Hello Gilly, welcome to the Forums!

That built in DVD maker is a great feature, no? When it works, that is.

Does this come out narrow with black borders on the top and bottom, or on the sides?

You could also try re-installing the DVD maker, or look at the settings in the burning section.

Download details: Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker SDK might work for you there.

~Lordbob

thats just
Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker SDK

for adding special effects is that really gonna work or am i just gonna have to waste another dvd trying

The movie maker is the movie maker. The DVD maker is what you were using before, but I think that is the vista version (though they may be the same).
It will work fine for editing.

I'm having problems getting the DVD maker to burn a disk, after converting 99% of an avi file the maker says

"the owner sid on a per-user subscription doesn't exist"

 

[Lordbob75]

Well, it worked great for me...............

You may just want to try reinstalling DVD maker....

I've had the exact same issue in previous build of 7, where the video was converting @ 4:3 but showing black lines and the sides (no manner of tv perspective shift will conquer this). I'll run some tests on build 7229 & post the results, but it might take some time

No its not. The DVD makes is a separate program. As you can see by the Link I provided.

is it freeware cos everytime im told theres freeware versions i can never find it..its always like 40 odd quid fooook that

Oh you are right, that is for developing your own stuff. My mistake for not reading it >.<

Anyways, since it is bundled with Seven just try a repair install of the OS. Nothing will be lost, and it will (hopefully) fix this.

well that was a waste of time i thought installing windows 7 7229 would sort the problem out ,but it didnt, using dvd flick and dvd coming out fine the only thing im missing is those pretty menus but atleast its alot faster than the snail trail what dvd maker leaves behind ... sorry im just being bitter now:sarc:
