Cannot find Windows DVD Maker

Good then it's perhaps insoluble, but I can find more Windows DVD Maker on my computer.  When I open the start menu and select all programs, it's not here.  Is it possible to uninstall this program?  If I managed to do is there any way I can restore it on my computer?

Hello xDUngeoNMastERx,

Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

Windows DVD creation is located in %ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\DVDMaker.exe.  You should be able to create a shortcut icon and place it in the start menu.  If this isn't the case, then I suggest you do a restore of the system to date, the program has been lost.

This should answer your question or solve your problem.

System restore

I hope the information is useful.

Kind regards

  • Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

    I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

    I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

    This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

    Thank you!

    NancyLouse,

    Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

    To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
    -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
    -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
    -Click on Folder Options, click view
    -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

    The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

    What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

    Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

    -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
    -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

    Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

    I hope this helps

  • Cannot burn DVD in Windows DVD Maker

    Hello

    I'm burning a couple of files wmv to a DVD. The two files together last about 5 minutes on a 120 minute DVD - RW. When I open Windows DVD Maker and import the two files, DVD Maker goes through the burning process, but towards the end DVD Maker informs me that he cannot finish burning "an error has occurred." It does not say what error or what caused it. DVD Maker itself I unchecked the filters in 'compatibility '; in the Windows Event Viewer, I can see the following:

    DVD Maker returned an error code (0xC00D002F) when burning the disc.

    Dvd creation engine returned an error (-1072889809) code when burning the disc.

    When I check the events and the center of Microsoft's messages for the two error messages, I 'been found no results for your query.

    How could I solve this problem please?

    Thank you.

    Hello I volunteer

    Thanks a lot for your answer and the link of the encoder.

    I got the encoder to work and 15 tracks (wmv) audio/video tracks I wanted to burn it to a DVD using DVD Maker, some 12 are corrupt. I don't know how they have corrupted or why, but there you are.

    The strange thing is that if I use another burning program, I can play tracks perfectly - a drawback is that with other software, you can not burn the tracks in the order you want (they appear on the final DVD burned by alphabetical order), whereas the DVD Maker, you can organize tracks by using the Up/arrow keys.

    I have not tried to burn on a DVD so I'll post back.

    Thanks again.

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

  • Burned DVD using Windows DVD Maker times only once on my Blu - ray player

    Original title: burned dvd

    When I do a cd burned with my windows dvd maker, dvd will play only once on my blu - ray player separated from the TV.  It works fine the first time, but the Player cannot find the disc any time after that.  I use dvd + r discs.  Is there a formatting problem, or do I need to get the dvd + rw discs.  I'm really at a loss.  Thanks for your help guys!

    Hi frapachino21,

    -The problem occurs with all CD/DVD you burn using Windows DVD Maker?

    -After playback of the disc on the Blu - ray drive, the drive is not detected on your desktop/computer laptop with no problems?

    To use certain kinds of CD or DVD discs outside of your computer, you must close the session, which is a process that prepares the disc to be read by other computers and players.

    You can try to close or finalize the CD/DVD and check if it makes a difference.

  • Windows DVD Maker doesn't burn files .wmv/wlmp video high definition?

    Hey all,.

    Long time user WMM, but with the recent switch to Win7, I'm having a hard time with WLMM.  In short, create the movie in WLMM is a snap.  Burn a DVD quality is another story.

    I am using video clips high definition AVCHD from my new Sony CyberShot camera and showing the film on a Samsung 50 "720 p plasma.  If I burn a project WLMM created (Save Movie-> burn a DVD) and burn it in DVD maker, the quality is absolutely terrible on the plasma. It looks like an old VHS tape.  So, I guess the resolution 480 I saved is the problem.

    So, if I save the project with high-definition (720 p - 1280 x 720) in WLMM and try to extract this file in Windows DVD maker, I get the error "0 files have been added.  1 file could not be added.  The \xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx.wlmp file is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported. "How is it possible that Windows DVD maker cannot burn a file created by its sister product Windows Live Movie Maker?  Am I missing something here, trying to extract a file to DVD Maker WLMM, or is it not possible?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    the Movie Maker project in the format video .wmv and then try to import

  • Cannot create Windows DVD, burning the disc - Satellite L350

    Can someone help I'm on a Toshiba satellite L350
    I'm trying to burn a DVD with Windows DVD maker. It is the fourth I've done and the previous ones were all OK.

    I can't burn the DVD, I tried both types of disc and made about 10 attempts today.
    When I try to burn it starts OK then I get about 34% and get an error message

    I had two different error messages, it says "cannot create the DVD error unspecified.". "
    The other says "cannot create DVD catastrophic failure"

    As Akuma wrote, it can be a problem creating Windows DVD and has nothing to do with the functionality of optical disc drive. It is good to check the updates.

    Can you test the WEIRD feature using a different burning application?

  • What type of DVD should I buy to burn my Windows Movie Maker movie? Also, I have Windows DVD Maker, but no DVD burner. What should I buy?

    I created a movie in Movie Maker.  I bought some DVD + r's - the correct burn the movie on?  Also, I don't have a burner, I thought that I did, I can only burn a CD what should I buy?  I don't have a Windows DVD authoring program.

    Hi rondah,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.

    The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.

    As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.

    You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.
