Hi again DeeDee; I'm still on for a bit and I saw your post. You don't need
any 'special' cd to save your movie. Were you trying to save from within
Movie Maker?
My suggestion is to 'save movie to computer' to render your movie and save
it as a video file in a folder of your choice. In the save wizard i'd
probably choose 'High Quality NTSC' as the format so that its quality looks
good on a media player....you would choose DV-AVI if you were going to make a
DVD.
Now, you are trying to put the movie on a CD. Are you just trying to burn
the file to the cd or are you trying to burn a video cd (vcd)? If you
make a vcd you could watch it on some dvd players....and if you save the
'image' file to the cd you can take it to other computers and play it or copy
it to that computer. Assuming you just want the video file on the cd to
play on other computers, you can do that from within Windows XP.... here is
the short version to do that.... ha ha
Insert a blank writable CD into the recorder
Open 'My Computer'
Click on the saved video file you want to copy to the CD
Then under File and Folder Tasks (left side) click on 'Copy this file'
In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD recording drive, and then click
'Copy'
In My Computer double click the CD recording drive, Windows displays a
temporary area where the files are held before copied...just verify that file
is the one you intend to coy to CD appearing under 'Files Ready to be Written
to the CD'
Under CD Writing Tasks, click WRITE THESE FILES TO CD...windows displays the
writing wizard and just follow the instructions.
I'm assuming your file isn't too big for the cd and that your computer has
sufficient space. If you want to make a VCD or a SVCD, I always suggest AVS
Converter (
www.avsmedia.com) since that is what I use and know the best.
Good luck again!
