Technical help please!

Using software on the laptop I've put together a 7 minute video of short clips of my ALDD learners working. This short video plays well on the laptop screen. I tried to project it onto my living room wall in preparation for showing to the group at the beginning of next term. The projector was only showing the desktop and media player window, and not the video, which was showing on the laptop.
Using the Nero sofware on the laptop I then burnt the video as a video CD, however, the computer could not read the files when I tried to play it back.
Can anyone help me solve this? I would really like to use the many short video clips that I've made of my learners in action.
Thanks, Lizzie

Hi Lizzie. I am aware that sometimes there is a problem with showing video on the projector, even when you can view it on the laptop screen. Can't remember the solution off hand but I will investigate, ask around and get back to you. When do you hope to use it?

Hi Jane, I'm not planning to show it until 25th of this month. A friend and ex-work colleague from Brighton was visiting and I wanted to show her what I was doing and decided to try out what I had planned. If you could help me before then I'd really appreciate it.
My friend was very impressed with what we're doing, read our blog and intends to take a lot of the info and ideas back to her work place.
Thanks, Lizzie
