Im new at this and am having a problem trying to figure out how to
put my slide show on a dvd that i can watch on tv. I burned a cd of
it and it came out fine for the computer but cant figure out how to
do a dvd. thanks for any help
============================================
Wow...not much info to go on.
WinXP or Vista?
Do you have a DVD Burner and a DVD blank?
OK...I guess you created the slide show with Movie Maker?
Did you save the slide show as a movie in the .wmv format?
(If you only have the .mswmm project file...you don't have a
movie yet)...let us know if you need instructions on saving.
Ok...the following free program and instructions should help
you create a DVD that is playable on your free standing DVD
Player...(FWIW...just so you know...some DVD Players will
not play home made DVDs)
DVD Flick

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.

Burn Any PC Video Format into DVD

To create a basic Video DVD that should play in a free
standing DVD player...try the following...
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 Cyberlink, Nero, Roxio,
Ulead, etc...but at least this is a start.
Good luck.
