Chari, the deal is that I'm missing one, or more, steps (authoring????) on the road to burning. At this point all I have are several avi files and an mpg file---see the attached screenshot. These files represent several attempts to get this to work. At least the mpg file runs on my computer in Windows Media Player. I'm sure I need to run this file through some process to turn it into a form suitable for burning a DVD that will play on a t.v.---so far, I'm finding NOTHING in PS8 that'll do this--- Any more ideas?
