Windows Movie Maker

I have created a photoshow with Windows Movie Maker and burned
movie/photoshop to a CD-R. THE CD will not PLAY ON MY TV USING A DVD PLAYER.
1. Should I have burned the movie/photoshop to a DVD instead of a CD-R?

From AWalker - Thanks your your immediate help.

Yes, you need to burn it to a DVD to play it on your DVD player. You will
need a DVD burning program like Windows DVD Maker to do so.

Thanks for your immediate answer.
My photo show/slideshow should be burned to a DVD disc? What is Windows DVD
Maker and does Windows DVD maker come installed on new computers?

Not sure if I fully grasp your question, the part about
"movie/photoshop" throws me off. When I make a movie using windows movie
maker it asks where to publish it Hard drive, DVD,CD. Movie maker should
burn directly to the DVD burner without using Windows DVD maker, I
assumed that it would make a Video CD if one selected CD, I will have to
try it, (if I can find some CD media around). Do you have a DVD burner.
I have used Nero and Nero Express for burning all my videos in the past
and now that I have vista I would probably have to purchase a new
version to run on it ( fat chance!).For this reason, I don't know
whether there was a " Windows DVD maker " in XP but one did come with my
Vista Home premium. ( I don't think it comes with "basic" not sure). You
can play what is known as a "videoCD" using many types of DVD players. I
have not come across a dvd player lately that doesn't handle "videocd"
. Try exploring the CD after inserting it in your CD rom and see what
the file extension is of the movie. A video cd has ".dat " extention.
Don't know if this helps.

Windows DVD Maker is included in the Vista Home Premium and Ultimate
versions, not in the other Vista versions. And it's not included in XP....
and can't be added.

Most DVD players would not play random files put on a CD. You could likely
burn it as a VideoCD and get results, though.
