MM2 output for DVD

[Paul Johansen]

I have a MM2 movie that is about 1 hr and 10 mins long,
so if I save it back out to DV-AVI format it will be too
large to fit on a DVD (It is about 13GB and the DVD will
only hold 4.7). Does anyone have any suggestions for what
format to save it in to get the maximum quality but still
remain within the size constraints of the DVD?

Thanks!

Paul

DVD uses MPEG2 format. I believe MM2 movies are WMV. You will need to
convert your MM2 movies to MPEG2.

You'll need another app to convert to DVD, Movie Maker won't do it directly.

Save as DV-AVI and then you can use whatever burning app you have to make
the conversion when you burn. If you have a DVD burner it likely came with
MyDVD or something similar that will do this.
