Create a CD is greyed out

I am using vs7 and I have already rendered my file to mpg and now I am ready to burn to cd, but it is not allowing me to select the Creat a CD under the Share menu. Any ideas? More than likely it is something I am doing wrong.

It sounds you are using an SE Basic version of the software. Those versions will not allow you to use the Create Disk option.

I agree that you probably have a heavily crippled version of VS7. Such versions are commonly bundled with a piece of hardware you bought.

But it should still allow you to "Create Video File". If you are wanting to burn to a CD, then you are obviously aiming to produce either a VCD or SVCD. If so, then in the Create Video File stage, you can produce either a VCD-compatible MPEG-1 file, or else an SVCD-compatible MPEG-2 file. If you do this, you can then import that file into another burning program you might have, such as Nero. Nero, for example, will then allow you to build a menu, add chapters and then burn to CD.

Or you could pay around $50 to upgrade to the full and latest version of the program!

Your right, it is vs7 basic version. It was bundled with my 1394 card.
