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.

3. to turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.

See the link below for more information on the audio filters video\

    It may be interesting to try to publish (Save project)
    in the WMV in Movie Maker format... and then import
    the video file in DVD Maker WMV.
     
    It may help to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools /.
    Options / compatibility... tab and uncheck all filters.
    Try to view your DVD project once more...
    If she is still unable to read the entire file... There may be
    one or more source files in the project that are not
    fully compatible with Movie Maker... several times that
    Maybe a MP3 music file or video clip MPG.

    Or the project may be too large and/or complex
    for the resources of your system. Too many transitions
    and the effects can make a complex project. The fix
    because it is creating small projects.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Music - wma, wav, wmv

  • Windows DVD Maker-burned a video DVD reads with no sound

    Windows DVD Maker video playback errors

    I'm doing a movie on dvd, this used to before, but now what is happening that the sound is ok on video before I burn it but when I burned video disc has not all the sounds that it but image is perfect. When I put the audio backround with it, you can hear the noise at that, I put the disc burned 3 dvd recorders and a reader as well as the PS3 and PC, but have the same problem

    I talked to the Comet, which is where I got Hp desktop and I made them aware of it and said that I installed only 1 new program on pc and it was Vanbascos karaoke software. Could that be the issue. I was told to restore the computer to its factory with rercovery drive settings and see if problem persists

    Hi Uncle mango.

    1. don't you restore the computer back to factory settings?

    If you have not restored the computer to factory settings, we recommend that you restore the settings of Windows DVD maker to factory default settings such as audio and video filters sometimes cause this problem.

    Video and audio filters are programs that are installed on your computer that help interpret video files so that they will display and play correctly. Windows Movie Maker uses them when you import video and audio.

    To restore settings, try the following steps.
    A. open Windows DVD maker.
    B. click on tools, then click Options.
    C. click on the Compatibility tab.
    D. do one of the following:
    > To turn off a filter, clear the check box next to the name of the video filter.
    > To turn on a filter, select the check box next to the name of the video filter.
    > To restore the default list, click on restore all default values.
    E. restart DVD maker and burn a new DVD to check if the problem persists.

    When you restore the default settings, the list and the filters settings are given to the last known good setting.

  • Windows DVD Maker says "Not found DVD burner"?

    This is my first time doing a DVD, so I don't know what is happening. Initially, when I first add a video, I used to have a DVD burner in the menu bar, saying 'E' and I tried to make the video, but I think that it stopped working after 99% (I was out, so I don't know) and it ejected the DVD with nothing on it and began to say that there is a burner? The 'E' has disappeared. I don't know what happened to him what DVD writer am I supposed to have? Is it free?

    And I don't know much about computers (I wanted just to burn a video of me and my friends on a DVD) so please explain so I can understand :)

  • Windows DVD Maker will not play on the TV DVD player

    I have Windows Vista, and Windows Movie Maker to make a movie. I've published using Windows DVD Maker. I've made several copies and sent to various members of my family. While I was able to watch them when I tested them on my TV dvd player, none of my family members are able to watch their copies on their dvd players. In addition, when I insert the dvd in my computer's dvd player, it won't play either. How can I fix?

    Thank you. What I did just check "ffdshow" configuration and found that the codec for mp2 was disabled, so I let him. Now when I load the dvd into my computer it starts automatically.

    Now, my question is that I have to burn the new dvd for my family, so they can watch on their dvd player TV? Are their other codecs apart from that I have activated that must be adjusted so that DVDs can be found on other dvd players?

    ======================================
    You didn't say if you have a folder VIDEO_TS on the DVD...

    OK... you say you can play DVDs on your freestanding
    DVD player and on your computer. Startups that appears
    DVDs are fine and the problems of members of your family
    need to be cleared up on their end.

    One thing I would try would be to publish the project as a
    .wmv movie file in a folder on my hard drive. Then I'd
    the following freeware to create a video DVD. There are

  • Windows DVD Maker do not accept the wmv files error file is not supported.

    Hello

    I just downloaded a video on YouTube using the 'FreeYouTubeDownload' of DVDVideosoft software.  He managed to create a file wmv to me.  I know it works because when I click on the video file and click on 'play', Windows Media Player automatically opens and plays the video.  So far so good.

    I want to burn the file on a DVD.  When I open Windows DVD Maker, click on 'Add items' and click on the video file wmv, I get an error message saying that the file is not supported.

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium. This is my first time using DVD creation.  I checked the DVD Maker for filters, but there aren't any.  What gives?  WMV files are supposed to be supported by DVD Maker, Yes?  My DVD authoring program is defective?  Or is the file that the program created YouTubeDownloader defective?  I think not, because Windows Media Player does not play the video.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Following up on my own question.  Further investigation revealed that from other sources wmv files were working with DVD Maker.  Therefore, the wmv files, created by the freeware program that I used that were not compatible.  I then used the freeware program to create files avi instead, and they were working with DVD Maker.  I did my DVD and all is well.

    ===========================================
    Usually a single layer 4.7 GB DVD white held an hour of high
    quality video. With compression, some programs are capable of
    the extension of this period. I don't know exactly what is DVD Maker
    capable of in that regard I think 150 minutes it is really pushing.

    Large and complex projects usually cause problems. Best bet IMHO
    would be to create several small projects and publish (save) each
    a WMV format movie to a folder on your hard drive.

    Then import the WMV files collected in DVD Maker and each of them
    becomes a scene (chapter), you can have up to 18 scenes.

    Without a doubt... video editing and DVD burning can be a frustrating business.

    Good luck with your project.

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8, and now is not working my Windows DVD Maker. It is said that lack a codex. This application is not supported in Windows 8?

    Hi KenGLove,

    You need to install additional software to create discs of DVD movie ready for playback on a video DVD player.  I suggest you check the store or do a search with your favorite browser to find a.
