Anyone have some experience with macromedia Director?

Hi everyone I know this a community for flash but I couldn't find one specifically for macromedia director so I hope no one minds me asking here but I really need some help. You see this year for christmas I'm making a video cd. Basically I took a bunch of mp3's and merged them into a single mp3.Next I grabbed a bunch of christmas wallpapers so I could make the scenery change every minute. Now after doing that I loaded up macromedia director and put the pictures on the score along with the mp3 in the audio score section. Now I go to file and then extract to convert it to an avi. It asks me which encoder I want to use. This is where I'm stuck. I tried the DIVX 5 codec however after it finishes creating the avi...it shows my task bar in the actual movie when I play it back >_<. Is there a better codec to use, or if not , perhaps an option I forgot to select when encoding the movie I'm making?

Thanks for your help :)
