Nero can't open PhotoStory wmv

I noticed from some of the previous posting that this list has some
participants who have used NeroVision Express to create a DVD from a wmv that
was created in PhotoStory 3. This is exactly what I am trying to do.

On the step where I create the wmv from PhotoStory 3 what settings do I need
to select? I have been selecting "Save your story for playback on your
computer" and "Profile for computers 4 - (1024 x 768)".

When I open NeroVision Express 3, I select that I want to "Make DVD ->
DVD-Video". Then I "Add Video Files" and select the wmv that PhotoStory 3
created. I get the error "Unable to insert C:\My Videos\PhotoStory3.wmv."
If I select a wmv file that was created by Microsoft MovieMaker it works
fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nero software, installed the
latest patch and I'm still having the problem.

Any suggestions that anyone could offer would be appreciated. I'm thinking
it may be that I'm not selecting the right settings either in PhotoStory or
in NeroVision Express. I know that there are some configurations that I can
do in the Nero software but I don't know enough to know what will work. I
really like the functionality in PhotoStory better than MovieMaker and would
like to get this to work with the Nero software.

Thank you!
 
Its pretty likely that the version of Nero Express that you are using doesn't
understand PhotoStory's image codec (Windows Media 9 Image v2). Without
boring you with the details, you have 2 options. You can open it in Movie
Maker and output it (which will render it using another codec that Nero can
undertand), or you can upgrade to the latest version of Nero, which might
understand the codec listed above.
