I created & edited a movie from my DV camcorder in Movie Maker 2. I saved the movie to my computer (Toshiba Laptop A15-S129) as a DV-AVI file. I went to a place to get it put on a DVD. Here are the problems

1. They tried to directly play the video from my computer to a output player thru a Firewire - it would not play.

2. We copied the file to his main computer thru a porable hard drive (directly copying from my laptop to the hard drive, then from the hard drive to his computer)

3. He then could play the movie in Windows Media Player with no problem. However, when he tried to import the movie into Adobe Premier Pro to get it ready for the DVD, it came up with a prompt error saying that the file contained no media data. (It is an .AVI file)

What are my chances of getting that to work?

Thanks for any help
 
Hello there,

Its not clear why you would want to impost it into Adobe. As far as I know
Adobe is just an editing package, better than Movie Maker but not with the
ability to "Author" a DVD

If you want the file edited then Movie Maker is fine for most things. Unless
you want some very expensive effects adding.

To put your video onto a DVD disk so that it plays in a domestic DVD player you
will need some DVD authoring software. Your DV-AVI file is imported into the
DVD Authoring software. Once imported you can add Chapter points and so on then
using then you send it to a blank DVD disk (from the DVD authoring software)
and that's it...job done.
