Are the cammy video’s in AVI or wmv?..If one or the other you’ll need to convert them to DVD format…Try DVDFlick, ConvertxToDVD etc…

Windows Movie Maker outputs as either .wmv files or DV avi files. Neither play on most dvd players.

If you ran the results through Nero Vision to make them into dvd-video, then you would have something that would play on a stand alone player. You could also use the programs mentioned by t0nee1.

Windows DVD Maker can also produce a finished dvd for you from the files you get from Windows Movie Maker.

I may be confused, but if you’re using rewriteable discs, they won’t play in a dvd player, as far as I know. I agree with the last post. Nero should transcode it for you nicely.
