windows movie maker - saving to my computer

So I've finished my movie and then clicked on 'Save to my computer' I go
through all the normal steps and then when it comes to the actual saving part
it says 'Your movie is being created and saved to a recordable CD'.
After the 4th time trying this to see if it will work I see that the
'Destination' is correct so I figured I'd just wait until it would save, but
then it says 323465346 (or a similar ridiculous number) minutes remaining and
it doesn't change.
Anyone have any ideas?
