How can I transfer tv movies and programs recorded via Windows Media

click "Transfer to DVD". This is the simplest way, without getting
Windows Movie Maker involved.  Windows Movie Maker has a tendency to
crash and lose data.  It can be useful, however, in some cases.  Here
is an example of what it can do:
