Hi Ronda, P

Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

(a) edition of windows vista you run on the computer?

(b) how exactly you are trying to burn the DVD? What file format you are using?

I firstly you suggests to save the project to your computer, and then try to burn on a DVD at a slower burning speed.

Choose a speed slower burn to your DVD recorder as follows:

1. return to the page Add images and videos on the DVD and then click on Options.

2. in the DVD burning speed box, select medium or slow.

    Just a couple of alternatives... I think that PowerPoint can

    FWIW... If your project includes digital photos... you could
    import them into Windows DVD creation and create a DVD
    no need for other software.

    If you wanted a more polished slideshow with careful motion
    effects and transitions, you can create the slideshow in
    Windows Phioto Story 3 and save it in the WMV format...
    then import the WMV in DVD Maker.
