i need to burn a movie i have downloaded asap

its 665 mb. and its almost 2 hours long i made it fit on Nero with 3.8 GB i think. i went through the whole process and it doesnt burn. it starts the burning process but it seems that it stops in the exact same location every single time in about th first minute of the movie. i tried doing it with Windows movie maker but its hella slow for it to add to the collections or whatever.

am i doing something wrong?

That's happened to me before, I think it was when I tried to burn something faster than the DVD could handle (burning at 24x w/a 8x disc, etc.)

Try burning to image recorder and change the destination with the "write to hard disk folder". It may be freezing while converting, it should take awhile to convert usually.

if i write to hard disk where would i do with the saved project or whatever?

i tried it with image writing it on there but it ALWAYS stops burning in the EXACT spot.

its wmv file and it has always stopped there and it always freezes after i try to burn it. i always have to ctrl+alt+delete and stop the NeroVission.exe proccess so it stops or else it doesnt stop

am i doing something wrong?

If you have a complete movie and the file is only 655 megabytes, it may be in the DivX format. That's the only format I know of that can be compressed like that to fit a entire movie on a CD-ROM. Nero may have a problem burning DivX files. could be another format, i dunno. but what you need to do is get the proper codec for the file you are trying to burn and convert to DVD format.
