Wojo, thanks for picking up the thread....
NTFS is a file system. Your hard drive is either formatted NTFS or
FAT32.
To find out which you need to open "My Computer" then right click the
drive in question and click 'Properties'
Under the [General] tab (which should be showing) you will see: File
system: {NTFS} or {FAT32}
The reason you want to use NTFS instead of FAT32 specifically when
video
editing is that FAT32 only allows a 4GB maximum file size which is not
much when working with high quality videos of any length. Here are a
couple articles about converting FAT32 to NTFS:

There is no "option" finish movie. On the left side of your screen is
a
task list and #3 on the task list is "Finish Movie" Below that should
be
a clickable link that says "Save to my computer" if you don't have
either
then what version of WMM are you running?
In storyboard view if you have a specific clip selected and then press
the PLAY button the preview will begin with that clip. I am guessing
that
this is why you are having that particular problem.

I have read your info on saving a movie; however, what is NTFS.
Also,
when
I try to save the movie, I don't have the option "Finish Movie" or
the
menu
"Movie Setting" with the rest of the options. Also, the storyboard
shows the
clips as I have placed them, but when I preview the movie, a clip
appears
that is shown earlier in the movie. HELP!!!

Are you basicly saying it is impossible for me to use Movie Factory
and
burn
a project from WMM onto a DVD?

DWZ files are project files not video files. You can open DWZ
project
files
with DVD Movie Factory but you can't "convert" then to a video
file
to
import into another program.

that?

Make sure your hard drive is formatted as NTFS or an output
file
larger
than
4 GB will cause errors, if not convert it to NTFS before
proceeding.
Once you have finished placing what you want on the timeline or
storyboard
with any desired transitions, click on Finish Movie to drop
down
its
options. Click on save to my computer.On the next screen tell
the
computer
what the movie's name is and where you want to place it on the
hard drive
(Browse) then click next.
On the next menu called Movie Setting, click on the Other
settings: radio
button. Click on the white window and then scroll down to
near
the
bottom
of the list. You should see DV-AVI (NTSC). Click on that then
click
Next.
The movie will be saved. Remember, you will need plenty of
hard
drive
space
to save the movie in this format. Once finished, don't worry
about the
size
of the finished file. Import the new file into your DVD
authoring
software.
The final product will be created as .VOB, IFO and .BUF files
on
the DVD
by
the authoring software.
How do I make my edited movie into a AVI or WMV file. Start
from
immediately
after I am done editing my movie on WMM. By the way I have an
external
DVD
burner using Ulead DVD Movie Factory stuff.

You need to create your movie as either an AVI or WMV file
by
using
WMM
and
then use whatever DVD creation software you have purchased
or
obtained
with
your DVD burner to create the menu system and burn the DVD.
WMM, other than the Media Center version (and I understand
it
doesn't
work
too well,) does not natively create DVDs.
HELP!!! I currently have Windows XP Movie Maker. I
captured
video
onto
that
program and edited it to my liking. Now I need a way to
burn
it onto
a
DVD
in
order to play on a DVD player and share with my family.
Please help
me!!
Thank you!

appreciate you helping me. Thank you all
