Thank you for the response Mike.

So I tried a smaller WMV file (3.7MB) It worked perfectly. That's ashame but
at least productive. I've got some really cool video from television to
share with friends.

The Two WMV files I want to make into DVD Video is only 872MB combined - on
a DVD.

again thank you for your response. It prompted me to burn a LITTLE file and
it worked just fine. So what is the problem with decent file sized? Someone?

Terry
