I purchased a new computer my intention was to take all my home movies and make dvd's. I have captured and made great home movies on Windows Movie Maker. Now trying get those movies on DVD is a real headache for me. I have Nero Express 6, I get the following error messages Unexpected file format with avi and no compatable file found with movie maker file.

Thank you in advance for any help possible.

You and millions of others.

I offer no cure for Nero's issues. You deal with them.

Here I use Ulead without such a headache. Lesson? Try something else.

And Microsoft's Movie Maker format is "proprietary". I can't use that.

You could also try Roxio's package. Its DVD Creator

can read AVI, mpeg, and a variety of other formats. I don't know if it can handle Win Movie Maker. Check Roxio's web site. I tried and dropped Nero. You have to know too much about it to use it.
