Okay so I made a video with Windows Movie Maker.
And now I want to put the video on a disk to be viewed in a dvd player. I tried a CD-RW and a CD-R disk. But those wouldnt play the movie in my DVD player. Then I tried DVD-R disks and my computer wont even read them. So what's going on? The program I use to burn is called Record Now. Do I need a DVD burner for this stuff?? HELP!!!!
Windows Media Player will produce a video clip that is in WMV format but to be able to play this clip on your DVD player (be it one on a computer DVD player or a DVD player connected to your TV) it must first be converted to a DVD format.
There are a number of DVD recorders out there that will be able to help you in making this conversion but be warned that the longer the movie the longer it will take to convert and you may need a sufficiant amount of space on your hard drive.
There are programs out there that will perform the convertion as well as the burning process in one go for you so you don't have to do it all yourself in parts whichmakes the whole process very easy. I THINK that the popular Nero programn can do this for you but I am uncertain in this so if someone can verify that would be helpful.
The following programs were ones I was able to find for you but some of these may need you to purchase them before they will burn the DVD files to disk for you, you may just need to try them and see which work for you.
