Windows Live movie maker to dvd maker problem?

Question

WHen i tell mm to create a dvd from my edited video it tells me the video length is too long for a standard dvd, it advises me to use a dual layer dvd for burning, AND it asks me to continue anyway, i cliked yes, and i assume it would load up dvd maker, but it does not. There is no error message or anything. I tried loading up dvd maker myself and trying, but it says dvd maker is already open and tells me to close it and retry. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The REAL problem is your video IS way too long! Do NOT "continue anyway".



Edit your video's length down until it can fit on a single layer DVD (< 4.7 GB). Remove all unnecessary effects, transitions, similar or redundant clips, audio, etc. Then, WMM can burn it to DVD for 'sharing' with others, or to pass it to DVD Maker, which is completely different, as explained in WMM's Help files.



Or, you can use the DVD burning app in Windows Media Center (<< this is a hint!). Just close it, and re-open it there.

Answer 2

In my opinion the best software to burn CDs/DVDs is Ashampoo Burning. It's a free software and it can be downloaded here: http://j.mp/1sW2j62



If you want to make a DVD that will work on a common DVD player, you definitely need a burning software. Copying the movie as is directly to a new DVD it's not the right way to do it (If you do so your DVD player will not be able to play the video/movie properly).

The most reliable DVD burning program I used it Ashampoo Burning. It works with all types of videos and music (both with DVDs and CDs). Ashampoo is a very modern and professional software (you can also edit videos and create DVD menus)

Answer 6

If you plan on taking the project - and not a video - to school on the USB, all the clips and music you plan to use has to be put onto the Flashdrive before you begin the project. The project only links to clips and music so if they are on your computer when you create the project, the links are going to be to your computer and not to the flashdrive.

Answer 7
