Windows DVD Maker Shuts Down Computer

[Phil]

I have Windows Vista Home Premium (there's apparently no newsgroup for
Windows Movie Maker or Windows DVD Maker on Windows Vista) and I've created
a nine-segment storyboard in WMM that covers about an hour and a half.

I inserted a blank DVD-R disc in the drive and selected DVD under Publish
To. I select Ok to open up Windows DVD Maker and select to burn the DVD.
It progresses along fine for a short while until it gets to the 5.6% point.
Then it abruptly shuts down my computer.

What could be the cause of this? Any way to fix this problem? Thanks.

=========================================
I would suggest creating a shorter project. Typically...
a 4.7GB DVD holds one hour of high quality video.
Also, you may have resource issues or video driver
issues.

The correct newsgroup for Vista Movie Maker /
DVD Maker is:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video

Here's a link to the web version:
