DVD Maker shuts down abruptly

I made a project using Movie Maker, and am trying to burn it to DVD. I add
the item I want to burn which appears on the list ust fine. Then I click
next to move to the next phase of burning the DVD (the part where you create
the DVD menu), and I get a message that "Windows DVD Maker has stopped
working." Then DVD Maker restarts. I am trying to burn edited avi video
from my camcorder. Any suggestions? All I want to do is edit some
camcoreder video and burn it to a DVD, but it appears that Vista does not
allow one to do this.
