Help Please

[Shelley NNP]

I am trying to help a friend prepare a video cd for her daughter's graduation
party. I have made a movie using photos, music, transitions, etc, in windows
movie maker. I have tried using several different routes of burning this to
cd-r and cd-rw, but none will play on my dvd player. Ihave even tried
several different brands of media. Please can someone tell me what i am
missing???

If this is a standalone DVD player, you need to check that it will play
VCDs. Best place to look is www.videohelp.com

The rpoblem probably lies in the fact that you need to use 3rd party
software to burn a vcd. MM doesn't make a proper vcd and doesn't play on dvd
players only pc's. Do a google search for vcdeasy, which will accept an avi
file you save from MM and make a proper vcd, or svcd the better quality one.
Check out how to save as dv-avi in MM at
www.myvideoproblems.co.uk
if you don't know how to do that.
