    When you say "changed DVDs" what do you mean? From -R to +R? Size?

    Is you movie to big to fit onto the DVD?

    Hi
    Are you trying to make a DVD that will play with a DVD player to watch on your TV?

    Yes please.

    OK
    If those files that you've edited with Windows Movie Maker are files such as 'wmv' then you need to 'author' them to make a DVD first.
    Use a program such as DVD Flick from here:- http://www.dvdflick.net/
