Windows DVD Maker is a great tool for creating DVDs. It is easy to use and can create a wide variety of DVDs. You can use Windows DVD Maker to create movies, music videos, and software applications. To start Windows DVD Maker, open the program and click on the New button. In the new window, you will be asked to name your project. You can choose any name you like, but it is best to choose something that is unique and memorable. Next, you will be asked to select a media type. You can choose either DVD or Blu-ray. If you are creating a movie, you should select DVD because DVDs are more common than Blu-rays. Next, you will be asked to specify the dimensions of your disc. You can choose either 2 or 4 discs per layer. If you are creating a music video or software application, you should specify the dimensions of each disc so that the program can create an appropriate size file for that type of project. When finished editing your project, click on the OK button to save your changes. Windows DVD Maker will now start creating yourDVD!

You then will get the default splash screen. If you don’t want to see it every time just check the box “Don’t show me this page again”.
The interface is relatively bland and simple. Here I just dragged over the video files from a DVD I copied from my collection using DVD Shrink.
Next you get a preview of the DVD menu. You can also change the menu look with other included menu themes.
When you are finished with the settings just click the Burn button. There are not a whole lot of extra features. You can change the burn speed, menu fonts, and screen format. For the most part this is an extremely simple and limited DVD burning application. I actually have a better time burning with CDburnerXP. Also, depending upon the speed you select … even if it is maximum, it seems to take longer to burn a disc than other third party software.
