Hi All

My father in law is bending my ear and this may be a good time to get a few brownie points

He is using windows movie maker (yuk) to convert a video of a wedding to a vcd or an svcd. He only has a normal cdrw drive. He has edited the video and saved it as a .wmv file (the only option in movie maker) Windows movie maker will not see his cdrw drive and burn direct as its to old. I advised him to get a copy of tmpgenvv2 to try and convert but it does not seem to work. It wont see .wmv as a file that can be opened.

I now throw myself down on my knees and beg for your asistance

How can I take my father in law over the steps needed so he has a svcd or vcd that will play on any computer or standalone dvd drive.

The current video size after making the movie is 680mb. He has bags of free hdd space to convert - I know this as I had to fit the new hard drive at 7:00 last sunday

Please help me

Thanks Guys
