  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

    ==================================
    Long message... I hope the info is useful:

    VOB (as you know) is the DVD video format.

    You can not convert video to a format of photo as
    .jpg and retrieve your original images. And...
    None... copies of original source files are not
    archived anywhere on the DVD.

    A method (and probably not near what you)
    hope) would be to make the screenshots
    (capture) video. The resolution and
    sharpness of the capture will not equal
    the originals.

    The free VLC Media Player can read your
    VOB files.

    VLC Media Player
    http://www.videolan.org/

    For the installer for your screen Capture... Open VLC and
    Reach... Tools / Preferences / video button / video
    Instant image section.

    In the directory field... Search for and select a folder
    to save your captures po (for example... you could
    Create a new folder on your desktop and select)

    TO... Prefix... check the box... Sequential numbering.

    TO... Format, choose JPEG or PNG.

    Finally... on the left, click on the Save"" button.

    Now... Play the video and pause by pressing on your
    SPACEBAR when you see a screen you want to capture.

    To capture the screen... type...  SHIFT + S

    Press space to advance to the next photo...
    ect... etc...

    A possibility may be 'Solution B' in the
    next article:

    "Excerpt from photographs of wedding DVD videos.
    for printing.
    http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/02/extract-still-photographs-from-wedding.html

    Word to the wise... If you use a software that will
    extract frames from the video... be aware that thousands
    photos can be made and you can fill in all
    your free space until you realize.

    Good luck...

  • Edition file Windows Movie Maker as my Windows DVD Maker solution get an error unspecified 1.6% each time?

    I can't publish my holiday video (multiple files linked together by me in Windows Movie Maker with title screens before each clip and music) as Windows DVD Maker claims an unspecified error of 1.6% each time. I changed the output directory, but that did not help. Also, when in Movie Maker / a lot of DVD Maker icon stream through the bar near the clock, some white with small print out and some red with "Ffv", which I can only think fact obstacle to the whole process!

    I was wondering if I could download it my Windows Movie Maker in another free DVD file, making the software and if you have any suggestions?
    Thank you

    Last reply first... No, are the Movie Maker project files
    not compatible with other video editing software.

    You are running Windows or Vista Movie Maker 6
    Live Movie Maker?

    It is possible that your project is too complex for
    your system resources but it is more than likely
    some of your files source (Photos, video Clips,
    Audio clips) are not fully compatible with Windows
    Movie Maker.

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

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    Conversion to formats compatible before importing
    in Movie Maker may be the solution.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

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

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster download)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup290.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag > FFSetup290.exe< out="" of="" the="">
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

  • Windows DVD Maker will not play on the TV DVD player

    I have Windows Vista, and Windows Movie Maker to make a movie. I've published using Windows DVD Maker. I've made several copies and sent to various members of my family. While I was able to watch them when I tested them on my TV dvd player, none of my family members are able to watch their copies on their dvd players. In addition, when I insert the dvd in my computer's dvd player, it won't play either. How can I fix?

    Thank you. What I did just check "ffdshow" configuration and found that the codec for mp2 was disabled, so I let him. Now when I load the dvd into my computer it starts automatically.

    Now, my question is that I have to burn the new dvd for my family, so they can watch on their dvd player TV? Are their other codecs apart from that I have activated that must be adjusted so that DVDs can be found on other dvd players?

    ======================================
    You didn't say if you have a folder VIDEO_TS on the DVD...

    OK... you say you can play DVDs on your freestanding
    DVD player and on your computer. Startups that appears
    DVDs are fine and the problems of members of your family
    need to be cleared up on their end.

    One thing I would try would be to publish the project as a

  • Why does the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) stop Windows DVD maker work & burn a DVD of my videos?

    My operating system is Windows Vista.  I used Movie Maker to make of my recordings of camcorder home movies, but when I try to burn a DVD with Windows DVD Maker, the program closed its doors with an error message - Data Execution Prevention (DEP) has apparently stopped the program for preventing possible dangers for my computer, maybe because he was "bad memory usage".  I tried to turn off DEP for this program, but it won't let me.  How to work around this problem?

    NB I have not used the DVD maker for about 20 months, but it worked fine then!

    Hello

    http://blogs.msdn.com/ieinternals/archive/2009/10/10/understanding-data-execution-prevention-crashes-in-IE8.aspx

    The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
    1st.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

    not better?

    Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
    unusual with Prevx market except for an occasional cookie of low level (not a big deal), update it, then
    run as a scanner.

    I would add prevx so.

    Hi KenGLove,

    You need to install additional software to create discs of DVD movie ready for playback on a video DVD player.  I suggest you check the store or do a search with your favorite browser to find a.

    However, you can still use Windows 8 to write data to DVD without additional software disks.

    Hi rondah,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.

    The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.

    As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.

    You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. 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.

  • Windows DVD Maker avi file is invalid or damaged

I no for a fact that there is nothing wrong with the file they open and play very well in one of my players and the same exact files were burned using create DVD Windows on an another Toshiba Satellit (owned by my brother) I was serching hollow these forums for a few weeks now trying things that have worked for other people. I installed ffdshow, but also mentioned in another reply vista codec pack. I have also run the sfc/scannow command in the prompt nd at the end he told me that the corrupted files have been found, but not all of them could be fixed. I have no no that much about computers of operation but I suspect that it is a bigger problem then just DVD Maker because when I try to put these files in Movie Maker, they're fine, but then when you play them or drag them to the timeline is no sound or picture. I've only had this computer for a few months and reallly wish I can use DVD Maker because all I have not use it and really like it. Please help me
