I keep getting the message when I want to finalize a movie that there
is no recordable device detected. I solved the problem by downloading
the Free Imgburn program but the movie will not play on any other
internally installed DVD player or a DVD Player connected to a
television set.
The ImgBurn website indicated it is a common problem with windows
moviemaker. I'd rather just use the windows moviemaker burn program -
anyone know what the problem might be?

================================
ImgBurn is an excellent app but it does not
render files into the DVD format...what it
does is create an ISO Image file of what
ever files you point it to. Then it will burn
the ISO file on a DVD...but the DVD is not
a Video DVD unless the source files were
VOB files in a VIDEO_TS folder.
If you Publish your Movie Maker project in
the .wmv format...you can import it into the
following freeware and create a DVD:
(FWIW) It's always a good idea to create a System
Restore Point before installing software or updates)

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 Cyberlink, Nero, Roxio,
Ulead, etc...but at least this is a start.
Good luck.
