Windows Movie Maker Question

Is there a way to make these files work on a home DVD player? I'm not finding any settings that are clearly for DVD playback. I saved a movie for NTSC, but it still made a WMV file???

Do I need a different program?

you can't do it directly with Movie Maker in the WMV file, unless you use the SonicMYDVD which can encode and burn WMV but the quality is not as good.

Output your file from WMM in DV-AVI to the hard drive.
Load the AVI into Nerovision Express or DVDSanta, author, encode, and burn.

Aye matey!

Beware though Cebby that not all DVD players like DVD-R media. I have a nice dual disc player that refuses to play any of the R media, I ended up buying a cheap $40 player that handles them just fine.
