How To Burn Your Photostory onto a CD

OK, you've finished your story. Now, how do you get it off your computer and onto a CD? It's easy ...

  1. Make sure that you have actually generated the movie in Photostory. Your PROJECT file has the extension .wp3 and has an icon that looks like this: This is NOT the file you want to burn onto a CD. You want the actual MOVIE file that you generated from your project at the end of Photostory. The file you want to move to a CD is a .wmv file and has this icon:. You should have two files with the same names but different extensions when you finish:

mystory.wp3

mystory.wmv
  1. Put a blank CD in the CD drive. Now, on your desktop, double-click on "My Computer". Navigate to the folder where you have stored your movie and open that folder. You should see mystory.wmv. Move that window over to the right side of your screen to make room for a second window.
  2. Now double-click on "My Computer" again. Then double-click on the CD-ROM drive (usually drive D).
  3. Drag and drop the mystory.wmv file to the CD-Rom drive.
  4. On the left side of the window, click on the menu item that says "Write these files to CD." Bingo! You're done.
