Windows 10: burn movies to DVD

why can I no longer burn movies to a DVD. My computer says I may have to install latest update??? used to be able to make a movie and use Windows Media Player to burn it to a Disc No more what gives Please Thank You

:)

 

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and have a Video Movie Creation problem and a DVD burning problem

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 in June. In the past on Windows 7 when I created a .wmv file, ie., created a "Movie" from old family video and then burned the "Movie" to a DVD, the DVD would play perfectly on any DVD/CD player connected to a TV.

In Windows 10, I have now found in creating a "Movie" .wmv from my old family videos in Windows Live Movie Maker - Windows 10 movie creation tool and DVD burning tools in Windows 10 do not allow for playback of my burned DVDs on my TV's DVD player. Is there
a Microsoft media creation program and DVD burning program like the one in Windows 7 that I can download to my computer so the movies I create can playback on numerous DVD players? Please help as I am stuck midstream with my video movie creation!!

Thanks,

Maureen

 

Movie Maker

That is because DVD Maker which facilitates the burning of DVD movies is no longer bundled with Windows 10. You will have to save the movie in a desired format then burn it using a third party application. Learn more:

Movie Maker Burn DVD option not available on Windows 8

 

Windows 10 has removed a lot of the previous DVD support. There was a free DVD Player app, at least for awhile, but it was only a player. You may need to get a DVD editor program such as Roxio Creator.

 

Yeah but should not affect WMP or its ability to burn stuff to DVD - that is basic functionality.

 

Are you having problems making or burning the movie? If it's burning, I recommend ImgBurn to burn your movies to disk. Download a older version if you don't want the bundleware that comes with the newest version. ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 / 2.5.0.0 Adfree

 

Here's a list of some DVD authoring programs. Some of them are free. I've only used one of the paid programs so I can't recommend any of the free ones. Authoring (DVD)

 

Were you ever able to create a DVD movie disk under Windows 10? What software did you use in the past? What OS did it run under?

 

Windows 7 I upgraded when I was offered 10 for free Sorry I did I had no problem with windows movie maker in the past I can still make movies in 10 , but just can't burn them to DVD. It's frustrating trying to learn with Windows 10 since I am older and wasn't raised on a computer. Shoulda stuck with 7. Easy for you peeps to extend a helping hand when its second nature to you. But I do appreciate the help even if I don't know what the heck you's are talking about half the time*Tongue Thanks

 

Did you give ImgBurn a try?

 

*Ditto

 

going to there now Keep your fingers crossed :0)

 

you know, on second thought I am afraid of opening a can of worms If I download ImgBurn I am afraid I will have issues with Windows Media Player and won't be able to access my music .Thanks for the help but this stuff is overwhelming.

 

Your choice, but I've been running ImgBurn and Media Player since Win 7, and do now, no issues. It's also very nice for burning ISO's.

 

Great program! I don't think you'll need it but I'll keep my fingers crossed. *Smile
