Producing a dvd

HalfPint

Hi Guys,

Now, Please forgive me if I'm showing my ignorance but I really need some help with this.

Basically, Have just set up photography business and want to produce and dvd with clients pictures set to music.

I have Nero startsmart essentials and can create it there but the music (MP3) I attached didn't play correctly, the sound was distorted.

Now I am being thick and doing something wrong or is there better/other software I should be using. The kind of thing I want is what you make with windows movie maker.

Im not technically minded so please explain stuff in laymans terms

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Why not try windows movie maker....you can do all that you ask....and if you go on microsofts website you can get the new movie maker....if you just want to keep it simple then don't go after flashy stuff....try the new one you may be suprised

Hi Cat695,

I have that, when I tried to burn it to a dvd using cdburnerxp it burned successfully but wouldn't play through the telly and would only play on the pc through movie maker

Any other suggestions? (or did I do something wrong with moviemaker?)

When you burnt it with cdburnerxp, did you close the DVD after burning or leave it Open to add more files (this can make a difference), the default is to leave it open (if i remember correctly).

Hi Shadowdragon,

I closed it. also forgot to say im on XP. I think I may be able to do it on my laptop which has vista...trying it out at the moment. will keep you posted.

Would be better if I could do it on the desktop as its a more powerful pc and I do all the editing on it. The laptop is mainly for showing portraits at clients houses therefore it's not connected to the net and has no other software on it other than what it came with.

Thanks for your help.

HOOORAH!!! :T ok..not ideal but I can do it on Vista on the laptop. Still am open to ideas for doing it on the desktop but for the moment I can transfer the files onto the laptop once edited and make the dvd.

Thanks guys :beer:
