Save your movie to a CD

Published: August 8, 2006

After creating a movie in Windows Movie Maker, you can share it with your family and friends in a variety of formats. One of the most popular media for sharing movies (and many other types of files on your computer) is the CD. In just a few steps, you can save or burn a Movie Maker project to a CD using a CD burner connected to your computer.

Before you begin, make sure to save your movie to the hard disk on your computer for safekeeping.

To save your movie to a CD

1.	Open your project in Movie Maker.
2.	Insert a blank, recordable CD into your CD burner.
3.	In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to CD.
4.	The Save Movie Wizard opens. On the Saved Movie File page, type a name for your movie. Then click Next.
5.	On the Movie Setting page, click Next.
6.	Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes, and then ejects your CD. If you don’t want to make another copy, click Finish. If you do want to make another copy, insert a new blank, recordable CD, select the Save this movie to another recordable CD check box, and click Next. Then return to step 4.

You can watch your movie by inserting the CD into a DVD player or the CD drive on your computer. Be sure to label the CD with a permanent marker. If the quality is not acceptable or your DVD player cannot play the CD, you can save your movie to a DVD instead.
