  • Why, trying to ' save/burn DVD' in Windows Movie Maker 2011, Windows stops at 40% registered?

    I carefully created a film that lasts 1 hour 19 minutes and consists of clips video, pictures always and the music with Windows Live Moviemaker 2011.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and think I have all the updates that are loaded.

    When I try to "save/burn DVD", Windows starts the recording of the film process, and when she gets the 40% recorded point, Windows will stop.  What is the problem?

    Large, complex projects, such as the one you created tend to
    be problematic.

    There is a real possibility that you have included one or more
    source (photos, video clips, music files) files that are either
    corrupted or not completely compatible with Movie Maker / DVD Maker.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with Movie Maker but
    the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  • How to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and an external DVD burner?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro. My internal DVD drive no longer works. I have an external DVD burner - slim portable DVD writer. I create the project into DVD Studio Pro, and when in the program, it works fine when I "stimulate". Well, I can't burn it.  When I look for the external DVD writer in my finder, it is not and I don't know how or where to select the option so it is programmed to burn the external DVD writer. Any advice? Thank you have a great week.

    I found a thread that has addressed this issue, but does not help me to solve my problem. Meg the dog was told this to her in question written by Scott Stark. I tried his solution of generation and format, but after pressing the burn a window appears saying "insert disc please insert acceptable DVD recordable media."  I tried to use another blank DVD, it did not help. I use Word for Word, I heard that those who are the best blank DVDs, you can buy. Thanks again for your time!

  • How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

    I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD.

    Hello Timbay1,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    What has changed in your environment, as it was working before and now does not work? Have you installed any new software or updates?
    It can be 3rd party software created a conflict with your codecs and you need to re - register.

    You could check and see if you have compatible Codecs installed in Windows Vista.
    or you can try to use the codec for Vista Codec Pack - pack

    There are other 3rd party codecs but I can't guarantee that they will work with Windows Vista.
