So, I have been messing around with Windows DVD Maker, trying to get my AVI’s onto a DVD so I can play them on my DVD player of course!
But I have ran into a problem; Windows DVD Maker makes awesome DVD’s, with little menus and everything BUT, yes I said it, BUT it does not include the sound of my AVI file…
I know, I know you are all probably saying “Arturo, your missing codecs.”
But I don’t think thats the problem I am facing…I have installed Vista Codecs, and even the Community Codecs with no luck…which is pretty sad since I have gone through 5 blank DVD’s arleady =/
I have looked around and have found out that I am not the only one having this problem…it seems like everybody else that has tried to do this is having some sort of problem either it be the picture be all messed up, the menus being in the wrong place and of course, the sound not working.
But, I am not giving up yet, I will dissect the problem down to the nitty gritty and make sure to keep you all posted. (I make it sound like I have hundreds of followers, haha)
FYI: I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
UPDATE 12-06-09:
Well, I installed the vista codecs 32 bit and 64 bit since I read that if your using 64bit you might need them, and I went ahead and activated my output audio…which for some reason was not existent which was strange…and I gave it one more shot with my last DVD and it worked.
The quality of the DVD is actually pretty good (but I guess that depends on the quality of the AVI), the menus are nice and most importantly it fixes my problem!
Thanks for the info though Sam, I appreciate it.
