creating Windows dvd burning only the aspect 4:3, even when set to 16:9 ratio.

Burns maker Windows dvd only the aspect ratio 4:3, even when the value 16:9.was ok in vista, but not the case in windows 7 too movie maker in windows 7 is garbage.this pure direct essential bundle is rubbish.why should set us up with that? I bet that there is no answer. tried to download older versions of movie maker work. but you get directed to this essential live bundle .any way this isn't the end of the world.as, I did a few dvd place pods...

Always the same question on 8 January 2015. Windows Movie Maker produces video files in 16 / 9, but Windows DVD Maker that requires to 4:3 when burning a DVD, regardless of the settings.

Again, I tried severale time and again on April 24, 2015, the ratio has to be 4:3!

Too bad because I like the creation of DVD menu.

I found the solution... very simple and it will work every time. before you burn the DVD with windows DVD creation, make sure you 'exit' your video to mpeg2 format, no matter what software you use to edit your videos, make sure you "output" your finished video in MPEG2 before burning with windows DVD maker

MPEG2 is a DVD format that windows DVD maker recognizes and so it will burn your video ratio 16.9 this video will play on any DVD player. AVI WMV formats won't work even if you copy with movie maker then MPEG2... This is the key ~ MPEG2 ~ that's the secret.

Unfortunately, Movie Maker stores projects only as MPEG-4 (.mp4) or Windows Media Video (.wmv).

If your solution is another problem. We should convert mp4 or wmv in MPEG-2, how?

Why Windows has no simple and direct way to burn DVD screen wide ratio?

  • Creating Windows DVD - burning is not the whole video

    Hello

    Hoping someone may be able to provide me with assistance.

    I added successfully 4 VTS_01 film of video files in a project using create DVD Windows, using windows Vista. I entered all the information and personalized menu to suit me. I then run the preview everything seems very well the film will play form beginning to end.

    Now hear is my problem.

    When I burn the project to a disk, it will go through the movements of code and finally burn to the disc. Once it is finished burning, the disc is ejected.

    I'm going to play in my DVD Player menus I have made show the 4 files ok and I play the movie. But he will play only the first 28 minutes of the film. I tried selecting other scenes that won't play in the menu of the scene and yet it just starts at the beginning and only run 28 minuets and start over.

    I tried to use the DVD + RW 4.7 GB and DVD-R DL 8.5 GB think my film can now be too big once I added the menu, that's why I tried the 8.5 GB. The film was initially recorded on the DVD + RW 4.7 GB until I ran across Windows DVD Maker. The original plays very well.

    There are no problems with the discs, burner or DVD play as I have tried several, also tested incentive.

    Is there something I'm not directly in the program? Believe if the files are not compatible at all why would be him coming up in Windows DVD Maker and I would like to twick the menu and burn?

    Hoping someone can help as my film is really great on the preview.

    Kind regards

    You say you converted. WMP... I'm guessing that you
    has meant. WMV?

    The duration of 88 minutes should not be too long for a
    DVD, but the project may be too complex for your
    system resources. As a general rule, small projects
    have a better success rate.

    Did you add additional files to this project? MP3
    for example music files?

    What version of Movie Maker are you running?

    I made a video of my Windows Movie Maker project and have tried several times to burn through my Windows DVD Maker with the burning of 7% max.  After that, it gets stuck.  However, my other several attempts were a result of burning of 1% and it stuck.  I've left overnight to see if it was the capacity but the next day it is still 1%.  I did other projects without problem.  It is only with this project.  I don't understand why it won't let me if I used Windows movie maker without problem.  The video was originally in AVI, but I was able to convert a 3GP using dvdvideosoft software. Then only, I have done a project using my Windows Movie Maker.  The full minutes of this project is 90 minutes, while the DVD that I want to burn it holds 150 minutes.  Can you help me?  Tried several things and can not find the solution.  I don't know that there must be a solution.

    From: pafos

    Problem - DVD burned with Windows DVD maker not fianalize Amend will be will not play back on normal household players

    After spending a considerable amount of time and money (on blank media) trying to produce a DVD that will play on my Panasonic player normal, that I gave up. If you Google this problem there are a lot of people out there with the same problem then why not can it be 'fixed' once and for all by SM.

    I tried to burn a slideshow of photo from Windows Live Photo Gallery, but she is spit out the disc at the end of 98.8%. R DVD plays perfectly on the PC but not the standalone player.

    I even tried to change the types of burners and media, but they all gave the same problem. The disc is not finalized.

    I can burn the DVD with the third-party software and these play fine, even, if I use XP pro, all is well so it's down to Vista I'm afraid. I have the latest version of Vista sp1 and all the drivers etc are up to date.

    In view of the foregoing can recommend a decent software that will burn DVD properly with Vista AND produce photo jpeg slide shows?

    Thanks in advance for any help

  • Creating Windows DVD - decoding problem?

    Hello.

    Recently, I tried to use Windows DVD Maker for the first time. Files added in the right menu and I could create a menu and listen to excerpts from the DVD. When I click on the button to burn, however, the DVD does that make to 1.7% full and watch then say error message:
    "One or more files that have been added in DVD Maker may not be decoded properly. Make sure you have decoding software installed on your computer that can decode the different files and then try again. »
    Windows Vista Home Premium is supposed to come with software decoding (I think), and I can't seem to find a way to solve the problem. Maybe I need new software decoding? I don't know if I'm just on the obvious or not.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Too bad. Thanks for all your help, but I solved the problem today.
    It turns out that this filmmaker of windows does support not either of the types of files that I used (.avi and .mov). They do not also support many other file types. He had to be a .wmv file format.
    I now use a new software to burn discs, because like that I don't meet problems in the future when you work with video from various sources.
    Two of the software I know who can solve the problem are Nero 9 and Adobe first Elements 7. (Just in case someone else runs into this same problem).

    CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.
