Decreasing the size of movie for Windows Movie Maker?

Question

I put together a slide-show and am using Windows Movie Maker to burn it to a DVD. Right now the slide-show is 45 minutes long and it says it will take about 2 hours to burn it on a DVD. Is there anyway I can decrease the file size of the slide-show so it won't take so long to burn it onto DVD, or is this just how long it will take for a slide-show that long to burn?

Answer 1

You can compress the file using a program such as RAD Tools

However this will reduce the quality of the video, I'd recommend just letting it burn and wait, usually programs over-estimate how long processes will take so it may be less.
