[b]I have tried many times to burn a dvd on roxio from video clips from my canon sd1000 camera, I get audio but the video does not move from standing picture, shaking also. I can burn using windows media player no problem, but I want to use My DVD. the disk appears to be overfilled, no free space left where should be. The dvd I am using is Verbatim 4.7GB. Hope somebody here can help, can't seem to find anything in Roxio support files.

I am using  Toshiba laptop running windows vista ultimate-AMD Turion 64 X2 -2048MB DDR2 SDRAM 250 GB HDD with ATI Radeon X1200 - Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K17LF ATA Devise

There are several run-on thoughts in your post so I'm going to ask questions and make a few statements.  

Since that camera is a digital still camera, I assume that it has the ability to take a minute or so of video per file.  That camera may use use a  proprietary format so perhaps,  the program does not support that video. One such format is a motion jpeg (mjpeg).  The best bet is to use the program that came with the camera or (if it worked)  Movie Maker to convert it to a mpg2 or compatible avi file and then put it into Video Wave to do any editing.  

You can get only about one hour of best quality video on a single sided DVD; if you are trying to put more, then the quality has to be reduced.  In My DVD select best quality and then encode to a ISO file and then use Copy and Convert or Creator Classic to put it on a disc

How are you getting the video onto your computer?  When you do, what is the extension of the video file?

Edit: I just found the information that confirmed that the format is motion jpeg so Video Wave or My DVD will not handle it.  As I suggested above use the program that came with the camera or Movie Maker to convert it to a mpg2 or compatible AVI file.

I can take the sd card from the camera and copy to the computer. the files come in AVI format and are only a minuet or so long.  I dor't have any trouble burning using windows media but I cannot add introduction or edit the video that is why I wanted to use this program.

As I stated, use the canon program (ZoomBrowser EX) or Windows Movie Maker program to export (convert) the file to a mpg2 file and then use that file in VideoWave to do any editing and then set up your menus and burn in My DVD.

You cannot use the mjpeg file in the Roxio program without the conversion.

Thank you will try that.
