Software for burning DVDs

[Sploosh]

Hi all. I have shot some holiday video footage, and edited it all fine with "Movie Maker". Now I want to burn the finished product onto a DVD. But the software already installed on my crappy laptop gets to about 20% and then fails. It used to work ok, but in the last year or so, nothing. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised, with a 2 and 1/2 year old crappy ASUS laptop running vista. But anyway...

Can anyone recommend very simple, very easy to use software? All I need to do is burn to a DVD... are there any free programmes that you can recommend, that I could d/l and use? If not, and I actually have to spend money on something, what suggestions do you have?

DVD Flick. Free, easy, has editable menus if you want them.

What about copying illegally, programme CD/DVD's live MSOFFICE...?

Thanks for that suggestion...shall check it out.

Is it the case that if I have used movie maker to edit a video, but then don't use the associated DVD burner (because the crappy thing doesn't work), I'm going to have to re-edit the files?

Obviously, I'd rather just copy the edited movie maker files into the new DVD burn programme, but I could only find a small 1.4Mb file in movie maker, rather than the whole edited file (which would probably be about 2 Gb perhaps...)

I'd suggest getting a very highly specc'd machine if you're going to start getting into video editting otherwise it may be a constant source of frustration no matter what software you use.

PS Nothing wrong with ASUS, great machines!
