Coho, I posted on the other thread before I saw this. Several years ago, I purchased a computer that had Norton installed. I could not burn a DVD on that computer until after I removed every trace of Norton. When I called Tech support at Norton, they told me that it was a known problem, and sent me a refund check. That was many years ago however, and I wouldn't think they would still be having that problem.

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?

Just speaking from my own experience, not claiming a lot of computer knowledge. I have a Compaq Desktop with XP which came equiped with a CD/DVD reader/writer that went bad. I recently bought an HP dvd 1040 external CD/DVD reader writer. It connects via USB and is working great with the Sonic hardware that came installed on my computer. The Nero software that came with the burner wouldn't work. That may be because of the other software that was installed, as I said, I'm not super computer savvy and didn't want to open the case or do a lot of messing around with installed software which I was afraid would leave me worse off than before. The system I now have works great for backing up files, reading DVDs and reading and writing CDs. It takes only a minimal amt of space on my desk as it comes with a stand which allows the unit to be set on it's side.
