Movie maker - recognition of CD-RW

[Guest]

I have installed moviemaker but when I come to save to CD it will not recognise my CD-RW drive. I have a LG GCC-4480B drive and can burn the movie using Nero software - but not directly from moviemaker. Any suggestions of how I can get MM to recognise the drive?

Firstly mm only makes pc compatible cd's, so it would be best to keep using
nero if you want to play them in dvd players.

Try this if you have to, taken from previous posts....

Hi,

If the above KB Article doesn't help. Please open notepad, copy and paste
the following text. (in between the "Start of File" and "End of File")

I have installed moviemaker but when I come to save to CD it will not

recognise my CD-RW drive. I have a LG GCC-4480B drive and can burn the movie
using Nero software - but not directly from moviemaker. Any suggestions of
how I can get MM to recognise the drive?

Maybe it's just a setting. See the second of the 'Dated but Timeless Posts'
on the CD Burning > Intro page of my website.
