  • I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd

    I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd and that's all what he'll do it just ejects and the session is over

    Hi Barbara,

    You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.

  • How to make Windows Media Player and Real Player STOP my each image stored in MS Paint - loading Vista

    More specifically, when I open Windows Media Player or Real Player to view the photos uploaded from my cameras, players are full of 2,000

    images, I stored in MS Paint.  I need these images in MS Paint for reference material for my work.  They are all the print screen shots pasted in MS Paint.

    What I want, it's for Real Player and Windows Media Player to be used only to store the photos from my camera.  I don't want these other 2,000 images in there, because they make it very difficult to manage all 2,000 of them when looking to find photos of the camera that are much more limited.

    So, basically, I don't want media players store these images of MS Paint.  And I hope that I do not need to delete one by one or in boots.  And I don't want to accidentally remove it from my computer.  I just keep them in the painting.     Please tell us how to proceed, if possible.

    Media Player is not all image acquisition to import videos from cameras.

    But let me clarify: Media Player also does not maintain a library index more (this is bad for performance).  When you browse through your photo library by clicking on the links on the left side of the media player, it's just browsing through files as if you open the window of your file and you click on the image on the left side of the library.  The two are different programs, but they both go through the same places as a folder view, so there is no worry about the index of the media player clog, because it is not a plus.

    Example:

    Media Player does not index more, it uses just the file system.  If you right click and select properties of the picture library, this is where you control the locations it reflects in its scope.  It is not a folder (nothing can be stored "in"a library".  The circled "3 locations" is another way to access the same.

  • How to set Windows Media Player as default for ripping the CD program

    IMesh

    How can I reset Windows Media Player to be the default for ripping CD's?  A few months ago, I downloaded IMesh to try.  A month later, I deleted the application from my computer.  Now Windows Media will not rip the CD that I put in.  I checked the default music Ripper and there still IMesh as the default Ripper.  I tried to delete IMesh again, but the default is always the same. Help!

    You need describe what symptoms get any decent help - explain what stops you rip the CD.

    As a first response, try to run these troubleshooters [those of "BOLD" seem the most relevant].  They will reset your Date last played info & info sides as these parameters are in the WMP library functions.
