Can't make a dvd of multimedia from a file in DVD Maker .avi

I struggled for days. I bought an Insignia digital camcorder and use a card to camera 4 meg for storage memory. All I want to do is import a file from my camera and make a DVD from the file that anyone can stick to their DVD player and watch it on TV. When I try to import the creator of the file said DVD the file is either corrupt or is of the wrong type. I did the DVD by other methods which play on my computers okay but a home dvd player can't read the files. Please help and put an end to my misery. This must be a simple process but of course I did hard.

Thank you

Hello, pcbeach

Please use the Forum for answers!

You have installed the software for your camcorder?
Are you able to play the AVI with Windows Media Player?

If you are not able to play the AVI file, you probably need to install the codec/software suitable for your camera.

There is a video on the following Windows Help link which will guide you through the steps to create a DVD using Windows DVD Maker: Demo: create a DVD-video disc.

We can't wait to hear back on your part.

    Hello golden2,.

    I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

    Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

    Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

    Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

    1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
    3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
    4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
    6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

    Take care.

    Hello SuperComicCollecter 101,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    You can't even download new menus/styles; You can then bring yourself with the SDK pack that you can download from the official website of Microsoft. It would be a bit complicated, but if you are good at programming you can use this SDK package. There are many online tutorials that will help you.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=db25c30a-44F4-4306-BE62-2f3b7ef3849f&displaylang=en

    After downloading this file, I suggest to install in compatibility mode, to do this, please follow the steps below

    Right click on the downloaded file > properties > click on the Compatibility tab > under compatibility mode > check the box run this program in compatibility mode for and select windows 7 in the drop-down list in the menu drop down and then apply the settings.

    I hope this information helps. Please get back to us if you have any other questions on this subject.

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

    First try a system restore to a date that precedes you disabled the camera, it could allow the camera back.

    Try reinstalling the camera driver. On my previous Asus link there is a click to download on that link. You must communicate your model number or click on 'Auto-Detection model '.

    There is also a forum on the Asus Support link, you can try to ask your questions here.

    You can also try the update of the BIOS available on the download link and then check if the unit is on.

  • The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

    A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

    That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

    I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

    How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

    Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

    Thank you!

    You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

    Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

    If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

    A clean installation will wipe everything.

    You cannot transfer programs.

    It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

  • Movie Maker: can not make dvd, unspecified error

    I made a holidaymovie with Windows Movie Maker 6.0, working with Vista Ultimate SP2 on a laptop Acer Aspire 9420. Got more memory (4 GB RAM). It has 20 GB free and the D-disk 40 GB of free space on my C drive. The original camera film is on an external hard drive. (Do not know if these things are important, but just in case...)
     
    I made a movie (68 minutes), I put the music on it and added some effects. Now I want to burn it to DVD + R (4.7 GB), but it does not work. An error message appears when the encoding (I don't know if it's the right translation in Dutch, it's "coderen") is 13.6%. The error message says: "can not make DVD, unspecified error. '
    The last time when I did a movie, I had the same problem and I solved it by cutting the movie in 2 parts. And I did the first piece gradually larger and at the end I managed to get the movie on a DVD.
    Now, I tried the same thing, but when I tried to burn the first part (34 minutes) on a dvd, the same error message is displayed, but now, at 27% (approximately).
     
    I already cleaned my computer, while I have more memory space. Last time, I changed the virtual memory, but that did not work.
    Who can help me?

    Some people have suggested it might be a problem with the Codecs.

    To see if there is problem with Codecs load MOVIE Maker and go to the tools /.

    Options / tab to check codec compatibility.   Do not delete the AVI file

    Compressor, at least not until you've tried without the other Codecs first.

    Windows Movie Maker and DVD Maker have enough similarities to make these interesting to read.  DVD Maker could actually be more tolerant and not so much, crash if you are able to use as an alternative?

  • How can I make sure deleted files are permantly removed from my system and non-recoverable?

    I have files that I deleted, then emptied my Recycle Bin, but I understand that these are still recoverable. They have not been sent, published or shared. How can I make sure that they are permantently deleted and not accessible from my computer. I have Windows 7 on a HP DM4 if that helps. I need simple answers because I'm a girl who is not all that computer savy. I appreciate the answers, thank you.

    It all depends on how hard you want the person you are looking for the file to work.  What you did until the preserved most of other casual users to recover files.

    If you take the hard drive to a data recovery company, they would probably still recover (unsecured) files.  You can use programs that write too much data time and time again - but even in this case, it might be salvageable.
    Government and businesses know that the only way to ensure that the files have disappeared is to destroy the drive - by crushing or it chop into pieces with a machine to grind.

    No, you can't do that, they must not be resold.

    They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription.
