MP3 and Windows DVD Maker

I have a frustrating situation with DVD Maker. Includes a drop-down list of the types of audio files that can be used: *.wma; *.MP3; *.mp2, *.wav
However, if I included an .mp3 file, I get "cannot create overview.". If I start the burn, after a few minutes it stops with "an error has occurred", without any indication of the nature of the error.
If I remove the .mp3, preview and burn continue and produce a beautiful slideshow.
Is this a "bug" in the creation of Windows 7 DVD? I have just a few defective mp3? [They have been downloaded from Amazon.com-and - play in WMP without problem.]
I might add that .wma and .wav files work with DVD Maker.

. MP3 files can be problematic and the best bet is
to convert to the. Before importing WMA format
in creation of DVD.

There are to many converters available on the net...
the following freeware is an example.

Proceed at your own risk *.

  • . Treated AVI as Audio in Movie Maker and corrupt in Windows DVD Maker.

    I have a lot of. AVI files I want to burn to a DVD.  I do not have another series of. Notice to try with these programs to see if it's just them.

    Windows Movie Maker treats as Audio files, I tried to disable compatibility filters.  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    Creating Windows DVD said me:

    0 files were added successfully.

    File (s) X could not be added.

    The files

    [Name of file]

    is not valid or is corrupted.

    I tried this on two computers to Vista.

    I tried to convert the files with "Any Video Converter", but there is a substantial loss of the quality of .wmv and mpeg conversion.

    I tried "of Aimersoft DVD Creator' trial, but video lags behind audio when I play the video in this program.  The videos show very well "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".

    How can I fix these files. AVI or convince Movie Maker and DVD Maker to care for them properly?

    Thank you j of volunteering.

    I used Freemake for one of the .avi files convert an .avi file. This increased the size of the file by more than 300% no change in quality.  Windows Live Movie Maker considers the new .avi properly, but not creating Windows DVD or Windows Movie Maker, they still refuse to import or use it as audio, respectively.

    I have converted the new .avi to .wmv with Freemake file and it seems that the quality is actually improved from the original. Windows DVD Maker will accept this new .wmv.

    I'll convert others, burn and return with the results for the benefit of anyone else who has this problem.

    Convert .avi .avi files then .wmv and burn with Windows DVD Maker have exceptional results.  As seen on TV quality is slightly better than the quality of the original .avi files on the computer.  Don't know what attribute this too, but I'm pretty happy.
    Sorry for the late reply, but it took time to convert, convert, burn and test.

    Thank you very much for the help.

  • Windows DVD maker goes to 99% and stops

    I'm trying to burn a DVD of a family film, that I have edited in Windows movie maker. It goes to windows DVD maker, get to 99% and stops. I ran Mats_Run.dvd.exe microsoft fix and no problem. Is it possible to fix this program?

    Do you want to do one thing first?
    Use your movie maker and publish the movie on that computer. He's going to get published?
    If this also fails, it means that some files you imported are not supported by the Director.
    If the Director will not accept them either only DVD maker.

    If you use google for formats of files supported by Windows Movie Maker, you will have a longer list than what I show you below. I stick to my list because they are the most reliable:
    Video files: WMV. (There are different types of AVI formats. Some work, some don't. If I am lazy).
    Picture files: jpg, png, bmp
    Audio files: wav, wma

  • 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!

    Hi girl Jeffs.

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: This question could be associated with video filters in windows movie maker:

     

    Create a movie with reporters off and then try to publish

    To turn off the filters, follow these steps:

    In windows movie maker

    1. click on Toolsand then click Options.

    2. click on the compatibility tab.

  • Windows DVD Maker DVD I made has all the VOB files and I need my JPG files that I used to do (lost laptop hard drive)

    My sister-in-law stored a bunch of pictures and some movies on a portable player and she came to my computer.

    After inserting a blank DVD by clicking the promt to make a DVD using Windows DVD Maker, we now have a great slideshow and it includes pictures and two videos.

    now, I want to use the jpg to a diferent app photos and she lost the portable hard drive that she used to create

    Is it possible to 'come back the jpg' of the 'film' this DVD maker made? There is nothing else that VOB files now but I know that the JPG is somewhere... Laughing out loud

    ==================================
    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...

    Might be worth trying to convert your music files to the

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

    (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

  • Windows DVD Maker - a section will not play music

    I used Windows DVD Maker to create a photo slideshow. I downloaded music and for some reason there is a break in the music after the second song. In the end, the last sang the fade in unfinished is not because there are not enough audio files. It works wonderfully for previews, until I checked the box to get the match audio and video to the top of the calendar. I tried to delete all the audio files and download them once again, but this is the same area without noise. I also "unchecked" to have the photos and audio to the height.

    Hi Jill,

    1. which is the file format of the audio file? What is .mp3?

    2. it worked before?

    There could be some compatibility issues when playing .mp3 files in Windows DVD Maker.

    Method 1: Check if the audio and video filters are causing this issue.
