MyDVD will read so i can burn it to a DVD. Movie Maker does not allow me to
save the file as anything but a MSWMM, and I under stand it needs to be an

Use the main menu > File > Save Movie File > My Computer > name and folder
location > Show more - or Other Settings > use the drop down to select
DV-AVI..

Then use the saved AVI file in MyDVD

Hello there,

Click on FILE > SAVE MOVIE FILE and follow the dialog to the point where you
are asked what format, click on SHOW MORE OPTIONS and then select DV-AVI.

hi,
I am trying to make a "DVD player' readable format. But 146MB size movie
(WMV format) when converted into DVI-AV (NTSC) format, size increases to
12GB. Is this normal. Is there any compressing technique or some solution so
my entire movie can go on to one DVD-disk (DVD player redable).

Thanks in advance,
Uday

The file format that is written on a DVD Video is neither WMV nor DV AVI. It
is MPEG2, whose size will be more than a wmv but quite less than DV AVI. So
to know whether or not your movie will reside on a dvd; you should first
convert it to MPEG2 format.

You can use TMPGenc/Procoder to convert to MPEG2 or some other application.
Some DVD authoring packages such as My DVD do the encodng for you but they
dont offer much control on parameter tweaking. With a high bitrate of 8Mbps
(as used by MyDVD) you would be able to fit about an hour long video on a
dvd.

Thanks for your quick response Rehan. After converting movie into MPEG (I
selected MPEG2 while converting, but it says movie.MPEG after converting), I
tried to run it using a dvd player software, but it failed. does that mean it
would't play in a regular DVD player.
(Files on a regular movie DVD are in *.VOB format. )

Thanks in advance,
Uday

The extension is .mpg or .mpeg for both MPEG1 and MPEG2.

If it failed in dvd software then there must be something wrong with it. Try
it with Media Player Classic which uses its own mpeg2 codec. This would
eliminate if the dvd software is at fault.

Did you use any non standard settings when encoding to MPEG2 ?

VOB is a packaging format for multiplexing the video (mpeg2), audio
(ac3/pcm/mp2) and subtitle streams. These get generated by the Authoring
step of DVD Movie making.

You can't save directly to a DVD in Movie Maker,
if that's what you're trying to do.

Follow John's instructions to save your movie
as a DV-AVI file in Movie Maker.

Then use NeroVision Express to import that
DV-AVI file, and author & burn your DVD.

Hello Louie,
You're right! Nobody can burn DVD straight from the box of Nero-6! You've to spent another $24.99 for their DVD Video Plug-in (by
eMail): https://secure.nero.com/us/secure.asp and if you're looking for their old version: https://secure.nero.com/us5/secure.asp

Hope this helps,
--Rino
