I am new to making DVDs, etc. I have made a DVD and it worked just fine. For my next one, when the option of "Video CD" presented itself, it seemed like a better, cheaper idea (!), so I selected this option. I noted that building the slide/video/music show used all the same tools as for my DVD project. My Panasonic DVD player is only two years old so I figured it could read it.

Anyway, after hours of loading almost 200 slides/videos, I hit "burn" and it worked just fine. But the CD won't read in my DVD player. In my new DVD drive, it only says that "reading slides" is an option.  NUTS!

I even tried saving the image file, but it saves a "C2D" file and not an "ISO" file so it still won't let me burn it to a DVD.

So, my question is....can I REsave this project somehow as a DVD project? I hate to think that I have to redo the entire thing when all the information is sitting right in front of my in DVD builder and it previews just fine.

Any help out there?!!

Thanks much.

DVD's are $0.45 each.  How cheap do you want to go??

Ha! Good point. I won't make the mistake again. Anyway, not only that but I figured out the answer to my own question. I just had to "change project type" in the File menu. (Whew! Sure beats having to do all that  work over.)

I am glad that you did.  It is easy to change the project type in this version.  The quality of the DVD movie will be far superior to burning it to a CD.
