Burn Vid to DVD

[AApple]

:help: So here's the deal....I have a ton of video that I want to put on a DVD, so it will play in a DVD player, not just on a computer. I have "Windows DVD Maker", but it ain't workin. It gets to about 98% done, and I get an error message. Doesn't matter if I try one vid, or 10. The vids I have are .wmv or .avi files. Is there a way to do this, or am I just screwed? Is there some other kind of "converter" program I need to convert these to a different file? :headscratch:

oh...and remember...I'm just a dum ol mek-a-nek...gotta keep it simple....and in English.... :smilie_happy:

The only converter program I have now will do these types...

i think it needs converted to a different format to work on the home dvd player. i've no idea which just now. Might try a search at downloads.com?

The format I have been using is MP4 for DVD's. I have digital software that came with my camera that converts for me. I also have a VHS to DVD burner that sets up in MP4 for the DVD.

:head bang: :rant: :Awe:
The files ARE MP4 files to start with, but they won't play with the Windows media player...so I converted them to .wvm and/or .avi.... :rant:
I'll try a couple of the ones I haven't converted, and see how that works.... :thanks:

Windows blank DVD destroyer.....Yeah...I had the same problem years ago. It's why I moved to Mac :smilie_happy:

I have since moved back to Windows and using AVS also.

Otay...so which AVS product would I need? I don't see anything that will work with with a .wvm file.... :headscratch:

You buy the full package with all the software.
Each one is downloaded separately in the package price.

What you'r looking for is the video converter.

Otay....so Windows Vid maker don't play nice with .mp4 files, either. :sensored: I discovered that some of the older vids I have used a .mpg file, so I tried that...and it works. Transfers to DVD and play just fine. I am now converting a few more vids to .mpg files, and see if I can get this friggin job done a little at a time. I did make copies of all of the vids before converting them, just in case, so I'll still have the original files. Yeeesh...what did I get meself into? oh2: oh2:

I had the same issue.
I think Movie Maker consists of two parts. Movie making and DVD burning.
I had to use Windows Movie Maker to generate avi/wmv files then use the DVD burning part.
Avi/wmv files generated by other apps makes DVD burning fail it seems. So annoying!
