Movie Maker??? Unless you can give us something to work on, I fear, you may not get any useful response. How could anyone guess what may be wrong with your system or files?

I have ran the same video through DVD MovieMaker and it ran fine until is crashed, now the same tape will not recorded as it say that the brordcast signal is protected and can only be viewed and not recorded. I have rang Ulead up my self and they inform me that this software is full of bugs and that i need DVD MovieMaker 4.
Everything was going fine and i had done 1 disck straight away now i get so fare and it will crash time and time again and with the same tape in it will say braodcast signal is protected and can not be recorded and yet i was just doing the dam thing.

Movie Maker is a Microsoft program. The Ulead program is called DVD Movie Factory. :D Before you spend the money on upgrade that might help, download the free-trial version of Movie Factory 4.

Are you capturing from a VHS tape?

Commercial VHS tapes have Macrovision copy protection. (You can get a device, such as The Clarifier to kill the Macrovision signal.)

Sometimes homemade (or old) tapes have a poor quality, or a glitch that gets interpreted as Macrovision by the capture device. Since you've copied this tape before, I suspect this is the problem. A different VCR might help.

Note that it is the capture hardware that has a circuit to detect the Macrovision signal. It's NOT the software... The hardware is sending a message to the software.
