Is it possible to copy a dvd to wmv form through Windows Media Player? (+ 1 point)

I tried pretty much everything recommended for me to 'friends '; However, I still do not get the expected results.
I'm trying to scan my collection of dvd to wmv format. (Accessible through the media center and download movies on my zune.)
Yet, I must find a way, or someone to explain to me in words SIMPLE, (and an easy to follow step by step to do this.)

The other request I have is this...

Is there a way to change the file types in windows media player?
I have a few videos of my children that I took on my cell phone. I found a way to access these videos and download on my laptop... but want to know if there is a way to consolidate the wmv files and maybe make a video of the short clips. (I heard that windows is a free movie maker/editor available.

If there is someone who can help me scan my dvd collection and explain the file change for me in terms SIMPLE, of (color as); then I would be happy.
Thank you

    I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc.  I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player.  Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP.  I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.

    It is not possible to rip DVD using Windows Media Player. You must use a program designed to legally to copy files from a DVD to a computer.

    Unlike the DVD, you can rip a CD using the player. Information is available here.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize external DVD drive - so how do you watch a movie DVD?

    I just connected an external DVD - RW drive in my ultrabook of Windows 8 for the first time.  The ultrabook recognizes the drive and the dvd movie which are, but Windows Media Player only - only says: "connect a device".   The resolution of the issues said that the drive works properly.  I can't copy this movie at the video store, because it's a borrowed DVD.  So, how do WMP to recognize the DVD drive and play the movie?

    DVD playback is possible in 8 Pro windows media center. Player Windows Media 8 has no native codecs DVD added to it. You have the option to purchase an update for your Windows 8, which is Media Center Pack to allow playback of DVDs on your computer.
    * Note: Media center pack is only an upgrade for existing computers to Windows 8.

  • Windows Media Player 12 plays not DVD

    Hello, I have a new Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit system, running on a Gigabyte motherboard / Intel Core i7 920, built in the last days. I try to read commercial standard DVDs (e.g. Titanic) on the drive to DVD Samsung through a high-end Nvidia 1 GB graphic card, through Windows Media Player Version 12.0.7600.16415.

    NOTE: VLC Player works fully, showing that the material (audio / video) is properly installed.

    When you use the media player in Windows 7, I received the message "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. The options are 'Close' or 'Web Help', where the latter gave no information.

    This situation occurs through the display of several DVD media are OK.

    I downloaded a lot of codecs on the Net, ending up with very pixelated video and distorted sound under Windows 7 Media Player.

    I have now uninstalled these Codecs and VLC Player still works AOK.

    Where are you offering me I have Windows 7, 64-bit codecs, Windows Media Player Version 12.0.7600.16415 player?

    Hello

    This error "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card"is normally related to the video driver being unsigned. If your driver is not signed, you will not be able to play protected content, including DVDs.

    Try to install the latest video driver and see if the problem persists.

    Thank you

  • How to copy the existing playlist on a sitck Flash USB or an SD card in Windows Media Player?

    In WMP v12 on Windows 7, I can sync music from my library (Albums, etc...) without problem to USB Flash Sticks and micro SDHC card etc.  And I can copy Playlists on my MP3 player, no problem. However I can't copy playlists on any USB Flash stick or SDHC micro card. How is that possible?

    Hello

    ·         What is a normal playlist or AutoPlaylist?

     

    Method 1:

    Check if the sync settings are correct. To do this, follow these steps.

    a. open Windows Media Player.

    b. click the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device and then click Advanced Options.

    c. the Properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Tab sync, box start sync when device connects checkbox.

    d. restart the media player.

    e. the next time you want to sync, connect the device to your computer, click the Sync tab, and then click Start synchronization.

    For more information, please see the link below: set up a device to sync in Windows Media Player:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-device-to-sync-in-Windows-Media-Player

    Method 2:

    Add a device to sync in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

    a. start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box of "Windows Media Player ‑‑ Device Setup" appears, showing that he recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.

    (b) read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type the name of the device. If storage of the device is more than 4 gigabytes, for example, and your library on Windows Media Player fits on this device, the player chooses automatic.

    c. selection of automatic syncing means that your device will reflect all your Windows Media Player library and it will do so that whenever it is connected. Click on "Finish".

    d. to synchronize only some of your library when the player chose automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

    e. selection of a manual synchronization indicates that the player has detected that the portable device has no place for your entire library. Click on "Finish". Open Windows Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

  • Why isn't Windows Media Player DVD more play?

    I played DVD on my Windows XP Home edition before, he always played them very well, but then suddenly it stopped reading DVDs, everytime I put a DVD in (from the same DVD I used to play on the computer), all I get is a message that reads as follows:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    I don't know why he does not play the most, I've tried it on WinDVD and it only plays DVD when the movie is opened its files (in other words, I have to go "Playlist" then select the DVD drive and open the video folder and open all video files to it to play the movie...) I would really apprecate that it if someone could help me with this issue, at least let me know how to fix or what happened to the decoder or what...

    PS: When I run " dvdupgrd / detect' to see my status as a DVD player, the window that appears named, detected DVD decoders reads:" "

    "No decoders found.
