Windows 10: Not able to burn a DVD to be able to run on a DVD player Windows 10.

Having lost the Movie Maker on Windows 7, I purchased it from Microsoft. Unfortunately it will only Burn disc to read only on the computer but not on a DVD Player. So I purchased Movavi video editor plus 2020. I still have the same problem. I got in touch with Movavi and they advised me to download BurnAware Free. Still no success. I'm just so frustrated. I am doing Scrap books for five of my Grandchildren from Birth through to their school achievements and I put photos etc which are too many for one page onto DVD and the eldest grandchild is now 18 which means I have been doing his scrapbook for near on 18 yrs. and I can't give it to him until I have finished it with the last DVD. I have spent days on end searching on the internet for answers none of these have worked. Please help I'm just so fed up with windows 10.

Burning DVDs

Hi Robin,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  Did you try to burn the photos using other DVD disc to isolate the issue?
  
• 
  Do you get any error message when you play the DVD on TV?
  
• 
  Does the TV supports the file format of photo? (photo formats which you try burning to DVD disc)
  

If you want to make a disc that can hold several hours of music (as opposed to an audio CD that only holds about 80 minutes of music), choose the
Data CD or DVD option. You can also add picture and video files to data discs.

Keep in mind that when you burn a data CD or DVD instead of an audio CD, the CD or DVD player that you use to play it must be able to play the file types that you put on the disc. For example, if all of your songs are in
the WMA format and your CD player only supports MP3 files, you won't be able to play your new data CD or DVD with it.

You may refer to the below article on how to burn DVD or CD using Windows media player and check if it helps.
