Can't Burn WMV file created by Premier Elements 8

Question

I organized a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 8 which then opened Adobe Premier 8. Adobe Premier 8 created a .WMV file of slide show. I have tried to burn the .WMV file using Ashampoo Burning 8. Ashampoo runs but in the end annouces DVD burn has failed. I can burn a CD so I dont think its Plextor drive. Ashampoo tech seems to be of no help. Am wondering if anyone else has trouble burning WMV files of slideshows?

Thanks again.
I did as you suggested and I'm basically back to where I started.
I outputted a Pr8 slideshow to PrE.  I then burned the slideshow onto a DVD using the "share" function at PrE. 
It is incredibly slow -- takes about 3 hours -- but it did burn the DVD.  I did this before on earlier versions of Elements (Pr6, I think), and now I remember why I stopped doing it. 
The resulting DVD is not acceptable.  Two main problems. 
First, instead of smooth, continuous panning and zooming, every single slide, after the fade transition, is still, and then it jerks into panning and zooming. 
Second, the overall quality is not so great.  Lots of shimmer/jiggle during the panning and zooming, and a lot of general mushiness.  Text I've inserted onto slides often has really mushy edges.  I've completely given up trying to use a shadow color behind text because even though it looks good in the preview when I'm making the slideshow, on screen using the DVD, it just compounds the problem of the mushiness.
We have a brand new, high-end HP computer with Windows 7 with all programs and drivers fully updated, so I don't think there is a problem outside Adobe.
Because PrE generated DVDs that weren't so good (sorry) , I started saving the Pr8 slideshows as .wmv files and then trying to use Roxio to burn the .wmv file onto a DVD using its encoding.  Roxio generated one DVD that way that worked very well:  much sharper quality photos and text and smooth, continuous panning and zooming, but then Roxio started generating error messages at the end of the DVD-creation process and Roxio tech support tells me it is an unsolvable problem, so they're refunding my money. 
I prefer Adobe anyway and only tried Roxio because of the problems with Adobe DVDs mentioned above.
So, is there any other way I can go about this within Adobe that will help solve the pan-zoom and mushiness problems?
I really appreciate your help.  It takes me many hours to create these slideshows of family vacations and it's very frustrating to then end up not being able to generate the end product - a quality DVD - at the end.
