Your comment seems sort of self-contradictory... Are you recording to a
blank DVD disc or CD-V (Video CD) disc. The capacity difference is huge!

Next, how much RAM and free (Defragmented! You did defrag your editing
disc volume first before you ever started the project, didn't you???) disc
space
are you using? As you probably know, video editing likes a lot of wide open
elbow room on hard disk for every minute of A/V you're recording, editing,
finalizing.
If your finalized program file is badly fragmented on hard disk, during the
burn
to optical disk function, it might get lost, or hang up, or bump into a bad
unreadable disk sector somewhere in the middle of the read/write.

dvd. it is not a question of space as before I start recording it says the
movie is 378mb and the capacity available on odisk is 4.8 GB.

Thank you to all that replied. Microsoft helped and solved the problem by
telling me to change the "best fit for recordable cd (recommended)" option to
another option under "show more options" and "other settings".

Thanks

Either your terminology is wrong or Microsoft is giving you bad advise.
If you are clicking "Save to DVD" then the problem was only your terminology
and you should be fine.
If you are clicking "Save to CD" and using a DVD that won't work.
If you don't even have a "Save to DVD" option then you need to read my reply
to your other post.
