| Vista Home Premium 32bit | DVD playback I conquered Moviemaker and burned a movie to DVD using my downloaded slides. It played on our TV/DVD player just fine. When I used the same slides, added music, burned the new movie to DVD, none of the TV/DVD players that I have tried it on recognize the DVD. Any ideas?? |

Are you saying the only difference was the addition of the music file? Maybe the music file has compatibility issues with Movie Maker: File type compatibility with Movie Maker http://tinyurl.com/v8tee or... http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutor...patibility.htm -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: DVD playback Thanks for your help, John. Yes, the files worked OK until I added audio. I checked the sites you recommended and, per the caveat that the program works best with WMA audio files (among others), checked this. My audio files are in WMA format; slides are jpegs. Am not certain where to proceed from the sites since I'm not a computer guru. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. hpdr |

You may have noticed that JPEGs can sometimes cause issues but since the first project was successful...I'm guessing that's not the problem. It may be worth a try to convert the .wma audio files to .wav. Actually you could even try converting them to .wma because the converter will use different codecs. The following freeware may be worth a try: SUPER © Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER (the mirror download site is faster) Did you Publish your project first as a Movie before attempting to create the DVD? Windows Vista - Publish a movie in Windows Movie Maker http://tinyurl.com/2lo4gp or... http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...8cdf21033.mspx Then you could burn your .wmv movie file to a DVD: Windows Vista - Burn pictures and movies to DVD-Video disc using Windows DVD Maker http://tinyurl.com/3xtcfs or... http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...a60261033.mspx Good luck. -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |
