Vista - Burning a DVD from a video in Movie Maker

I have sucessfully transferred my movie from my Everio G Hard Drive Camcorder
to Movie Maker and it plays there in it's entirety and accurately, however,
when I try to publish it to a DVD and it moves to the DVD Maker and I follow
the prompts to burn a DVD and get to the preview point the video skips about
and there is no audio. Once I tried to go ahead and burn it and when I
played the DVD on my DVD player it had the same results.

What am I doing wrong? Please, can anyone help me? I wanted to send it to
my grandson for CHristmas, it's his grandparents reading Christmas books to
him. I guess he won't get it this Christmas!!

I look forward to your help!
