Windows DVD Maker Gets the error with a .avi file - the file C:\\...avi is not valid or is corrupted.

I try to use Windows DVD Maker and copy/convert a file .avi on a DVD and get the following error message when I try to add a .avi file to the queue.  I tried this on multiple .avi files:

****************************************************

0 items added successfully

1 file could not be added

The C:\\...avi file is not valid or is corrupted.

****************************************************

Also, I must stress that I have no problem looking at one/play the file on my computer, so I don't think that the file itself is really corrupted.

I have not downloaded another software to help 'fix' this problem.

This is my first time you try to use this software to create a DVD...

Please advise on what I can to help resolve this problem!

Thank you-

  • Windows DVD Maker error message unknown

    This is a frustrating problem I have with Windows DVD Maker that no one can seem to explain. I have a new computer, less than a month, running Windows 7. I tried to burn clips of film on DVD for various friends and family. I have finished 3 or 4 DVD with success. All of a sudden, during the burning process, I get to a point approximately 0.3 to 0.4 percent encoded when I get an error message that the DVD cannot be done due to an unspecified error. All that fresh, new, with the package of disk I'm trying to use ends up with the same message. The clips have not changed, filters have not changed, settings have not changed, I just did with some success without problem, now, all of a sudden, it cannot burn discs more. That's happened?  What should I do about it?

  • 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 is not compatible with Windows 8?

    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.

    However, you can still use Windows 8 to write data to DVD without additional software disks.

    I hope this helps!

    Choose one of your avi files, use a video converter, change it to WMV format.
    Add the WMV to dvd creation. He accept?

  • Windows DVD maker goes to 99% and stops

    I'm trying to burn a DVD of a family film, that I have edited in Windows movie maker. It goes to windows DVD maker, get to 99% and stops. I ran Mats_Run.dvd.exe microsoft fix and no problem. Is it possible to fix this program?

    Do you want to do one thing first?
    Use your movie maker and publish the movie on that computer. He's going to get published?
    If this also fails, it means that some files you imported are not supported by the Director.
    If the Director will not accept them either only DVD maker.

    If you use google for formats of files supported by Windows Movie Maker, you will have a longer list than what I show you below. I stick to my list because they are the most reliable:
    Video files: WMV. (There are different types of AVI formats. Some work, some don't. If I am lazy).
    Picture files: jpg, png, bmp
    Audio files: wav, wma
