Good info, thanks for sharing it. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I never even think of doing a multi-session burn. :)

IF you have the original file from Movie Maker - you can put that into Roxio. I know there are several different versions of "Roxio" - but this is how I do it on mine. I open up DVD Builder - and add the "movie". I take out the Roxio intro - drives me nuts, LOL THen I burn the "Movie Maker" slideshow to DVD. WOrks great! I love using Movie Maker - the only drawback is that it doesn't burn to DVD. WHen I create the Movie Maker project, in step 3 - Save To Computer - I choose "Other Settings" - High Quality Video (NTSC) - then I burn onto DVD, that saved project using Roxio. Hope this is clear - LOL! I am not sure it makes any sense to anyone but me?

Thanks for the suggestions. Downloaded ImgBurn at MajorGeeks. It took 30 min. to burn what Win7 DVD Maker took 2 hours to do. No wonder it had a high rating. Did have to type in folder paths. Rebooted to try the new DVD. And waited, and waited, for the directory to appear. Explorer had froze and had to use Task Manager to exit. (same problem with the DVD burned with WinDVDMaker) So my problem semms to be the DVD drive in this laptop. It plays a movie A-OK. But a DVD full of .jpg files it does not like???? (HP Pavilion dv4-2153d Notebook). Guess I need to try a CD and see if less content makes a difference?

Elaine, I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I have attached a link so you may download newer firmware. 2.81 is from 2/25/05. 2.03E is the newest version. NECND6500A-V203E.zip is the file you want. Unzip and run the .exe file. DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER WHILE THE BURNER IS BEING FLASHED. Additionally, if you are using philips media, dump them. The media is not good. Stick with TDK, Maxell, Taiyo Yuden, or Ritek RiData (my personal favorite). What brand of media are you trying to use? Let me know how you do. Here is a link that might be useful: 6500A Firmware
