I have a Windows Media Audio Video File that I would like to make a DVD of.
Hunh, I expected at least two other posters to demand screen shots before they'd decide whether or not to answer your question...Cut-Throat said:I have a Windows Media Audio Video File that I would like to make a DVD of.

You need a product such as sonic dvd creator or the nero dvd maker software. That will take in your windows media file and press it to dvd, allowing you to create dvd menu's and so forth. Figure for a decent powered machine, about one hour of transcoding per 15-20 minutes of video. Then 5-20 minutes to burn depending on the speed of your dvd burner.
If this is on your sony laptop, it should have come with a dvd authoring package.
