Re: cannot use DVD in movie maker
If you have the DVD in your computer DVDRW drive, are you saying you see no
folders (or files?) on the DVD?

Re: cannot use DVD in movie maker
Click on VIDEO_TS; you will see a set of .vob files with names like VTS_01_1
up to VTS_01_5 (may be less depending on whether the DVD disc was full).
These .vob files are your video files. Copy these .vob files to your
destination folder (e.g. Video Conversion Project) on your hard drive.
After clicking on the file name(s), the command from the Explorer window is
Alt\Edit\Copy to Folder. Windows Movie Maker does not handle .vob files
properly, so you will need to first convert them to .wmv files; I use
Windows Media Encoder for that purpose. You can also get good help on your
projects at this web site:

Hope this helps.
