My friend's 18th birthday is approaching so I decided to make her a movie
with lots of pictures and videos of us. The entire thing is 1,709kb (so just
over a MB). I wanted to burn it to a dvd but when I tried my standard dvd
burning program, the file wouldn't even come up due to it's formatting. When
I tried burning through movie maker, it appeared to only work with CDs, but I
tried anyway. I left for a bit and returned and it said it would take over
12,000 minutes to complete (and the minutes were still rising.) I cancelled
it and tried a cd and got the same results.

Any suggestions?

I think that 1,709kb file is the project file, not the entire project...

Have you been able to save it to your computer in any format? File > Save
Movie > Save as >

You can play around with those settings to get the file down to a manageable
size.

How many pictures and how many minutes?

Computer specs?

to make a dvd you need to save the movie as a dv-avi file

then import it into your dvd authoring software, MM will not do this bit.
You may nero or somthing similar already.
