Question Posted Wednesday March 21 2007, 8:20 pm

I made a video for a project using my digital camera and windows movie maker. It turned out sooo well. So I saved it to CD-R, because that had more than enough space. I took it to school, the DVD player wouldn't read it. So we put it in the laptop and hooked up the projector to it, so we could play it on a screen for the class. The laptop read it just fine, and the projector worked just fine, except it wouldn't show the movie on the projector. It showed the desktop and the Windows Media Player, but where the movie was supposed to be, it was just black (while it was playing on the screen of the laptop). I cant just connect the computer or laptop to the tv, for some reason. So I went home and tried to burn the movie onto a DVD+RW (because others had done this, and the DVD player read their disk), and it processes for like 10 minutes, gets almost all the way done, then something pops up and says "Movie was not saved to CD. An unknown error occured" or something like that. I have no idea what to do! I am out of ideas! Any help, on what to do about showing it to the class or about getting it to burn to dvd?

I can help you on only half of your problem I'm afraid. The reason the CD wouldn't read in the DVD player is because DVD players can't read videos on CDs. You should check to see if you have a DVD burner on your computer, if you do then you buy blank DVDs and can burn it on. The DVD player then SHOULD read it. I'm not sure why the computer is being lame and not showing up on the projector, perhaps somebody else above me will know.
