Trying to make a dvd.  Its a Avi file, about 3GB.  DVD Writer on my Sony Vaio Laptop VGN-SZ2M/B, should be the software on there but everything im doing doesnt work. 
I've tried right clicking and Copy to CD but that doesnt work.  Tried making a movie out of it in windows movie maker but then the save to CD option is greyed out   
Other programs that are on there 
InterVideo WinDVD for VAIO 
Click to DVD 
DVGate Plus 
 
Cant find an option on any of these to do it, or if there is one it doesnt work   
  
Any ideas?

3Gb is actually small for an avi file captured straight off a Dv Camera...will only be about 10 minutes long at a guess
