Burning a WMV to DVD help please

It's a friends parents 50th Wedding Anniversary at weekend and as a surprise, their family in Ireland have recorded a family video wishing them congratulations etc.

I've been sent the file via email, which I had to download from megaupload.com (or something similar) and have saved it to my video folder.

I've tried burning it onto a DVD but only the audio is playing with no picture.

I've tried to make a DVD Video in Nero but each time I select the video to add, it goes back to the home screen asking what I want to do.

Can anyone see where I am going wrong?

I am using DVD+R discs if that helps.

Thanks

(Just on my way out now, will check replies when I get back :D)

    What do you want the final DVD to be played on? A PC or DVD player?

    Use a program such as DVDflick.

    Yes, DVDflick is great and free. Then just burn the VIDEO_TS folder to DVD.
    Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.
