trouble burning to DVD for television playback

[Kirsten]

I am using the most current version of Windows Movie Maker and Nero 7. First
I tried burning the wmv file. When I played it back on the dvd hooked to the
television the sound would skip and the picture would freeze for a moment
thru out. Then I tried burning the avi file I saved using windows movie
maker. This time it started to play and then not long after it started it
froze on one picture and didn't go any further. I know I created a slide
show for dvd/television playback years ago and all worked fine. I just can't
remember what I used. How is this best accompished? What am I doing wrong?
What audio file format is best to use with movie maker for burning to dvd
television playback? Thanks so much.

I used Nero Smart Essentials and when I chose make your own DVD video another
screen comes up that says Nero Vision 4 Essentials. Then I click add video
files and it burns it to my DVD burner in a format compatible for playback.
As I stated earlier, it does that but it doesn't do it well or right. I
have music and video skips and freezes. Thanks, Kirsten

Sorry, I forgot I am using Windows XP.

====================================
Windows XP or VIsta?

Are you using 'NeroVision' to author your DVD?
If yes...which version?

Here's some info on compatible formats:

==================================
If the Nero suite you are using includes
"Nero Vision 4 Essentials"...try using it.

Here's a 7 page tutorial that may be useful:

Could be a bad batch of dvds, try another make from another store and buy
decent ones.

Did you hear of the Total Video2Dvd?I think it is your best
choice.it's safe and works pretty well.It is the most powerful
conversion tool that it can "Auto Convert and Burn MKV, Blu-ray TS,
M2TS, AVCHD MTS, HDV1080i, Divx, Rm, Wmv, Avi to DVD Video Disc
directly."It is very easy to use, and offer the better quality,.You
can try it.

==========================================
Depends on the source files and your system resources.

It's best to have patience, use a slow burn speed and do
not multi-task while the DVD is being encoded and burned.
