DVD maker video recording

I am trying to make a DVD video to send to family.
I have created all the clips successfully in WMV format using windows movie
maker.
I then made menus etc to make a decent looking DVD to send family some videos.
I am trying to record onto DVD R discs. THese work fine if I copy files for
back up using windows explorer.
when I try to creat the DVD, it goes through the encoding process, and once
completed (takes about 2hrs for 100mins of video), just as it starts
initialising the disk, it bombs out with just a message saying there was an
error with no further info.
I have tried using NERO instead, but still get an error. Since explorer
works OK on the same disks, it is clearly not a hardware / compatibility
problem. (the DVD writer is a LITEON 20X RW + RAM)
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards
DRBE

==============================
Maybe the length of the video is an issue.

The general rule is 1 hour of video per
4.7 GB DVD, unless you have software
that will compress it to fit.
