Windows DVD Maker

each time i try to burn a dvd my dvd maker takes all day to burn it ... quite literally and then by the time it reaches around 70-80% it zooms to 99.9% spits out the dvd and says theres an error..first i thought it was my dvds but even after changing them the same thing is happeninig...anyone got any idea what's going on with it?

What is the error message exactly?

Have you had success before burning a DVD?

What kind of system are you using?  Have you checked and installed any new updates for it lately?

I used to get this error fairly frequently and I followed all the usual advice by using k-lite or Vista codecs pack..I also unchecked various filters in Windows Movie Maker compatibility tab but the only thing that fixed the problem for me was to ditch codec packs and use individual filters and codecs.  ffdshow, divx, xvid and haali have sorted it all out :)
