Windows DVD maker does not recognize not my DVD burner.

After I create a project and start to move forward through burning. I can't select a DVD burner from the drop tab on the first screen. If I try to burn just said that I did not choose a burner and when I come back I am still unable to choose as it still doesn't apear in the dropdown tab menu. How can I get this progam to recognize my DVD burner?

I already checked and updated my driver for the reader. I also burned some data (music) on a DVD and was able to play it through media player.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello mandyrose,

    Have you tried to uninstall the dvd via the Device Manager drive then restart PC to let Windows reinstall? You can do it. If the problem is still there, can give a try? It is a quick easy fix from Microsoft, here is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. You need to uninstall all third-party software (example: Roxio, Nero, or iTunes) from your computer before you make this correction. After you restart, you can reinstall your software and try again to see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, it could be a bad optical drive. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • Windows Movie Maker does not recognize my new Sony XR155E HD handycam.

    I bought a new XR155E Sony to replace my old Sony handycam. I used to connect Via firewire no problem. My new Cam lacks a firewire connection and has only an HDTV connection and USB connection. I connect the new handycam Sony XR155E HD via USB.

    Movie Maker won, t recognize the camera when I want to import the new camera. is there some way I can connect the Sony XR155E while Movie Maker will allow me to direct import from the camera. SONY software is useless when it comes to editing and cutting of elements. Also, I can CVCTVLY copy DVD Dick in Standard mode and not HD.

    Is ther a cable that will allow me to connect my FireWire to the computer in the small USB connection on the camera? Can I get a cable adopter? Help, please. Is there any good software that will pick up my camera Via USB and allow me to edit the video and sound?

    =====================================
    Your new Sony XR155E is a hard drive camcorder... Film
    Maker is designed to import via firewire mini-DV tapes.

    See the article by fpollowing:

    Windows Vista-
    Import video from a videotape
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/import-video-from-a-videotape

    I guess the best way would be to download a video
    folder on your hard drive, convert to a compatible format
    with Movie Maker and then edit.

    Or the Sony software might be worth a try:

    Hi, I have a. MSWMM file that does not work in the school's computers. I did at home and trying to open it up to the school. At home I can't publish it to .wmv. It is said that it can not be argued. Same thing at school, but at school, it is said that when I try to open it. Pleaes Help!

    Hi, I have a. MSWMM file that does not work in the school's computers. I did at home and trying to open it up to the school. At home I can't publish it to .wmv. It is said that it can not be argued. Same thing at school, but at school, it is said that when I try to open it. Pleaes Help!

    =================================================
    Just some general info...

    FWIW... the .mswmm file is just the Movie Maker project file is not
    include the source of files (videos, photos, music, etc...), it records the
    path to the location of origin... so even if you could open it on school
    computer would be useless unless you also had copies of all sources
    files.

    If you cannot publish the project .mswmm to .wmv movie format file
    on the system that created the view may be a problem with the compatibility
    the source files.

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

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

    Also... it may be interesting to try to open Movie Maker and go to... Tools / Options /.
    Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

    It is possible that your project is too large and too complex for your system resources.
    It may be interesting to try to create several small projects and publish each of them as
    a file separate .wmv video. Then import the collection of clips .wmv in Windows
    DVD Maker and each one becomes a scene (chapter). Also... you can re-import
    the collection of small files in Movie Maker .wmv and combine them into a single file.

    Ok.  I have a DVD that was made of a VHS tape.  There are several VOB files only when you open with Windows Media Player are still drop and are less than an hour long.  I want to take out of hours of video clips and post them to YouTube.  I used WIndows Movie Maker to edit my videos.  When I opened one of the videos with WMM, it will display only 14:41 the vidoes and not all of it.  I've seen the proposed changes to the MPG or WMV file extension.  I made a copy of one of the VOB files and renamed the extension to MPG.  Now when I play this copy of this file, as it is now is only 14:41.  He did the same thing when I tried to change WMV.  I need to know how to get the entire file appears in Movie Maker.  I tried to use Any Video Converter but it will show up only there as a 14:41 file as well.  I copied all the files on the DVD also.  There are two of them. BUP and two. It is of the IFO files.  Here are the videos from a friend of mine who was a boxer.  He passed away this summer and I want to download these videos in tribute to him.  Any help would be great.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the info.  I was think there later that day and I was wondering why when I play all the VOB's to he it's all the same hour on video.  So I opened the first with Movie Maker and added then the following for her, there were five in total.  After you have added all the he composed the entire hour long video.  All I had to do is then save it and now it is in WMV format so now I can modify it.  Thanks for your good help.

    =========================================
    Movie Maker has been designed to download from mini-DV cameras
    connected with FireWire... (they record at small cassettes... not
    flash drives)

    The best would be to download the video files in a folder on your
    hard drive... convert the WMV movie format and then import
    in Movie Maker.

    If you connect the camera via a cable USB and go to... My computer...
    It should be recognized as a drive. If it's... you can download it from
    there by copy and paste or drag and drop.

    Good luck...
