All,
Am new to this. I have just made a movie about my wedding It is saved
as WMV. I tried to save to CD (two different types inc a DVD CD) and
neither play in different DVD players. Have I to do something else
first. I just cant find much info on this. Help is appreciated
=================================
(Scroll down for details)
Sounds like you simply copied the .wmv file
to the disk which creates a Data Disk. You
need to create a Video CD (VCD) or a
Video DVD...both of which require Authoring
software.
First the VCD...scroll down for DVD.
The following software is not free but you could
use the 15 day trial version to create your VCD.
WinDVD Creator 3

Steps to create a simple VCD.
No guarantees but the following steps work for me.
Download and install the WinDVD Creator software.
Open WinDVD Creator
On the opening screen...choose...Start New Project...
On the main screen...double left click the right pane
to open the 'Import Media Files' window.
Browse to and select the .wmv Video Clip you wish to
burn on the VCD.
Drag the clip to the timeline at the bottom of the screen.
Insert a blank CD in your burner.
Left click the 'Make Movie' button.
On the first screen...left click the Arrow (next)
On the next screen...Choose...Format - VCD
Be sure TV System is NTSC.
Left click the 'Burn' button.
Wait until the VCD is created.
Now the DVD Info:
(DVD Flick is free)

Be sure to read the Guide:

If you have problems downloading DVD Flick...
try the following direct link:

Save the file to a folder on your hard drive and
install from there.

To create a basic Video DVD that should play in a free
standing DVD player...try the following...
Good luck.
First...read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize yourself
with the program.
Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your burner.
If your computer's Autoplay window opens....just close it.
Click the Project Settings button and go to...Video /
Target format...residents of USA...choose...NTSC /
Accept.
Left click the Add title button and browse to your
Movie Clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.
You can arrange them by selecting one and then use
the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
Left click the Create DVD button / OK / Yes / Yes.
Wait while the DVD is created.
When the text "Finished Successfully" appears you
may close DVD Flick. Now you can eject your DVD
and play it in your DVD player.
At some point you may wish to purchase more
advanced software like Nero, Roxio, Ulead, etc...but
at least this is a start.
