    Movie Maker

    Compared to some of the questions this make me feel dumb but...

    Got Windows Movie Maker, basically put together all the pictures and videos and a bit of music and then knock it onto Cds or DVDs to send out, but...

    None of the ways I've saved it have worked in my DVD Player, all give the message "CODEC NOT SUPPORTED", is there a way round this or will I have to send it out as "FOR PC USE ONLY"

    Re: Movie Maker

    Hmm is this on vista? I've never really used movie maker myself, but i can't see why it wouldn't work if you've set it to; publish to DVD, burnt on a DVD...and played in a regular DVD player. this is a strange one.

    Re: Movie Maker

    Win XP Home SP2 and a pretty top notch Phillips DVD Player.

    It just keeps throwing the CODEC thing at me, been at this for weeks now and it's been one hassle after another.

    Re: Movie Maker

    i guess, you could try burning another DVD, but on a different application/software, even if it's not a slideshow, but just too see if the DVD player will play other media you've burnt yourself, unless u've tried that? it could be an issue with movie maker. im not sure on the tech details of your player, or if you're able to update it? firmwares?

    Re: Movie Maker

    1) what format was the video originally before putting into WMM?

    2) what format are you outputting at? hopefully mpeg2

    3) what bitrate does it use? Am not a WMM fundi, so have no idea, but do you have any control over the bitrate? anything under 8mbs should be fine......

    Re: Movie Maker

    Erm it's a mixture of JPGs and Vids that have already been converted into .movs,

    AFAIK it's outputting into .wmv

    Bitrate unknown.

    Re: Movie Maker

    .wmv shouldn't play on a DVD player - needs mpeg2 (or mpeg1 but no need to do that)

    Re: Movie Maker

    If you have Nero with Nero Vision (or whatever its called now) try giving that a shot. I found it to be very fast
    Also it will allow you do add all fancy menus and what-not with ease
