• Cannot open a project in Windows Movie Maker after the backup in Windows DVD Maker

  I imported with success of media in Windows Movie Maker, Movie published by using Windows DVD Maker as a guest just so that I could see how it would look.  I was able to view what I had engraved on a DVD and was very happy about how he already produces.  When I returned to Windows Movie Maker and tried to open my project to continue adding multimedia elements to it, I can't open it - it tells me that it is not a valid file in Windows Movie Maker.  Can find my project in My Documents in the category Videos, I'm still not able to open it.  I wonder if I shouldn't have saved in Windows DVD Maker.  I hope that I'm not "all over again.

  I would greatly greatly appreciate it if anyone can help.  It is a very special project for a class reunion.

  This is the first time I used a forum so I hope I've submitted it correctly.

  Thank you!

  NancyLouse,

  Windows DVD Maker and Movie Maker store files with different file extensions.  This means that if you named the file 'file Movie Maker' and the DVD Maker 'file' file the real file names would actually file. MSWMM and file. MSDVD

  To display the extensions on all the files follow these steps:
  -Click on the ORB to start and Control Panel
  -In Control Panel, click Classic view in the upper left corner
  -Click on Folder Options, click view
  -Scroll to "Hide Extensions for known Types file" and uncheck this box

  The search in the folder now where you saved these files or use the search function, you should see the 2 different files.

  What version of Windows are you using?  If the Windows Vista Ultimate and the file has been deleted somehow you can be lucky.

  Vista Ultimate is a feature called previous versions.  To restore the file back to it's previous state, you can do a right click on the folder where the document has been stored (if the Documents may start, right-click on Documents) then go to properties

  -Click the previous versions and you will see the dates corresponding to previous versions of the file you are looking at.
  -Select a date and time that corresponds to when the file in this folder was in operational condition and double-click the file to open it

  Find the file in the folder newly open and drag the file to your desktop (be sure not to drag to the exact location where the file was initially as not to overwrite the file).

  I hope this helps

• Windows DVD Maker avi file is invalid or damaged

I no for a fact that there is nothing wrong with the file they open and play very well in one of my players and the same exact files were burned using create DVD Windows on an another Toshiba Satellit (owned by my brother) I was serching hollow these forums for a few weeks now trying things that have worked for other people.

I have also run the sfc/scannow command in the prompt nd at the end he told me that the corrupted files have been found, but not all of them could be fixed. I have no no that much about computers of operation but I suspect that it is a bigger problem then just DVD Maker because when I try to put these files in Movie Maker, they're fine, but then when you play them or drag them to the timeline is no sound or picture. I've only had this computer for a few months and reallly wish I can use DVD Maker because all I have not use it and really like it. Please help me

• . Treated AVI as Audio in Movie Maker and corrupt in Windows DVD Maker.

  I have a lot of. AVI files I want to burn to a DVD.  I do not have another series of. Notice to try with these programs to see if it's just them.

  Windows Movie Maker treats as Audio files, I tried to disable compatibility filters.  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

  Creating Windows DVD said me:

  0 files were added successfully.

  File (s) X could not be added.

  The files

  [Name of file]

  is not valid or is corrupted.

  I tried this on two computers to Vista.

  I tried to convert the files with "Any Video Converter", but there is a substantial loss of the quality of .wmv and mpeg conversion.

  I tried "of Aimersoft DVD Creator' trial, but video lags behind audio when I play the video in this program.  The videos show very well "Media Player Classic Home Cinema".

  How can I fix these files. AVI or convince Movie Maker and DVD Maker to care for them properly?

  Thank you j of volunteering.

  I used Freemake for one of the .avi files convert an .avi file. This increased the size of the file by more than 300% no change in quality.  Windows Live Movie Maker considers the new .avi properly, but not creating Windows DVD or Windows Movie Maker, they still refuse to import or use it as audio, respectively.

  I have converted the new .avi to .wmv with Freemake file and it seems that the quality is actually improved from the original. Windows DVD Maker will accept this new .wmv.

  I'll convert others, burn and return with the results for the benefit of anyone else who has this problem.

  Convert .avi .avi files then .wmv and burn with Windows DVD Maker have exceptional results.  As seen on TV quality is slightly better than the quality of the original .avi files on the computer.  Don't know what attribute this too, but I'm pretty happy.
  Sorry for the late reply, but it took time to convert, convert, burn and test.

  Thank you very much for the help.

• Created with Windows DVD Maker DVD will not play in DVD Toshiba player!

  I just finished creating a dvd in Windows DVD Maker. He played very well on the PC and burn to my DVD - R Memorex without problem.  However, now that he's in my Toshiba DVD player, nothing happens.  I have a black and white screen with down right a small square box, color.  No display of numbers on reading DVD player.  The Toshiba site indicates that it should play DVD-r.  Need of this DVD to a presentation in a few days.  What's wrong???!!!

  what I had to do was to convert the file to an AVI file that I was able to do as part of the utility of movie maker, and then import the file into a dvd creator software utility called (dvd Creator free 2) and then I could read in my dvd player. It is a download free .you corresponds to the URL if you want to give it a try http://www.minidvdsoft.com/dvdcreator/ hope this helps.

• Edition file Windows Movie Maker as my Windows DVD Maker solution get an error unspecified 1.6% each time?

  I can't publish my holiday video (multiple files linked together by me in Windows Movie Maker with title screens before each clip and music) as Windows DVD Maker claims an unspecified error of 1.6% each time. I changed the output directory, but that did not help. Also, when in Movie Maker / a lot of DVD Maker icon stream through the bar near the clock, some white with small print out and some red with "Ffv", which I can only think fact obstacle to the whole process!

