Using Movie Maker to make dvds

[jimflint1]

I made a slide show on Windows Movie Maker, and currently I have no DVD burner hooked up on my computer. I was thinking I could copy it to a flash drive, then bring it up on another computer and burn it to a dvd. Will this work, and am I missing any details that you can think of in order to get it to work? I need to know ASAP because it's for a wedding dinner on Thursday.

I don't use Windows  Movie Maker but if you check in their Help Files to see if you can save a movie to file instead of burning it than this would work....all you would need to then do is use WMM on another machine to burn and finalise it. If there is not an option to save it to a file then you may be out of luck.

I can save it to a file with a .wmv extension. Will this work?

Yes. No problem.

I save my movies as wmv files then I use DVD Flick (free) to either burn it directly to a disk or in your case, save it as an ISO file. You can get if off to a flash drive if your flash drive is  4gb or more and then burn the image to a DVD on another machine. DVD Flick encodes the wmv file so that it automatically plays when you insert the disk in a DVD player. I've been messing around with making movies since Jan./08 and I have found this to be the best method for making a quality movie.

it may be easier to save it as a wmv file and use windows movie maker on a computer with a dvd drive to finalize the movie

...and make sure, the other computer has Vista, if you want to use WMM to burn DVDs.
