Saving as DV AVI file

Hi everyone

I'm a little confused
I was wanting to create a VCD with movies I had made accessible via a menu
system (like special features on a DVD you hire or what Ulead DVD Picture
Show 2 produces)


When I save from MM2 as a Windows Video Audio File, well the new photo story
wont accept the video files & allow me to add them.

Some kind person in this newsgroup suggested I save a DV AVI, which I assume
will work- (if I use Ulead DVD Picture Show 2) - Anyway - the problem is
this : Each minute of DV AVI is something like 178 megs - so how could I
fit
anymore than say 3 to 4 mins on a CD even if this process is to work?

I assume there is a very easy work around that I'm just not picking up on.

Any help you can offer will be very, very appreciated.

Have a good day :-)

The new version of Photo Story burns VCDs directly, but it doesn't use video
files as input. It uses still pictures and music.

A DV-AVI file is a video file. I just used Photo Story 2 to check it again.
It produces a movie file, but I didn't see any features to use it with
existing video files as inputs.

For existing video files, you need to convert them into MPEG1 files and use
other software to burn the VCD. See the CD Burning section of my website.
