VHS to DVD on Windows DVD Maker

Should which device I plug my DVD player to the computer to convert my movies at home using Windows DVD Maker?

I have Windows Vista and you may not use the answer to another answer which requires Windows 2000 or XP.

I thought to buy a video capture device to help with the process, have a VCR, have my laptop and an external DVD burner if it's useful.  While doing research I read about creating Windows DVD and thought I could use it, but with the capture device is necessary.  It will help me to improve my video transfer or do I have to use one or the other?

Thanks for your help, in any way possible.

==========================================
A few options... good luck with your project.

Personally, I think that the best way to transfer VHS to DVD is to
Use a DVD/VHS recorder, but if you want to import the images...
and do a little editing see the links below.

The following link is just an example:
Recorder DVD/VHS Toshiba DVR670 with built in Tuner, black

And... material type can be worth a try:

  • Sending a video of home DVD for Windows Movie Maker

    I dubbed him all my old VHS to DVD videos.  Now, I'm trying to download a home DVD video that I created on my Sony HDMI DVD RDR-VX560 using Windows Movie Maker. When I click on the appropriate folder, however, it says "no items don't match your search.  Windows WILL read the DVD.  All the filenames end with. IFO. BUP.

    ======================================
    Copy the VOB files to a folder on your hard drive, then
    Convert it to .wmv format. Then you can import the
    file .wmv in Movie Maker.

    The following freeware can convert:

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

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (FWIW... you can uncheck
    all the boxes on the last screen)

    After downloading and installing Format Factory...
    Open the program and choose an output folder...
    (this is where you will find your files when they are
    converted)

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

    Select "At?" / OK...
    (the? is the format of your choice)

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

    That should do it...

  • Windows DVD Maker doesn't burn files .wmv/wlmp video high definition?

    Hey all,.

    Long time user WMM, but with the recent switch to Win7, I'm having a hard time with WLMM.  In short, create the movie in WLMM is a snap.  Burn a DVD quality is another story.

    I am using video clips high definition AVCHD from my new Sony CyberShot camera and showing the film on a Samsung 50 "720 p plasma.  If I burn a project WLMM created (Save Movie-> burn a DVD) and burn it in DVD maker, the quality is absolutely terrible on the plasma. It looks like an old VHS tape.  So, I guess the resolution 480 I saved is the problem.

    So, if I save the project with high-definition (720 p - 1280 x 720) in WLMM and try to extract this file in Windows DVD maker, I get the error "0 files have been added.  1 file could not be added.  The \xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx.wlmp file is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported. "How is it possible that Windows DVD maker cannot burn a file created by its sister product Windows Live Movie Maker?  Am I missing something here, trying to extract a file to DVD Maker WLMM, or is it not possible?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Just a thought...

    . WLMP is only the Live Movie Maker file... what happens if you save
    the Movie Maker project in the format video .wmv and then try to import
    in DVD Maker?

  • Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

    When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

    I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

    Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

    Hello

    the following things could probably help you with your problem:

    -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
    -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
    -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

    If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • M30X MultiDrive won't burn a DVD from Windows Movie Maker

    Hello

    My MultiDrive M30x will not burn the DVD from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.

    I also had problems with burning CDs (unbranded) of Windows XP, built in utility.

    The multidrive has problems with cheaper brand discs?

    Just to note,
    The laptop was to support guys three times until various issues.
    (1) the hard drive failed.
    (2) the multidrive has failed.
    (3) the motherboard replaced, due to power outages, it would not charge the battery, or recognize that the AC adapter is plugged.

    Note: The hard drive, not the fan made the most noise in mine!

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know (i.e. pre-installed burning software Save now, drag-and - drop) disabled the option of Windows XP burning. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you need to activate this possibility.
    Please, go to the properties of the drivers (right click). Please select the recording tab. CD recording option on this drive must be marked.
    I use the software Nero burning and in my opinion he of one of the best burning programs. In addition, you should try different manufacturers CD/DVD because some CD and DVD is not compatible with some readers. Check the TDK CD and DVD. I never had no problem with these media.

    Best regards

  • Windows Movie Maker, save my video on DVD

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker.

    I have Windows Movie Maker, I have XP Home + SP3, how do I save my video to DVD (I can use CD, why? * address email is removed from the privacy *)

    To burn a dvd, you need third-party software for dvd authoring, you should have something like nero or roxio installed with your dvd writer.
    Use this application to create a dvd-video disc.

  • Make another copy of the DVD from a DVD created from Windows Movie Maker

    My laptop was stolen recently and, with it, a slideshow (with audio) I had created on Windows Movie maker.  I have a disc I created after the completion of the project.  He plays very well on an external DVD drive.  However, when I download it on my new laptop or try to copy it to another disk, it does not copy as a movie.  It seems that it changes the formats and any copy I made will not play on an external DVD drive.  Is there a copyright protection or something embedded on discs created from Movie maker.  Any advice on how to make a playable copy would be appreciated.

    No copy protection is used.

    How are you trying to copy it?

    You will need something like roxio or nero and their software disc in copy, or import the movie in movie maker and then recreate the dvd disc again from scratch in your creation to dvd.

  • Is there a limit of 60 minutes, on images that Windows Movie Maker can record on a DVD?

    Windows Movie Maker says something like: "video may not match the disk.» Make sure you have only 60 minutes of video on storyboard table".  Is - this WMM all can handle?  It's a standard 4.7 GB DVD-R.

    ========================================
    In general... a 4.7 GB DVD will take 1 hour of high-quality video.

    Some DVD Authoring software uses compression to increase
    the duration.

    The following freeware might be worth a try... on the
    screen where you add files in the left column, there is a bar...
