I just installed a Firewire port in my computer today, uploaded some of last season's footage, and put together a short, 45 minute video (for one particular trip). I am using Windows movie maker, and it is taking FOREVER. The speed on the burner is Maxed out, and I've got boatloads of RAM. Is this normal for this program?

What are you using?

Thanx,

No and yes. If the video you are rendering is .avi, you might be looking at a whole lot of gigs of data to load to the program.

I can load a gig and a half to WMM in about 15 minutes. Once the movie is complete save it to My Documents/My Videos, then you can burn all the CD's you want from that folder.

Thanx Steve!
Another question for you, if you do not mind.
Why wont it work in my DVD player? or is that too much of an open ended question, that many things may be going on?

You need to use a program that specifically burns the disc so it will work in a CD/DVD drive or strictly a DVD drive.

You can download and try converters from the web - the finished mpeg will have the program name plastered on the screen, once purchase the program, the program name will go away. Just make sure your convereter can handle quicktime and that the final product will be in mpeg format. Some early DVD players will not run the new mpeg4 format.

Try Nero 8, good program with some cool plug-ins,

I think that you can download a free 30 day trial version, Best Buy sell it for about $100

I agree with JohnMD, Nero is tops for burning, converting and editing.
