• Cannot load music in Windows DVD Maker

  I created a DVD of photos for the graduation of the class of my Category 5e program and trying to add music to it.  The music program will recognize is music already in my computer from the "sample" folder  I tried to use the CD someone copied for me, I copied the music in the music folder, I joined a download site (Rhapsody) and paid for the music and we tried a regular CD bought in a shop.  Nothing has worked.  Where can I get the music that I can put directly on the DVD - I want that every one of my students to have a copy at home at the delivery of graduates!  My system is Vista... is that a problem?

  It looks like your music files are not compatible with Movie Maker.

  Are the best formats to import audio files in Movie maker
  . WMA and .wav.

  If you use Windows Media Player to RIP your CD with .wma as the
  target format, you can import the .wma files in Movie Maker.

  I made a video with windows movie maker and when I tried to add music from my windows media player, I got a message that says that my music is protected by digital rights management and it would'nt I will add the music.i have made a film before, and I could add music.the music in my Media Player is from my own cd collection. then how will I can't add music to my windows movie maker?

  Movie Maker probably only supports unprotected WMA files.

  WMA files will be protected if they were torn apart by WMP with the copy protect music setting (Options of WMP - music Rip) turned on. For an unprotected WMA, you will need to re - rip track, after being assured that this setting is disabled.

I no for a fact that there is nothing wrong with the file they open and play very well in one of my players and the same exact files were burned using create DVD Windows on an another Toshiba Satellit (owned by my brother) I was serching hollow these forums for a few weeks now trying things that have worked for other people. I installed ffdshow, but also mentioned in another reply vista codec pack. I have also run the sfc/scannow command in the prompt nd at the end he told me that the corrupted files have been found, but not all of them could be fixed. I have no no that much about computers of operation but I suspect that it is a bigger problem then just DVD Maker because when I try to put these files in Movie Maker, they're fine, but then when you play them or drag them to the timeline is no sound or picture. I've only had this computer for a few months and reallly wish I can use DVD Maker because all I have not use it and really like it. Please help me

• Edition file Windows Movie Maker as my Windows DVD Maker solution get an error unspecified 1.6% each time?

  I can't publish my holiday video (multiple files linked together by me in Windows Movie Maker with title screens before each clip and music) as Windows DVD Maker claims an unspecified error of 1.6% each time. I changed the output directory, but that did not help. Also, when in Movie Maker / a lot of DVD Maker icon stream through the bar near the clock, some white with small print out and some red with "Ffv", which I can only think fact obstacle to the whole process!

  I was wondering if I could download it my Windows Movie Maker in another free DVD file, making the software and if you have any suggestions?
  Thank you

  Last reply first... No, are the Movie Maker project files
  not compatible with other video editing software.

  You are running Windows or Vista Movie Maker 6
  Live Movie Maker?

  It is possible that your project is too complex for
  your system resources but it is more than likely
  some of your files source (Photos, video Clips,
  Audio clips) are not fully compatible with Windows
  Movie Maker.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with
  Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  Conversion to formats compatible before importing
  in Movie Maker may be the solution.

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converter is just one example:

  Advice please

  Hello

  1. You make changes to your computer that caused the problem?
  2. Did you try to move the photos to another folder and check if it works?
  3. Have you tried to convert .wma in another format and check?

  This error message appears when you try to import data, audio or video that have been protected with digital rights (DRM) management. DRM is a technology that allows content authors and publishers, such as record companies and movie studios, control how their digital music and video files are used and distributed.

  I used Windows DVD Maker to create a photo slideshow. I downloaded music and for some reason there is a break in the music after the second song. In the end, the last sang the fade in unfinished is not because there are not enough audio files. It works wonderfully for previews, until I checked the box to get the match audio and video to the top of the calendar. I tried to delete all the audio files and download them once again, but this is the same area without noise. I also "unchecked" to have the photos and audio to the height.

• Windows DVD Maker Burns not part any video of the film, I have a black screen in the middle of the music and titles...

  I made a movie in Windows Movie Maker using film 8 mm which was transferred to the files. The film came out great but when I go to 'release', or burn to dvd, it says Windows Movie Maker will save file and open it in creation of DVD to burn/publish.  About halfway through the movie, there is no 8 mm video, you can see all the titles, and hear the music that I edited in but no video.  I cut the video in half thinking there was too much data, I burned my movie with no other programs running, I changed all the transitions and titles in thinking that you might have a glitch.  I have burned about 10 films try something different each time without success. Help!
