Can't Save to CD

After spending months scanning pictures, importing them into MM2 and adding an assortment of digital photos and MP3 files, my movie was finally complete. Now, when I try to save the movie to CD, it doesn't work. It gets to 95% complete and then the CD auto-ejects. There is absolutely nothing on the CD. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I just need to get this movie onto a CD.

Thank you
 
What are you using to get it on to the cd? If MM, do you realise that it
will only then play on pc's, or hi-matt versions of dvd players (very very
few).
Use something like nero.
Space wise, how long is the movie?
Have you enough free space for it to make the temp file?
MP3's are not good with MM, it's best to stick to WMA's

Graham,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I was trying to use MM to save my movie to CD. I would REALLY like to save this movie to a CD so that it can be viewed on my DVD player. I do have Nero ver 5.5.9. I think I tried using Nero a few months ago and had a problem. But it's been so long, I don't remember what it was. The video itself is about 15 minutes long. I shold have ample sapce to make the temp file. If you're referring to hard drive space, I have an 80 gb HD with plenty of room on it. Unless there is a setting somewhere in MM that I need to adjust the size of the temp file? And I do have a program that I can convert the MP3's to WMA's so that shouldn't be a problem.

So, I guess my nest step is to do the conversion of the music files. What do I need to do to save it to CD using Nero?

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
I don't often use nero, but generally you would save the file from MM as a
dv-avi file type on the computer.
Then Nero would normally run a wizard for producing the likes of vcd's, so
it's a question of choosing make vcd from the options, and picking the
dv-avi you made and asking nero to make the vcd, it may take a while as it
would have to convert the file to the neccessary file type (mpeg1) and then
burn the vcd.
At 15 mins, try choosing SVCD which is better quality and uses a mpeg2 file
type.
