Re: DVD Maker Won't Burn WMV files...

No idea what's going on.

I burned 4 WMV files ranging in size from 13-56MB with no problenm.
When I burned 5 WMV files, each less than 250MB I had problems.

All the WMV files were produced by Windows Movie Maker, came from the same
folder on disk. I've burned them to DVD subsequently as files rather than
DVD-video, and they play fine on other devices.
