Once you've finished your video in Movie Maker click on Save to My Computer.
From the Drop Down Menu, select DV-AVI format as the file format.... you'll
need 12gb per hour of video.
Once it's saved, remember where you saved it and what you called it.
Open SonicMyDVD... Import the DV-AVI file and then burn the DVD.

CAn anyone help me???
I have made a movie on movie makes and do not know how to put it on DVD. It
is too large and if I make it avi file loses lots of quality. Do you need
this software such as Using Sonics My DVD to do this?? Is it possible to
save as Mpeg11
Many thanks

First thing to do is to stop looking at the size of the DV-AVI file. It
should be approximately 12gb per hour of video but that fact is totally
irrelevant.
When you re-encode the file and burn it to a DVD, you can fit an hour of
video easily on to a single layer 4.7gb DVD... and if you use LP,
approximately two hours.
MPEG1 is NOT DVD quality. It is VCD quality which is LOWER than the
standard VHS cassette tape.
Second thing to do is read the manual that comes with your third party DVD
burning program.
Third thing is to edit your movie in MovieMaker, and then save as a DV-AVI
file. Again, do NOT worry about the size of the file... the only reason you
would even need to consider this factor is when you check your hard drive
has enough free space to fit the file on it.
Fourth.. open your third party DVD burning software and import the DV-AVI
file. Tell it to make the DVD... which of course you now know how to do
because you've read the manual.
Sit back, let it re-encode and burn the DVD. Don't surf, play games, music
or do anything else while it's working. Step away from the PC and go do the
vacuuming, the laundry, make coffee, clean the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom...
whatever you like, just don't touch that PC until the DVD is finished
burning and (usually) ejects itself.

I was looking at this post and wanted to ask, I was wondering if you
recommend someone editing their final movie in WMM or in MyDVD? Or does it
matter? If a person edits in WMM do they need to edit in MyDVD?
I too have been trying to make a movie or whatever you want to call it from
a mini-dv camcorder of raw footage I have on some cassettes that are in LP
mode when I recorded. Therefore these tapes have 90 minutes of recording time
on them.
I made a movie with the WMM and noticed it took about 18GB of space on my
HDD to record the movie. After reading your advice I realize the file size
doesn't matter. But whenever I tried to put it in MyDVD the program always
says the file is too large and it won't even let me try and burn it.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing a step?
I use Sonic MyDVD 5.3
Windows XP
1GB Ram
80G HDD
I for now basically want to copy the footage from dv-camcorder to send to
other people and let them edit whatever footage they would like to edit.
Am I going about this all right?
