Windows DVD Maker won't add files.

I am running Windows 7. I made several DVD using Windows DVD creation without problem. Now, suddenly, no reason I can detect, it began to refuse to add files (first screen). It will not add files in any format - no .avi, .wmv. not, no matter what--but some files, in the same formats, it can still add. Files, it is impossible to add are more recent than those he can for the most part, but there is no other difference between the files other than dates they were created on. When I try to add a file, either via the button "Add files" or drag-and - drop, there is no error message is displayed. the program just hangs. I have converted the files in many and varied types and can not find any variation that works. As there is no error message displayed, I have no idea what is wrong. I already tried to solve the problem by turning off other video filters in the Compatibility tab, nothing helps. I also saw that Windows is all updated and otherwise functioning properly. I've been struggling with this problem for almost a week now. Any help would be most appreciated, thank you.

So, thank you very much for all your advice detailed and useful. I'm afraid that I don't know if this has solved my problem, because I have not even taken the penalty try to apply again. Instead I downloaded Freemake, used to burn my DVDs, and it has worked flawlessly. In fact, it fit more on my drive that Windows DVD Maker has never, which was an added bonus to one side. I am so thrilled to have this problem, if not solved (because I don't bother to see if I could), and then resolutely avoided. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Someone at - it suggestions? Internet research shows that there are people who have the same problems, but I don't know yet what are codecs and how to check if I have the vouchers.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello southcecile,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    The .vob file format is not a supported format file Windows DVD maker. You can try to convert the video files to a supported file format and then try to burn the DVD still. Windows DVD Maker supports digital video files in WMV or AVI container format.

  • Windows DVD Maker avi file is invalid or damaged

    I have a Toshiba Satellite and am running Vista Home Premium, 64-bit version. When I try to add files to Windows DVD Maker avi, I get an error message saying that the 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 installed ffdshow, but also mentioned in another reply vista codec pack. 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

  • 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!

    Music Windows DVD Maker problems

    Cannot get my downloaded music to be recognised by Windows DVD Maker, when I try to add to the slideshow.  Sample music (which came preloaded with the computer) is the only music he recognizes when I go to add music.  I guess it's a problem of recognition of format, but I don't know how to download in a format that will work.

    Might be worth trying to convert your music files to the
    format .wma before importing in creation of DVD.

    There are to many free converters available on the net...
    download from Koyotesoft is an example:

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

    Koyotesoft "Free MP3 WMA Converter".
    http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
    (FWIW if you install the converter, you can uncheck
    offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you can uncheck
    the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

    After installing the program... open and drag and drop
    your audio files on the main screen...

    Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
    "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
    files will be saved in the folder with the current files.

    Choose a format...

    Left, click Convert.

  • How reinstall/repair Windows DVD Maker? (Win 7 Home Premium) 'Add music' does not work

    I recently moved my music on an external hard drive folder to exclude images during the backup.

I brought back them to the location of origin, but when I go to 'ADD Music' button is not take me to get music files. I have a Windows disc or whatever it is with Windows DVD Maker Program on it. Will I need to buy a drive for Win 7 Windows to re - install this program?  A disc of Windows 7 will allow me to programs of "repair"?

  • 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:

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

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster download)
    (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...

    Good luck...

    Hi - I am using Windows DVD Maker. I selected a Menu Audio file (via the command button Customize Menu). He is much stronger that those of the audio from the video file it is essential. I can't change because it has several volumes adjusted in Windows Movie Maker.

    Is it possible somehow to reduce the volume of the audio file of the menu? Thanks for the tips!

    The same as my previous answer... prepare the
    files before importing in creation of DVD.

    You can convert video clips of the. WMV
    Format... import into Movie Maker... adjust
    the volume and re-check. Then import them into
    Creation of DVD.
