I can create a movie in Movie Maker but my trouble starts when I try to
publish it. I choose DVD and get a message saying that Movie Maker is
closing and DVD Maker is opening. Okay so good, so far. Then DVD crashes and
I get a message saying the problem is caused by a nero component with a link
to update the file. When you get to the Nero site they want you to upgrade
to Version 8!! Is it just me or is it crazy to send money to Nero to get a
Microsoft product working??? The actual file apparently that needs updating
is Nero Shared Multimedia Components. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for any help.

I have used Vista MM and DVD maker numeorus times in my small business for
presentations and to give promo info to clients. I even use those two
software packages for home videos and slide shows, and emailing short movies
to friends and clients. They work perfectly (except for the fact that MM and
DVD Maker have problems dealing with mp3 formated audio.)

Yes, you're right, it sounds crazy to me to update a Nero product in order
to make Vista MM or DVD maker to work.

What's the fault bucket data--

for that crash?

It sounds like "somehow" a buggy old version of a Nero filter got installed.
This is fairly common with a variety of shoddy codec packs that pirate
Nero's work badly. You can also just remove that codec codec pack or that
Nero filter.

You would have to update Nero here because there's a bogus old crashing Nero
codec installed to the system.

The multimedia stacks generally let everyone plug in, so when ApplicationQ
wants to work, you hopefully don't have a broken codec from VendorX
installed. In this case, Dennis did and needed to update it so that the
multimedia stack wasn't polluted.
