DVD Maker does not recognize my DVD burner


Not from files from digital camera with Windows Movie Maker, sent the draft to burn movie DVD Maker tells me "no DVD burner installed"...

Dell PC, 2 GB of ram, only six months, Vista OS, no other software has problems with the DVD burner...

Any ideas? Any help much appreciated...

Hello Bladerunner.au,

You could try the following:

Fill any DVD burning software. These programs may be trying to use the player, which prevents access to the Windows disk. Programs to look at include:

  • Roxio product family
  • Power DVD
  • WinDVD
  • Direct Media
  • Windows Media Player
  • Nero Burning ROM

Update the firmware on the optical drive and the BIOS of the computer. In some cases, the firmware of the drive may be damaged or the BIOS can 'lose' the reader. Visit the Dell drivers and downloads site Web and enter your Service tag to get the updates specific to your computer.

Since you have a new Dell computer, you can go to the Dell site for the support of this new computer.
www.support.Dell.com

I hope this helps.

Thank you

    =========================================
    Movie Maker has been designed to download from mini-DV cameras
    connected with FireWire... (they record at small cassettes... not
    flash drives)

    The best would be to download the video files in a folder on your
    hard drive... convert the WMV movie format and then import
    in Movie Maker.

    If you connect the camera via a cable USB and go to... My computer...
    It should be recognized as a drive. If it's... you can download it from
    there by copy and paste or drag and drop.

    Good luck...

  • Windows Movie Maker does not recognize my new Sony XR155E HD handycam.

    I bought a new XR155E Sony to replace my old Sony handycam. I used to connect Via firewire no problem. My new Cam lacks a firewire connection and has only an HDTV connection and USB connection. I connect the new handycam Sony XR155E HD via USB.

    Movie Maker won, t recognize the camera when I want to import the new camera. is there some way I can connect the Sony XR155E while Movie Maker will allow me to direct import from the camera. SONY software is useless when it comes to editing and cutting of elements. Also, I can CVCTVLY copy DVD Dick in Standard mode and not HD.

    Is ther a cable that will allow me to connect my FireWire to the computer in the small USB connection on the camera? Can I get a cable adopter? Help, please. Is there any good software that will pick up my camera Via USB and allow me to edit the video and sound?

    Your new Sony XR155E is a hard drive camcorder... Film
    Maker is designed to import via firewire mini-DV tapes.

    See the article by fpollowing:

    I guess the best way would be to download a video
    folder on your hard drive, convert to a compatible format
    with Movie Maker and then edit.

    Or the Sony software might be worth a try:
