Problem is when you try to burn a large movie to the DVD the Picture Motion Browser software crashes. Sony tech's tell me that the software is only designed to work reliably with movies up to 10MB. They said it will burn movies up to 200MB but not reliably.

My question to all you is....what aftermarket software is out there that I can get to burn large videos to DVD's. Our xmas day video i a 2.2 GB file. I tried using the Roxio software that came with my Dell but it crashes on the large file too.

The sony tech told me to use windows movie maker to basically hack up the movie into smaller parts and burn the smaller parts to the dvds....what the hell kind of an answer is that?!?!!?

any and all help is appreciated


Have you tried Divx or Nero? I also have Roxio, and it has worked fine for me. Also, if that doesn't work, maybe try changing the format of the video to a jpeg, wmv, or avi (if its not already an avi file.) Also, and mp4 might help. I believe tat is the same format that ipods use to condense large video files. Hope this helps.....Jamie
