• Burned using Windows DVD maker photos are blurred when read

  Pictures inserted in creation of DVD of Windows7 and burned to a DVD disc are dimmed when read on television via a DVD or Power DVD on the PC drive (origonal photos are sharp)

  No problem with ULEAD DVD Movie Factory

  Hi Barry Robbo.

  1 when was the last time you were able to play a DVD burned successfully?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. What is the file format of the burned photos?

  4. which Windows Player do you use to play the burned photos?

  A DVD may not play properly in some DVD players or DVD - ROM readers to one of the following reasons:

  • The type of drive may not be compatible. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives can play some types of DVD. For example, some DVD players only play discs DVD + R or DVD + RW, while others play only DVD-R or DVD - RW discs.
  • The quality of the disc may be too low. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives will not play DVD if the disc is not in good condition or if it isn't a high quality disc. If your Player cannot play a DVD, you can try to burn again using a higher quality DVD.
  • DVD decoding software can not be installed on the computer. If you try to play the DVD in the DVD drive on another computer, the DVD will not play if DVD decoding software is not installed on this computer.

  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.

• Not able to add music downloaded to Windows DVD maker slide show

  Music Windows DVD Maker problems

  Cannot get my downloaded music to be recognised by Windows DVD Maker, when I try to add to the slideshow.  Sample music (which came preloaded with the computer) is the only music he recognizes when I go to add music.  I guess it's a problem of recognition of format, but I don't know how to download in a format that will work.

  ==========================================
  Might be worth trying to convert your music files to the
  format .wma before importing in creation of DVD.

  There are to many free converters available on the net...
  download from Koyotesoft is an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
  http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can uncheck
  offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you can uncheck
  the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

  After installing the program... open and drag and drop
  your audio files on the main screen...

  Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
  "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
  files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

  Choose a format...

  Left, click Convert.

  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.

  Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker SDK:

  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.

• 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!

• Problem with Windows DVD maker, Windows Vista Help

  I work with windows vista movie maker and dvd maker programs. The premiere of the film looks fine, however, after successfully burn on a DVD - R disc, the selections of chapter on the display of pages 2 and 3 for a few seconds, then the screen goes black for a few seconds, then returns to the chapter selections. How can I solve this problem? Thank you

  Wow! It is a large complex/project... more
  systems would never be able to make that
  in a DVD.

  It is possible that uncheck the filters would be
  improve the question...

  See the section "what to do if you have questions.
  in the following article.

  How to burn DVDs with Windows DVD Maker
  http://www.7tutorials.com/how-burn-DVDs-Windows-DVD-Maker

  I'm guessing that you are under Vista Movie Maker 6?
  The only new version would be Windows Live
  Movie Maker and I think most users would
  not to call it an 'Upgrade '.

  Personally, I suggest making small
  projects, or even a first part and a second part on
  two DVD.

  If you save your Movie Maker projects to DV - AVI
  format and when you import within the limit of the DVD Maker
  the total duration of about 1 hour for DVD
  You can have the best video quality.

• DVD Maker burn only video widescreen 4:3, regardless of the report parameter l / h

  I use DVD Maker and you have imported a widescreen in avi format video.  No matter if I put the image 4:3 or 16:9 format DVD, it burns video part 4:3 anyway. The menu displays in 16:9, the preview plays in a 16:9 frame, menu burn in 16:9, but the video is burned in an image full screen complete with very large and skinny people!
  The other parameters are NTSC and start in the menu.
  What happened with a newer version of the beta version of Windows7 and now between professional.

  Windows DVD Maker has a design aspect ration fault.

  I created a DVD using opinion with 16 x 9 aspect ratio. When played on a DVD player connected to a 16 x 9 TV, it looks fine, but when played on a 4 x 3 TV, the video is wrinkled rather than Letterbox or cropped. Surprisingly, the DVD seems to substitute for TV or DVD settings. I created several DVDs more with different parameters and the results are always the same - test on 4 DVD players and two televisions. Then, I created a DVD with 16 x 9 and 4 x 3 content content. Not only were the 16 x 9 crushed on the set of 4 x 3, but video 4 x 3 has been extended across the 16 x 9! Yet once, either the TVs juggle parameters during the process of creating or viewing options or four DVD players has changed the results. In all cases content was stretched or crushed to fill the screen. The DVD created using Roxio Creator 9 (or similar software) with identical clips do NOT have this problem. The DVD resulting does NOT substitute devices that they are played on. I do not think that any new software should be less functional that many softwares for years, do you think?

