• Burning DVDs with Windows Media Center

  Why does take so long to burn a dvd of a movie that I recorded with Windows Media Center Vista?

  Is there another way to upload videos/movies recorded with Windows Media Center on a dvd?

  I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64.

  What determines how long it will take to burn the DVD?

  The following factors play a role in how long it will take to burn a DVD:

  • Available system resources on your computer. The speed of your computer processor, the amount of available disk space and amount of RAM play a role in determining how long it will take to encode the video and burn it to a DVD.

  • The speed of your DVD burner, as well as the type of recordable DVD media you are using. A faster DVD burner with faster recordable DVDs results in a decreased once burning, compared to burning a DVD with a DVD burner slower more slowly the recordable DVD.

  • The length of the video on the DVD. When you use Windows Media Center to create a DVD, all the video and audio must be converted to a file format audio and video that a DVD player can decode and play. Long videos take longer to burn.

    You can include digital images and music on the DVD when creating a slide show. Photos and music are encoded in the MPEG-2 and Dolby audio, Digital video format and consequently, they will increase the time it takes to create and burn slide show DVD.

  Mandatory.

  You can set it to save the screenshot to the folder of
  your choice in the format of your choice and all what you
  is press SHIFT + S.

• Can't burn data DVD on Windows Media Player

  So, the thing is, in the drop-down list on Windows Media Player, where it is supposed to be written 'CD or data DVD' in the 'Burn' section, there is only the option "data CD". Reading through the internet I can't find an answer on this error. First of all, I'm sure that my DVD drive can burn the DVD, I have a lot of DVD burned on other programs, but the Windos Media Player is the best option to save my music library prety and though I can use other programs that I wanted to use Windows Media Player.

  PS: I don't have that 1 driver CD/DVD in my PC.

  Hi Barbara,

  You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.

• When I play a DVD on Windows Media Player I get almost no noise through the external speaker on my laptop

  Original title: no volume when playing DVDs

  When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

• No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

  WMA crashed

  I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

  What are my options? Thank you!

• DVD in Windows Media Center

  In a previous question, I asked where I could buy an installation DVD containing Windows Media Center for Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.  One person responded with information about obtaining a Windows 7 DVD.

  Media Center comes on one DVD Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, or on a separate DVD?  If on a separate DVD, anyone know where I can buy one (with legitimate key)?

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player

  1. No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player.

  Media Center recently stopped working altogether, the message alleges a solution will be found, but he never comes to the top with one and there seems to be no resolution right ahead of internet, I can see others too have a similar problem.

  So I would try Media Player, no joy it is thinking.

  It reads the dvd no sound, I go into options and make sure the external emu sound card is set, yes all well, but as soon as I put it on youtube videos sound turns off by train to play media player so a sort of conflict, if I close Opera / chrome browser and reopen his is back.

  Update or reinstall the drivers for the sound card in Device Manager, checking the PC or Support Downloads Web page of the card for more recent or different driver.

  Physically, reinstall the sound card to make sure that the contacts and the slots are clean and tight connections.

  If you have an audio chip embedded, try to use it to compare.

  Try the VLC media player to see if it has the same problem.

  Have you updated flash player for your browser?

  Try another browser to compare.

  Establish a clean boot, check for infection and then run the System File Checker of the steps in troubleshooting for Windows 7

  For irreparable system files, run a repair facility.

  It's much lower plant?  If so Clean Up Factory Bloatware and consider to go from worst to best with...

  Maybe it's time for a clean reinstall Windows 7?  The steps in the link provide the best possible installation.

  Report on the results of other ideas.
