====================================
Have you tried to save the file to your hard drive?

The following free software might burn the DVD for you.

DVD Flick
http://www.dvdflick.net/

Be sure to read the Guide:
http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php

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
http://www.freevideoworkshop.com/dvdflicktutorial.htm

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.

Hopefully you are not getting terms confused. NTFS is a file system on the
hard drive (the way the computer physically stores the information on the
hard drive.) The two most common types of file systems on hard drives are
FAT32 and NTFS. FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB. Anything over that
and the save will fail. NTFS has only a file size limit of the physical
space left on the drive. NTCS is the file format for "TV" video standards
and is the opposite of PAL.

To see what file system you have on your hard drive, open My Computer, right
click on the C: drive and then click properties. A window will open and
about 1/3 the way down you will see File system: and either NTFS or FAT32.
If it says FAT32 that is why you got the message as DV-AVI files are
extremely large for a 30 minute video.

To solve the problem, first read: http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php,
align the clusters per the instructions, then convert the FAT32 drive to
NTFS using the convert command.
 
I check my C drive next to file system it says NTFS and stillccant save it.
Do you have anymore suggestion.

Thanks

I'm going to ask a lot more questions below only in an attempt to help.
Please answer all if you can.

Do you by chance have a partitioned hard drive or more than one hard drive
in the computer? If so do the NTFS/FAT32 check on those drives also.

How much free hard drive space is available on any and all hard drives in
the system? While there is a general formula for hard drive space required
for each minute of video, I don't have it handy at present. You will need
significant free space while saving the video.

Which version of Movie Maker are you using (just let us know what version of
Win XP and installed service pack you are using.)

Where did you get the source files for the video you are creating? What are
the file formats?

Doing some research I also find that there is a possible 2 or 4 GB file size
limit using certain codecs for AVI output file types. Since I don't know
what codecs you have installed I recommend trying to use a different format
to output. In your OP you changed the save option to High quality video
NTSC and you said that it wouldn't "burn" not enough free space. The way I
read that comment you are, with the hardware you have, are out of hard drive
space for the size of the video but it attempted to create the file.


If John Inzer or PapaJohn (or of course anyone else) have any
recommendations, please comment.