  Calogero suggestion that 'when deciding what image format to choose, consider the aspect ratio for the monitor or TV on which your slide show will be ironed' is absurd. Firstly, we are not talking slideshow - we could care less if the slides in the menu are the correct proportions - we don't talk video. Then, suppose you want to create a DVD to give to dozens or hundreds of friends and family for the holidays. You're supposed to find the type of TV each recipient? This is ridiculous. If I have 4 x 3 TV sets now but plan to get the big screen 6 months from now, you want me to redo each disc? Have you already bought or rented a DVD you have to tell them if you had a TV big screen, so they could decide what DVD to give you? Most importantly, determine what type of TV will be used does not change the fact that no amount of fiddling with the settings have an impact on this issue. The only choice you are using other software or use only 4 x 3 to be played on a 4 x 3 TV clips and clips of 16 x 9 to be played on a large tv screen.

• Need help with Windows Live Movie Maker and DVD Maker

  I have worked with Windows Live Movie Maker to cut a continuous piece of video footage into separate clips (these are dance performances by dancers of different about 13)... then once they were divided into 13 clips separated, I then cut them at the beginning and at the end of each clip (performance) and then used legends at the beginning of each clip with name of the dancer.  I also added a title at the beginning of the film page, and I added at the end of the credits.  Then I clicked on save the movie and had to wait an hour or more... Finally, when this was done, I opened Windows DVD Maker and clicked on add items... went to my file and put my film recorded in the creation of DVD.  I used also changed the Menu template to that for shows (it is red and black and has lights and cameras as a staging.  I thought everything was going along fine until I played the disc engraved on my Smart TV DVD player.  For some reason when I click on the stages (or chapters) to see the performance under this button, it starts to play the dvd in a few seconds or a few minutes in some cases in the performance... I've lost countless blank DVDs not to mention hours and hours of time... and I'm so frustrated... I'm ready to SCREEEAAMMM!  Also some of the performances were not even under one of the buttons or frames... in other words you could not use the arrow keys to locate some of them to click it and find out.  Yet, when I went back and pressed the 'Play' button, I could fast forward through the entire movie and find performances that seem to be missing the scenes/buttons.  Any help or advice before I blow a bridge! ???

  ===============================================
  First of all a question... did you you save the project in a video such as format
  . WMV or. MP4? Or have you just of WLMP project folder?

  I suspect that DVD Maker is to see your movie in one file
  and he has no idea where are your scenes. More than likely it is
  creation of scenes on his own in arbitrary places.

  In order for DVD Maker correctly, identify individual scenes
  each stage must be registered as an individual video clip, then
  the collection of video clips can be imported and each of them must
  become an individual scene.  DVD Maker is supposed to accept
  up to 18 scenes.

  Just an experience you can import your new original
  video clips in DVD Maker and see if it works properly. If
  It does what you want... change and re-record your clips one video
  both will be the fix.

  Good luck...

• Half frame of slide shows - DVD burning slide

  I created a slide show in Photoshop Elements 10.  I then clicked on exit to begin the process of creating a DVD.  When the show transferred to first Elements 10, only the lower part half each frame dia appeared and thus produced a slide show DVD with only the bottom half of the frame.  I then tried to burn a new DVD of slide show that I had burned successfully on a previous occasion.  By clicking again on the production and following the menu, I had the half frame again when I arrived for the DVD burning program in first Elements 10.  Can someone give a help?

  For us, it happens when the decoding of WMV9 files.  Not all uses of decoding WMV are affected, but I have confirmed that when linking the WMV decode DLL to a sample for RGB32 video grabber, executives are black on top, so that points directly to the internal data of the dll to decode WMV decoding.

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

• 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
