I just tried this on my PC ( why I came here to investigate)
I chose burn jpegs as a movie - to Cd ( DVD was also an option)
I did notice the phrasing of the WMM script I chose:
" Burn to recordable CD ".

It creates the CD and when I open the CD I see that it is not "closed". It
is left - recordable. Not in DVD format . It DID create a WMV file and a
HIGHMAT folder.
In Windows explorer I see total size = 680mb, free = 290mb
I can play the wmv file, but I can't pop into DVD player in living room - I
get an error. In PC format - not DVD player format.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831240 gets me:
"By using the new HighMAT extension, you can create easy-to-use HighMAT CDs
of digital photos, music, and videos. The CDs are optimized for easy viewing
and for sharing on CD and DVD players that use the HighMAT logo."
SO it's probably that MY DVD player doesn't support HIGHMAT format.
