Part 1: Create DVD Menu with Windows Movie Maker and DVD Maker<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Microsoft has built in some effective solutions for you to create DVD menu via its internal free DVD menu creator - Windows DVD Maker. Windows DVD Maker is a DVD authoring utility developed by Microsoft for Windows Vista and included in Windows 7 that allows users to create DVD slideshows and videos for playback on media devices such as a DVD player. DVD Maker has been removed as of Windows 8. Therefore, if you are using a Windows 8 computer, you need to skip to the Part 2<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n
Before we can start to burn video to DVD and create DVD menu, it's important to note which file formats are accepted by Windows DVD Maker:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Video files<\/strong>: '.asf', '.avi', '.dvr-ms', '.m1v', '.mp2', '.mp2v', '.mpe', '.mpeg', '.mpg', '.mpv2', '.wm', and '.wmv'.<\/li>\n
- Audio files<\/strong>: '.aif', '.aifc', '.aiff', '.asf', '.au', '.mp2', '.mp3', '.mpa', '.snd', '.wav', and '.wma'.<\/li>\n
- Picture files<\/strong>: '.bmp', '.dib', '.emf', '.gif', '.jfif', '.jpe', '.jpeg', '.jpg', '.png', '.tif', '.tiff', and '.wmf'.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\nBy making clear what kind of video, audio and picture files you could load to Windows DVD Maker, you could then follow the below steps to create DVD menu during burning video to DVD within Windows DVD Maker (if your source videos are not recognized by Windows DVD Maker, you could either try to use a video converter to convert them to Windows DVD Maker compatible formats or directly go to the Part 2<\/strong> section.) <\/p>\n
