The boxes to uncheck are in Windows Movie Maker| Tools| Options|
Compatibility.

Movie Maker and DVD Maker are closely related programs. See if unchecking
those filters will help.

Would that be tools section of my web browser or somewhere else for
compatibility boxes to uncheck? Also, is there a way to tell if the file
is
a DV-AVI or a divx-avi? All the files that I have tried to burn are
either
AVI or WMV extensions so I'm not sure if that's my issue or not.

A first place to start is to see if you have incompatible source (video
and/or audio) files. Try this URL:

Incompatible source files may cause problems with DVD Maker as well as
Movie
Maker.



Another trick that sometimes works is to uncheck the boxes in Tools|
Options| Compatibility.

How

For some reason my Windows DVD Maker has ceased to work when it used to
work
perfectly.

I am able to add files to burn but when I hit next and go to where I
can
change the settings before burning it says that "windows dvd player has
stopped working and windows is checking to see if there is a solution
to
the
problem" I then get a message box stating "a problem caused the program
to
stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you
if a
solution is available."

This program used to work just fine but stopped working and I do not
get a
notification of what the problem is or a code or something from
Windows.
I've recently updated to SP1 using Vista on an Acer 5570 laptop. I've
tried
changing the speed and placing the video on my desktop instead of
pulling
from folders but that makes no difference. I've changed file
extensions,
downloaded other programs to convert files to different types thinking
that's
what was wrong. Nothing has worked. I can view just fine using
Windows
Media Player so I'm not sure why I can no longer burn using this
program.

I have also started to burn a DVD and have the job cancel after just a
few
minutes (when it normally took about 2 hours) but says 99% done and
that
there's a problem burning to the DVD. I haven't had that error up in a
while
since I can't get past the initial screen to change the layout, etc.

Any help you can give me appreciated. I'm not sure what other
information
I
need to provide but will be most happy to provide whatever information
necessary.

Thank you in advance for ANY help you can give.
