Or you could use the following software which is compatible with windoze seven. SOFTWARE STEP BY STEP

CPU usage is at 8-10 percent. I looked at Norton briefly and didn't see any activity going on...how do I go in and exclude a program from it? it is Norton Systemworks basic edition, just renewed (online subscription). I'm on Windows XP. WME has been "encoding the first pass" since last night. I'm assuming I did everything right, since there were no instructions for newbies of WME. I selected my MPG file, selected WMV as the output type, DVD quality for video, and CD quality for audio. The choices did say "VBR" or "CBR" which I didn't know the difference of...so I chose CBR.

I'll try and get you started here. See link for DEMO, says Vista, ok for Win 7 too. All the music on the PC should work on the Laptop without issue. To transfer / move the music from PC to Laptop, it's the same as moving any file. Several ways to go about it. Move it to a flash drive, burn it to a cd, or move it to a USB external drive. The music on the PC is in a folder on the hard drive usually in the My Music folder. That's the folder you would move to the flash drive, or external drive, hook the flash drive or external drive to the new computer and copy / drag the files / folder to the Laptop My Music folder. The demo should cover getting what music into Movie Maker using the import function or dragging. When you listen to music on the PC, what program plays it, Itunes, Windows Media Player, other?

I burn Windows Movie Maker projects to DVD all the time. Under Step 3, I choose: SAVE TO MY COMPTUER. In the next window I type in the title of the movie and select it to save under MY VIDEOS. In the next window (MOVIE SETTINGS) I choose OTHER SETTINGS, and I select HIGH QUALITY (NTSC). After the movie has saved, I open up Roxio's DVD builder. I am using an older version, so it may be called something else in your version. I then import the Windows Movie Maker video file and add that to the DVD. You can add more than one WMM project to the DVD or just the one you have. I can answer any other questions if this doesn't make sense.