  I was wondering if I could download it my Windows Movie Maker in another free DVD file, making the software and if you have any suggestions?
  Thank you

  Last reply first... No, are the Movie Maker project files
  not compatible with other video editing software.

  You are running Windows or Vista Movie Maker 6
  Live Movie Maker?

  It is possible that your project is too complex for
  your system resources but it is more than likely
  some of your files source (Photos, video Clips,
  Audio clips) are not fully compatible with Windows
  Movie Maker.

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

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv
  Audio - wav, wma, wmv

  Conversion to formats compatible before importing
  in Movie Maker may be the solution.

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converter is just one example:

  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup290.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the final screens)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag > FFSetup290.exe< out="" of="" the="">
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

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

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

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

  That should do it...

• Why the version of Windows 7 to Windows DVD Maker product a blurry video of Windows Live Movie Maker?

  When I do a DVD (using Windows DVD Maker) of a film produced by Windows Live Movie Maker photos are blurred and contained very low quality video.  The photos that I use in the project are very sharp, as is the video that I use in the project.

  The movie makes WLMM project is strong on the computer but when it is published on the DVD in Windows DVD Maker it produces a result blur this film as seen on the computer and any DVD player.  It's nothing to do with transitions because the film WLMM is strong.  Other DVD manufacturers produce a sharp image of the film WLMM even, but I prefer the way Windows DVD Maker makes the DVD with scenes, etc...

  The problem seems to lie with the WLMM. creating Windows DVD DVD movie conversion - are they incompatible?  This seems to happen with the version of Windows 7, everything worked fine with versions of Vista on my old computer.  I find it very frustrating to have this return back.  Please suggest a solution.  The version of WLMM is Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3502.0922); I can't find a version number for Windows DVD Maker.

  Update:

  Thanks to Irfan for a potential solution.  I did another DVD with all the filters off but unfortunatey it made no difference.  Having had another close watch the DVD video, the problem is to double everything up like a photo on a slow speed where you have shaking of the camera.  In particular, a girl with wire rim glasses has a rim double wire and even a girl with hair each double strand.  When further looked at what gives the appearance of an image finery.  Again, I must say that the film from which the DVD-video has been done had this failure and from DVD of this film by any other manufacturer of DVD Windows DVD Maker does not exhibit this problem.  The operating system is Windows 7.

  Hello Charley Farley,

  1. What is the operating system installed on your computer?

  You may experience this problem of there are incompatible filters installed on your computer. I suggest that you turn off the filters and check if you have the same problem.

• Windows DVD Maker DVD I made has all the VOB files and I need my JPG files that I used to do (lost laptop hard drive)

  My sister-in-law stored a bunch of pictures and some movies on a portable player and she came to my computer.

  After inserting a blank DVD by clicking the promt to make a DVD using Windows DVD Maker, we now have a great slideshow and it includes pictures and two videos.

  now, I want to use the jpg to a diferent app photos and she lost the portable hard drive that she used to create

  Is it possible to 'come back the jpg' of the 'film' this DVD maker made? There is nothing else that VOB files now but I know that the JPG is somewhere... Laughing out loud

  ==================================
  Long message... I hope the info is useful:

  VOB (as you know) is the DVD video format.

  You can not convert video to a format of photo as
  .jpg and retrieve your original images. And...
  None... copies of original source files are not
  archived anywhere on the DVD.

  A method (and probably not near what you)
  hope) would be to make the screenshots
  (capture) video. The resolution and
  sharpness of the capture will not equal
  the originals.

  The free VLC Media Player can read your
  VOB files.

  VLC Media Player
  http://www.videolan.org/

  For the installer for your screen Capture... Open VLC and
  Reach... Tools / Preferences / video button / video
  Instant image section.

  In the directory field... Search for and select a folder
  to save your captures po (for example... you could
  Create a new folder on your desktop and select)

  TO... Prefix... check the box... Sequential numbering.

  TO... Format, choose JPEG or PNG.

  Finally... on the left, click on the Save"" button.

  Now... Play the video and pause by pressing on your
  SPACEBAR when you see a screen you want to capture.

  To capture the screen... type...  SHIFT + S

  Press space to advance to the next photo...
  ect... etc...

  A possibility may be 'Solution B' in the
  next article:

  "Excerpt from photographs of wedding DVD videos.
  for printing.
  http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/02/extract-still-photographs-from-wedding.html

  Word to the wise... If you use a software that will
  extract frames from the video... be aware that thousands
  photos can be made and you can fill in all
  your free space until you realize.

  Good luck...

• Why does the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) stop Windows DVD maker work & burn a DVD of my videos?

  My operating system is Windows Vista.  I used Movie Maker to make of my recordings of camcorder home movies, but when I try to burn a DVD with Windows DVD Maker, the program closed its doors with an error message - Data Execution Prevention (DEP) has apparently stopped the program for preventing possible dangers for my computer, maybe because he was "bad memory usage".  I tried to turn off DEP for this program, but it won't let me.  How to work around this problem?

  NB I have not used the DVD maker for about 20 months, but it worked fine then!

  Hello

  The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
  1st.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
  machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

  not better?

  Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)
  http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

  Startup programs
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
  unusual with Prevx market except for an occasional cookie of low level (not a big deal), update it, then
  run as a scanner.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  I would add prevx so.

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

  AH HA!

  The culprit is a virtual CD drive.  I have an installed application and allows me to mount a disk image file (.) (ISO) as a virtual drive.  When I have a virtual disk mounted, I get error VC ++, but when I eject the virtual disk, so there is no more virtual drives, DVD Maker is happy.
