I'm going to help this post move on down.

I assume you are using Windows XP? It will not burn directy from WMM to a DVD - but there is a way! I do it all the time. You will need some type of burning software, which, if you have a DVD burner, you probably already have. I use Roxio, but Nero is also a popular brand. I have also used Sonic with great sucess. Probably some free ones that could be downloaded if you don't have any of those. Here are the steps to be able to burn your slide show or video compilation to DVD. Under step 3. Finish Movie select SAVE TO MY COMPUTER. It will take you to the Save Movie Wizard 1.Saved Movie File Name your movie as desired - I rename it so I can tell it is not the original WMM file. I save it to My Videos - I think this is the default. You will need to locate it later when you want to burn it. 2 Movie Setting choose the 3rd option other settings ...on the drop down of that option choose High Quality NTSC It will then save it to your hard drive, in the My Videos file. It takes a little while, depending on the size of your project. You will also need some free space on your hard drive. I have attached a link to Windows Movie Maker forums - you can learn a lot reading over there! That is where I learned how to use WMM. Open up your burning software to create a DVD (not a data DVD, but a DVD project) - import the correct file from My Videos and burn away!

He who holds the remote is just now discovering the options we have. LOL We have the same model Sony BluRay at home and and on Maui. We have never investigated the various options until we tried the Netflix option yesterday. (Bomb.) We haven't cared because our library at home usually has whatever we are looking for (free) as soon as it's available anywhere. That's not the case here on Maui, and we are staying longer on Maui now. Here we can rent "Shane", "I Was A Male War Bride", etc. We got "Black Swan" from our branch of the Maui library -- one of the few 'recent' movies. We are also able to use our cable HD-DVR and watch recorded PBS programs at teatime. Our BluRay boxes date from about 2012. This one talks about "2010" options, but I assume that since they still show up on the menu, they are all still currently available. The Sony channel is offering "Truth" -- current movie we just rented from Redbox for $1.50/day. Looked like it was $6 to stream. Please walk me through the Amazon Prime membership as regards streaming movies. I see Amazon has at least one TV series we have been waiting to see: Season Three of "The Americans". It looks like it is $6 per episode. (Our library at home has this now, but we're not there, we're here!) We usually split a movie over two days of teatime. If we chose "The Americans" Episode One of Season Three, and had an Amazon Prime membership, how long would we have access to that episode? Could we *stop* and *resume*? (With Redbox, we just pay for two days, as time stops at midnight of the day you rent.) What's the cost to have Prime? (I very seldom buy anything online, so never looked into this -- certainly not for Hawaii, where shipping is a week, not days.) Thanks for helping guide two Seniors into the 21st Century.

DH and I have always loved going to the movies. Saw, and enjoyed, The Magnificent Seven last weekend. Sully the weekend before. Plan on seeing Snowden and The Girl on the Train next. Hell or High Water (Chris Pine) was a great movie. One of the best we've seen in awhile. Took 5yo DGS to see Pete's Dragon and we both enjoyed. Plan on taking him to see The Wild Life soon. If you haven't seen Florence Foster Jenkins you need to go! Looking forward to The Accountant, and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back in October.
