Movie Maker File Format

[WGS]

I've used Movie Maker to create, edit and add soundtrack
to a video. The movie compiles (renders?). I then click on
the file in the "My Videos" folder, then click on "copy to
cd" and so far so good.
When I go to open and play the file from the CD, I get the
following message: "Cannot play back the file. The format
is not supported." I think I've seen that the file on the
CD is in "MSWindowsMoviemaker" format--MMW.
Why doesn't Movie Maker record in MPEG? Why doesn't Media
Player recognize the file format used by "Copy to CD"
option in My Videos folder?
Frustration is beginning to set in--please help!
Thanks.
