See, when you burn things, you might have a or several files that will take up 50 meg, lets say music files. When you burn those to a disk using like media player, it doesn't just put the files on the disk. It breaks them down to a code that takes up more space, but can be read faster by CD or DVD players, so you'll have to split it more probably depending on the quality you set it at, your using a DVD right?

why not burn it to a DVD using Nero or any other CD/DVD burning software .. WMP is not really up to that sort of stuff .. it's OK for decoding your audio files to wma or mp3 .. but i wouldn't think it would do much more .. I certainly wouldn't ask it too .. it might try to extract the audio from the mpeg and leave you without video ..
far better you use a professional burning tool ..

l was able to burn it to a dvd using roxio the sound and picture is fine but when someone moves fast there seems to be a slight blur.

first of all, roxio sucks, use nero, its a lot easier than roxio and takes less memory than roxio.
