How can I burn my project to a CD or DVD?

by BaileySue Oct 10, 2007 1:02AM PDT

I had absolutely NO trouble making my "movie" - which consists of jpeg photos set to music and I used several labels/titles in my project. It looks great!

But I want to burn it to a DVD or CD that will play in a standard DVD player attached to a TV.

I found a great set of instructions here:

I'm using XP and tried to do my burning via Roxio Easy Media Creator/7 Basic DVD Home (the instructions, above, are for Version . It takes forever to burn the project, so I started it up and went to bed. When I got up, the burn had failed during part 2 of 6.

Does anybody else use Roxio to burn Windows Movie Maker projects to DVD, and does it work with the "basic" edition of Roxio?

Any recommendations on how to get my fantastic (IMO) project burned to a DVD?

Thanks in advance!
