I have successfully created my story in PhotoStory 3. I then imported into
Movie Maker. I saved it as Av file. I then used TMPGEnc to convert it to a
MPEG1 file. I then burned it to a CD by just using the copy to cd function
on my computer. The movie looks great! It plays great on my computer. It
plays great on my TV until about half way through then it freezes up (and
starts and freezes, etc).

The file has about 90 pictures and audio. It is 149 MB.

Any help would be appreciated. Last week I had never used either of these
programs. I have learned a lot (Thanks Papa) and have come too far to give
up! I need this for a Christmas gift. Thanks so much.

Thanks Debbie,

Did you make the CD by copying the file to a data CD? or use disc-making
software?

I tried using VCD Easy but the DVD player didn't recognize the disc. Same
disc that I am using to copy from data file. I made the CD by just copying
the data file. Today I deleted files from my hard drive and increased my
virtual memory thinking that would help. No luck. I have 60651MB virtual
memory available and 58.4 GB available on the hard drive.I have defragged
and done disk cleanup. I still have the same problem. Any other
suggestions? What about the Windows Media Encoder? Would that help? I
really appreciate your help. I would never have gotten this far without
your website.
