I have worked hours on creating a video out of pictures on movie maker. Now
that it is completed I have tried to play it in several DVD players and I
keep getting a "highmat" folder and the movie won't play. What am I doing
wrong. PLEASE HELP
 
Hello,

Moviie maker is suitable for editing video only....it has no feature tht can be
used on a dvd player.

An excelent software package is Nero 6 which you can try out for 30 days....you
would use the Vision Express part of the package to create a menue system etc
and then the program will compress all of the data so that it conforms to the
DVD standard. You can use it to make a DVD disk image only and then "mount"
that image making it seem as though it were another disc drive and play it on
your computer.....if you have a burner you can of course make a DVD in the
proper sense.

Nero 6 is a very highly regarded program...its worth a look www.nero.com

I have tried nero 7, but still have no clue what to do to make this PLease
help me in any way you can
 
I don't use Nero... the link to Nero on the DVD Software > Nero page of my
website takes you to a site at Nero that includes a Support area, and taking
that road says there are numerous tutorials with step by step procedures.

Hello,

The latest version of Nero is 6.

The process to make a DVD (assuming you own a DVD burner) is simplicity
itself...you click on Nero Vision Express, then Import your DV-AVI file you
made in Movie Maker, then you click on Create Chapters if you want them and
then click NEXT...you then pick which menu style you want and click Next...you
preview your work first and then click on Burn....job done

Hello Earl,

Yes exactly, its so easy we get junior school children doing it with
ease over here...maximum age 11yrs old. I think you will find that there are
some rather spurious messages floating around that are not necessarily from
the original poster and on top of that we also have MVP's who offer as
little help as possible...there are some good instances of this where the so
called expert (Lol) papajohn actively makes remarks to try and degrade the
impression of what other software can do...If I am wrong, then the other
argument applies...the Guy is so bad at analysing the abilities of other
software and his own self importance and belief in his own infallibility
results in statements that are quite laughable (Hint do a search in this
newsgroup on the word PerfectDisk and read his observations on that
program...its a
scream !!!)

Thanks for your input Earl.
