Vista - Move Maker file to DVD Maker isnt holding scenes

Hello,

I imported a video from my camcorder, cut up the movie into scenes by date
so you can just jump to the next date when watching the DVD. I then publish
to DVD which opens up Windows DVD Maker. Thats fine but I noticed that it's
not retaining the scenes how i cut them up. In movie maker I have 20 scenes,
when it imports to DVD maker it seems to re cut them in its own order and
there are only about 12 and none of them are my cuts. Is it possible to
retain my exact storyboard/timeline cut up that I made in movie make to
transfer to DVD Maker?

Thanks!

Just use MovieMaker to publish it as a movie (WMV, I think). Then burn that
movie to a DVD...

Do you mean within Movie Maker click "publish" and then click "DVD". I am
then asked to open Windows DVD Maker. The file imports just fine but it
doesnt include the scenes that i cut up in Movie Maker. Am i doing something
wrong? i dont know why it wouldnt automatically export all my changes to my
movie make project to dvd maker.

Publish, but not to DVD...publish it to a file on your hard drive. Then run
the DVD software separately to burn that video file to the DVD...

Ive tried that and it still didnt work. DVD Maker still ignored my scenes.
