I recently finished a "movie" complete with music track. Bravo.
Trouble is the cd that I copied to will only play on my pc (Windows
XP program) not in my dvd player that I use in the living room. Do I
need to record on a different type of cd to resolve this or is it the
setting that I choose when I copied it? Could it be the dvd is not
set up for that. BTW...dvd is Kodak picture assesible, will show pics
on a cd but not with a music trak. Help me if you can....Director in
the making...thanks.
=============================
To play a movie on a DVD player...you
need software that can create a VCD...
(this assumes you do not have a DVD
burner...then you might create a DVD)
First you would save your Movie Maker
project to a folder on your hard drive as
a movie...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
To save as an .avi movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Next...you need to import the completed
..wmv or .avi movie file into a software
program that will create a VCD. Most
DVD players will play a VCD...check
the manual for your DVD player for
compatibility. A VCD is a Video Disk
created on a CD instead of a DVD.
I've had success with a program called
'InterVideo WinDVD Creator'...there are
many others...'NeroVision Express'...is
another example. The main thing is the
program must be able to create a VCD
from a .wmv or .avi video file.
