I have made my project, but want to burn it on DVD. I want to play it on a
home DVD player, not a computer. Any ideas? Do I have to convert the file? If
so how do I do it...

You will have to buy a third party application to do this. Most popular app
for burning movies created under WMM2 is Sonic MyDVD.

Using MM2, you should save your project as a DV-AVI file; the resultant
file is the highest quality file that MM2 will produce, and then Sonic MyDVD
will convert that file into DVD compliant MPEG2 files that will play on
*most* stand alone DVD players.

Thanks for the response. I figured it out! I used Record now... it did a
great job.

Jennifer,

Record Now is for burning data files. Did you actually try to play it on a
DVD player or did you just check it on your PC? You may have just burned data
to your DVD not 'authored' an actual DVD.

Yes, Steve is correct. I have Record Now also, and it only makes a dvd data
file.
I use Ulead's Movie Factory to author and burn dvd's. The basic one costs
about $50..but you can try out the trial to see if you like it. I find it to
be very stable and least likely to bomb out on me like others did, which gave
me a lot of dvd coffee coasters! ha ha

Check out Movie Factory at http://www.ulead.com/runme.htm

Click on 'disc creator' info....and then on the second page you can click on
the 'trial'
for the Movie Factory 4 Standard Edition. Good luck.
