==================================
Scroll down for info.....

Vista Basic does not include Windows DVD Maker.
You will need to purchase DVD Aurthoring software
or try some of the freebie downloads.

First you need to Publish your Movie Maker project
in a movie format...wmv, or .avi.

Windows Vista -
Publish a movie in

Here's a freebie DVD creator that might be worth a try:

DVD Flick
http://www.dvdflick.net/

Be sure to read the Guide:
http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php

If you have problems downloading DVD Flick...
try the following direct link:

http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...up_1.3.0.4.exe

Save the file to a folder on your hard drive and
install from there.

Burn Any PC Video Format into DVD

To create a basic Video DVD that should play in a free
standing DVD player...try the following...

Good luck.

First...read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize yourself
with the program.

Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your burner.

If your computer's Autoplay window opens....just close it.

Click the Project Settings button and go to...Video /
Target format...residents of USA...choose...NTSC /
Accept.

Left click the Add title button and browse to your
Movie Clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.

You can arrange them by selecting one and then use
the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Left click the Create DVD button / OK / Yes / Yes.

Wait while the DVD is created.

When the text "Finished Successfully" appears you
may close DVD Flick. Now you can eject your DVD
and play it in your DVD player.

At some point you may wish to purchase more
advanced software like Nero, Roxio, Ulead, etc...but
at least this is a start.
