Default Convert windows movie file. HELP!!

My girlfriend made a slideshow in windows movie maker for her grandparents as a christmas present. Last night I got it saved to a dvd using the publish movie setting but when I tried to play it in the dvd player it wouldnt work. Is there a program out there that will convert the movie maker file into a format a dvd player can read?

Use Photo Story 3. It's MUCH easier. Then, when you've made all the pictures it will convert it to a .WMV format which Windows will burn to a DVD no problem.

Ill keep that in mind for next time, bad news is that this is for Christmas Eve tonight! :0 so no time to redo it in a different program. I realized that WMM will let you save the movie to your computer as a NTS DVD-I (?) file then burn it using roxio or another program. I just worried if its going to burn right because the file said it was gonn be 8gigs! Hopefully Roxio will compress it.
