Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive

Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER?  I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?

Hi BrookeMcCulley,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs.  You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.

You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.

  • Windows Movie Maker - music is not playing little matter what I do

    I'm making a movie for my best friend for her birthday. I'm trying to use some of our favorite songs as background music. I'm going to and upload music and it is important, but when I put it in the movie and I play it, no music plays. I know that the film plays because my images in the film show the way they are supposed to. The volume on my computer is in place, and I went through all the audio levels and volume. I went upstairs, hit the clip and have a level of hihgh audio in the editing mode, I hit chronology and went to sound levels, and it is up. I even checked the properties of the songs I am trying to use, and they present themselves as a .mp3. When I went on google and other things to see what could be the problem, a page said that even if the music is in .mp3 form and other forms that work with Windows Movie Maker, they can simply not work. However, some of the songs I am using, I have used in other films I've done, and they do not work yet. So I don't understand what the problem is, and I've checked everything. Is there something that I don't check? Help, please! I really need to solve this problem, because I use movie maker for both school projects, and this movie would be amazing as a birthday gift.

    Hi monkeygurlsurfs,

    If you get the sound from your pc in other programs, the problem is not hardware. Did you of updates or Windows updates or any software installed since the last time that your audio worked? Usually, if the audio doesn't work, is it a device driver conflict. Make sure you have the updated driver for your sound card from the manufacturer's website. Also, check your device manager to see if the audio device appears normal (no yellow exclamation point). You can try to perform a check of the filesystem (CFS) to see if there are any corrupt files that Windows can correct:

    The System File Checker tool:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1 click on Start -> click on all programs -> click on Accessories -> - click on command prompt, Select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    2. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow .

    3. when the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on Finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Try these procedures and let us know how you do. If you're still having problems, we will be happy to help you further.

  • Windows Media Player 11 will not play video

    Windows Media Player 11 will not play DVD-video or video files from a SD card.  I tried several update codec options, but none were successful, including the option offered by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx?displang=en).  Windows tells me that a more recent update has been installed and refuses to go forward.

    Hi RonMcCulloch,

    ·         You receive an error message or error code?

    ·         What is the type of file you are trying to play?

    ·         The DVD I get recognized by the computer?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    In the meantime, you can try to reduce hardware acceleration, and see if it resolves the problem. (Only if your video card supports hardware acceleration)

    a. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, and then under appearance and personalization, click adjust screen resolution.

    b. click on settings Advanced , the Troubleshooting tab and then click change settings.

    c. move the hardware acceleration slider toward none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

    d. click OKand then click restart now.

  • Windows Movie Maker & DVD Maker stop responding when you import a .avi file

    Help, please.

    The two Windows Movie Maker DVD Maker & allow me to import .avi files I ask, but then I get a message that the program has stopped working. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I a novice in computer science.

    Thank you.

    Tommy

    Hello

    ·        Have you been able to import before avi files to your Windows movie maker and the creation of DVD?

    ·        You are able to import another file without any problem format?

    Try to import another file type (format) and check if the problem persists.

     

    Step 1:

    Damaged codec is often a cause of crashes with Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker.

    If possible, use a program to convert your Windows Media movies first and then try to import it.

    Step 2:

    If the movie maker was working properly before, I suggest you to reset the windows movie maker settings. Follow the steps in the article mentioned below.

  • Windows movie maker error "codec to play the file is not installed on your computer."

    Windows media player

    I get the following error message when you try to add music to a slide show in windows movie maker... The file cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.  How do I find the codec file and how can I install it?

    There is more than probably a compatibility problem wiith
    the file format music.

    Try to convert the music file to the. WMA format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

  • Windows Movie Maker - file invalid / not found

    I made a movie a few weeks previously registered, get in there a few days later and made more copies. Today, I tried again and I keep getting a message that the file is not valid. I tried opening upward in the creation of DVD and it keeps saying that it has failed. I tried the suggestion of unlicking the box under the sign that says (hide extensions of known file types) - which didn't work. I tried opening the film again and all my imported data is there... just not the movie itself...

    Help, please!

    Yes, it's the same information I read in other forums. I closed the movie maker and tried to reopen the case. I always get an error message that is not valid. I can't find any other file that does not end in MSWMM. After that I closed the error message. All data are available in the media imported section, but the Council of the timeline or history is completely empty / blank - but I know that he was saved several times...

    If the film itself has disappeared... is there a way I can get it back?

    ===========================================
    If you cannot open the MSWMM file in Movie Maker file must
    be damaged. Best bet would be to recreate the project.

    As for the movie... unless you have published (saved) project in the
    Film WMV or AVI format... it was never a real movie file.
    (this would be a clip that would play in Windows Media Player
    and could be shared with others)

  • Windows Media Player 12 will not play or burn music CDs!

    Running Windows 7 Home Premium-Windows Media Player will play a DVD but will not play an audio CD, which begs the question: why it does not burn the CD using Roxio Burn (which just sits there doing nothing) just like WMP 12.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and suggestions in this forum, but nothing is done.  Microsoft has really any solution of constantly failing to player?  In addition, reinstalled my computer back to the State factory and Media Player STILL will NOT play or burn music CD.  Hello, Microsoft, I would rather download Media Player 11, which at least has worked, so tell me how to get that back.  Thank you.

    Are normally given CD detected?
    If not, the problem is probably with the drive itself - CD and DVD is access differently if we wouldn't necessarily affect each other.

    Hi rpwerner,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful.  Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.

    You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

    NOTE:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
