Movie Maker

I have Windows Vista Home Basic on my computer which is under a year old. I
just downloaded my pictures and used Movie Maker to make a nice movie. I
burned it on a CD, works great in my computer drive, but when I try to play
it in my DVD player, nothing happens. What could be wrong? Can I not burn
DVD's in my computer with Vista Home Basic? Help - I'm frustrated.

Is there another way to save it to the computer and then burn it to a CD so
that it will play on the DVD player??

Thanks.

Katie,

The Home Basic system doesn't include software to make and burn DVDs....
unless it's added by the computer manufacturer.

My Toshiba Vista Home Basic laptop doesn't have a DVD burner, but it came
with ULead's DVD Factory which can make the files for a DVD on the hard
drive. I can copy the files to another computer that has a DVD burner to
finish the process.

So it depends on if you have a DVD burner, and what software the computer
maker put on it.
