yes, I can burn thru other
software but should be able to burn using this too!!

I agree with Steve. The issue of not being able to use the save movie wizard
to save to a CD has come up many many times and the fact is that it isn't
that much harder to save it to your hard drive and then burn it to the CD.
You don't even need the CD burning software Steve suggests. Windows Explorer
will do the trick just by dragging it to the CD burner drive designation,
select that drive, click "burn these files to CD" and your done.

If you are trying to use the "Save to CD" option with a DVD in the drive
that will not work.
If you have the "Save to DVD" option on your version of WMM then it should
be working but that option only creates a very simple DVD without menus and
chapter points etc...
To do anything worthwhile as a DVD you do need a DVD Authoring program such
as one of those listed in the "DVD Programs" section of my website.

He understood the post exactly the way you wrote it.
I understand what you are meaning to say but what you are saying is that you
are trying to save the "Project files" to a CD which of course you can't do
through WMM and I can't imagine why you would want to.

yes i said I was saving a project, not project files, and again I am asking
for help in burning a CD from WMM, but thank you for the advice as to burning
from my hard disk.

Saving a project means saving the files <clips> that make up your
project. But saving a movie saves your piece as a single file.

Anyway we now know what you meant so we will call it semantics.
Yes saving to the HDD and going from there is probably your best bet.

I can't seem to post a new question, so maybe someone can help me here.

I downloaded from Canon mini Dv, and created a nice movie in .wmv format.
Plays nice on computer. But I cannot burn a DVD with this format using Sony
NERO software. What do I do; can I save it in some other format that will
allow me to burn DVD? Do not want to do entire movie over.

and want to burn it to a disc for my mother inlaw. I clicked copy to cd. I

using my CD-DVD-RW with outher software
