Windows Movie Maker recognized that I had a writeable CD, but it would not
recognize a writeable DVD.  My daughter had to put together a movie for school.
 She used MovieMaker, since it was already on the XP machine.  But, we had to
write the "DVD" to an image file, and use another program to it onto the DVD.
