I have created a movie file in Pinnacle, then turned it into an MPEG for
burning to DVD. When I open Movie Maker it does not support the file. I
have also tried to do it in Nero but will not work either. Any suggestions?
 
Hello,

Its not clear why you have Movie Maker involved in this....Movie Maker is
simply an editor/compiler. It does nothing on the DVD authoring side of things

I think you need to go read the manual on what Nero will do and how to operate
it...as it DOES take Mpeg video in to make a DVD from

O.K. guys no need to get huffy about it. I have tried in Pinnacle to save it
as an MPEG1 but it will only let me save to MPEG2. So Nero does not seem to
like this. Any suggestions?

I am not sure what you are talking about....Nero works happily with both
formats...see the below from the Nero help file..With regards to Pinnacle, this
would not be my first place of reference...try their tech support.

DVD-Video
Using MPeg-2 technology to compress video files, a DVD-Video can hold up to 135
minutes of video on a 4.7GB DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW in a quality far superior to VHS
video or VCD (see below). You are able to view your disc on most DVD players
which makes it wonderful for storing all your home videos in the highest
possible quality! You can also play DVD's on your PC if you have the appropriate
software and DVD-ROM drive.
miniDVD
In principal a miniDVD is the same as a CD-R or CD-RW written in UDF format with
a DVD structure. It offers the same technical options and qualities as a DVD,
can create chapters or animated menus and support subtitles and multiple audio
tracks (including real digital multi channel sound). While compatibility with
all DVD players is not guaranteed, miniDVDs can be played by computers without
any problem.
Video CD (VCD)
Using MPeg-1 technology to compress video files, a VCD generates a quality
roughly similar to VHS video and can hold up to 74/80 minutes on 650MB/700MB CDs
respectively of full-motion video along with stereo sound. VCD's can be played
on most DVD players and on your PC if you have the appropriate software and a
drive that can read CD-R/CD-RW discs.

John:
How long a video can you typically fit on a "miniDVD"? What software plays
it on a computer? Does it require something like WinDVD, or will it play in
WMPlayer? Will it play on a MAC? I ask these questions because I sometimes
make relatively short movies that I give out, and would much rather give out
a CD-R than a DVD-R (cost). Thanks.
