Not able to add music downloaded to Windows DVD maker slide show

Music Windows DVD Maker problems

Cannot get my downloaded music to be recognised by Windows DVD Maker, when I try to add to the slideshow.  Sample music (which came preloaded with the computer) is the only music he recognizes when I go to add music.  I guess it's a problem of recognition of format, but I don't know how to download in a format that will work.

==========================================
Might be worth trying to convert your music files to the
format .wma before importing in creation of DVD.

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

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

Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
(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
files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

Choose a format...

Left, click Convert.

  • Add music to my windows movie maker

    I am trying to add music to windows movie maker, I made photo slides. Mp3 Music (s) I tried adding wouldn't let me.  He said that the music cannot be imported, unspecified error.  Any suggestions

    It will be you can add other music not .mp3 files?  These .mp3 files will play for you in other applications such as Windows Media Player?

    Load MOVIE maker and go to Tools / Options / tab to check codec compatibility.  Try with just the selected AVI compressor.

    I have Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and use all the time so decided to make my first slideshow. I want to add music from my itune library which is on the same pc.  When I click on 'Add media' I have 2 choices: add audio to audio file Organizer or Ad.  I can only add music organizer sample (I don't know how to get my music in to the Organizer) or music sample of music from my PC folder.  He won't get the music in my iTunes library.  I created a nice slide show, but it's nothing without the music.

  • How to add TITLES staged using Windows DVD Maker?

    There are many instructions on how to burn a DVD. The problem is my scenes appear with no title and I want to add a little. What are the specific steps to take to achieve this? Or is it simply not possible in this program?

    John, thank you for your 3 links above. Unfortunately, they are essentially the same, but worse yet, none of them address in any way, how to add titles to the scene. Yes, there are instructions on how to rename the BUTTON SCENES, but it's not what interests me in practice. I want to quote the SCENES themselves that appear when I click the scenes button.

    Is it still possible? (My guess is that it is not.) It's very frustrating, because it is a fairly basic need.

    I burned three videos on one DVD - each with very subtle differences.  Now each of them appears in the area of scenes from the DVD as a kind of "film reel icon" with no title/label associated with each, so they look identical, leaving me to guess who is who. Let me label them so that I don't have to click on each one and shows him through know exactly that one I selected in the menu scenes.

    ==========================================
    Sorry for wasting your time.

    It might be worth a try to publish (save) each video clip as a
    video file .wmv separate in Movie Maker... each with she is has a unique

    Creation of DVD.

  • 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?

    RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge

    Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

    Excerpt:
    iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

    To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
    The description of its creator:
    MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

    Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

    Best thing: it's free.

    convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

    You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
    To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
    1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
    2. click on the button "import settings".
    3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
    4. click OK and go back to your music library
    5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
    6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
    7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
    8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
    9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
    10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library

    11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

    NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

  • 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.
