Thats a big problem for me because most of my video files is in this format. The makers could at least address the problem and create an add-on for this program, if not then i guess we all just have to keep our fingers crosed and hope that they bring out a sp2 for vista very soon and the solution is included. windows dvd maker “To be or not to be, that is the question”

Not that I expect outstanding features but I would expect that what IS there and what I have paid for works. I have Vista Ultimate, paid extra bucks for this, got high-end hardware; For what? Overall to me Vista is a clear step backwards compared to XP in terms of quality, stability, and need for hardware resources.

Note, I have been using it successfully to produce DVDs from productions put together with MovieMaker. I am concerned that I am not getting full quality DVD because the available burn space is 2 hrs on a disc. There is no selection for "Quality" (SP, LP, max quality 1hr etc) I saw the availability of SP1 with improved codecs and support for more video related issues. So, I upgraded to SP1. PROBLEM: Now the publishing goes on like normal until 99% complete then I get the error: "Catastrophic Failure" The drive works... read write etc but DVD Maker does not start the drive and nothing is written... Just the error and no explanation.... If anyone can help let me know! Another Problem With DVD Maker…

What did I expect when I loaded this up? - I expected to be able to burn actual data files to a disc. I had been reading about Vista support for dvd burning for ages and why would you call something a DVD Maker if this wasn't what it was able to do?. That aside, I had no problems working with XViD video using it.
