Microsoft DVD Maker can not burn to image file.

I spent a long time working on a multi-disk, Microsoft Movie Maker project
only to find that I need to use another program to produce the type of DVD
that I want. It is critical that I get an MPEG-2 file from Movie Maker so
that I don't lose any quality. The only way to do that is to send the
project to DVD Maker and burn directly to DVD. That would be a waste of
disks and time. I know that virtual DVD writers are available for
non-Windows OS. There's got to be one for Vista.

On top of that, I actual prefer doing my editing in Movie Maker instead of
the other products I have tried. But Movie Maker does not directly produce
MPEG-2 output and DVD Maker is a brain-dead toy.
