Using windows movie maker, then publishing the project to burn to DVD in "DVD
maker", at the encoding stage the process doesn't go past 20.4% I also at one
stage had an error message saying "catastrophic failure" can anyone help?

I'm seeing exactly the same thing, only I get to 32% before it fails! I'm
working with Vista 32 Ultimate. Any suggestions?

I've had problems like that but only with files made with windows movie
maker, other files work fine. Until I find a more permanent solution( thats
what I'm looking for now) I recomvert the files with another video converter
and they work fine. The one I'm using I got at
http://www.protectedsoft.com/download.php
Its a freeware download and I've used it for a while now with no problems.
I hope it works for you guys.

None of you are alone - I have been whingeing for days to Dell who sold
me an Inspiron Laptopn about exactly the same problem with Windows DVD
maker. I was so excited that Moviemaker now allowed you to burn DVD's
(Office 2003 did not, which was an incredibly STUPID bit of programming)
and then plummeted to the depths of despair with each failed attempt at
burning the DVD, getting to 16-20% encoded each time. Once, once only, I
managed to get the whole thing done only to find the completed DVD had
large holes with no data at all in it!!!

I even tried transferring to another computer running Adobe editor
which allows you to burn DVD's and which I have used succesfully in the
past, but Office 2003 doesn't recognized WSAMM files created with Office
2007. Makes you want to scream. I will try the converter file suggested
on this post.

Further to the suggestions above- I treid downlaoding the video
converter and DVD making software from protectedsoft.com however the
programme does not recognize the Movie maker file - ie it tell sme there
is nothing on the timeline (Osec). I tried downloading the Vista codecs
as suggested but that made no difference.

Even more frustrating, the Windows DVDmaker help suggested I check that
my edited project runs on Windows Media Player...but that programme
doesn't recognize the MSWMM extension. Can you believe it?

Any one help?
