Windows Movie Maker Question

CrazyKell · 02-13-2009, 03:19 PM

I made a movie on my computer. I'd like to show it through my DVD player on the TV.

How do I do it?

I burned it to a CD and when I put it in the DVD player it says "this type of disc cannot be played".

HELP!

Do you have a DVD burner? Movie Maker is pretty straight forward.

are you sure yours DVD player supports VCD?

I don't have a clue what this DVD player supports.

I burned it onto a CD and when it plays on the DVD player it only plays the music with the movie....not the actual movie.

Use Nero Showtime, does all the conversion for you.

And if I don't have Nero? Can I download it for free?

Not legally, but yeah.

Did you try burning it to a blank dvd instead?

CrazyKell · 02-13-2009, 04:26 PM

Yeah I tried that and it didn't work.

I think I know what I have to do now. I have to convert the files using this certain program....then I have to burn the DVD using that. I'm not sure though. I'll figure itout.

CrazyKell · 02-13-2009, 04:56 PM

Is there a way to hook my laptop up to my TV?

That would be a whole lot easier!
