Problems exporting the edited file update

ive had to save the file as .avi tofit to dvd as .mov was too large, but it now turns out my dvd player on the laptop has stopped working so i have to try an burn it in magee. The trailer has been edited in premier along with the movie, the next step is getting them onto dvd using nero to make a dvd menu screen.

Problems exporting the edited file
