默认情况下，Windows ME、Windows XP 和 Windows Vista(Windows XP and Windows Vista)包括 用于创建和编辑家庭视频的Windows Movie Maker ( WMM )。在Windows 7中，它成为Windows Live Essentials 套件(Windows Live Essentials suite)的独立产品部分(product part)。最新版本于 2012 年作为适用于 Windows 7、8 和 8.1 的Windows Movie Maker 2012发布。(Windows Movie Maker 2012)
根据您的Windows版本，您可能会也可能无法将WMV 文件(WMV file)从WMM刻录到DVD。Windows Vista 和 Windows(Windows Vista and Windows) 7 都包含一个名为Windows DVD Maker的免费程序，遗憾的是它在Windows 8中被删除了。使用Windows DVD Maker，您可以直接从Windows Movie Maker将(Windows Movie Maker)WMV 文件(WMV file)刻录到DVD。
如果您运行的是 Windows 8 或Windows XP，则需要使用一组不同的工具将WMV 文件(WMV file)刻录为可播放的DVD。在本文中，我将讨论一个名为DVD Flick的程序。它是一个免费的DVD制作工具，可让您拍摄几乎任何格式的视频，并以最小的努力将它们刻录到DVD上。(DVD)
使用 Windows DVD Maker 刻录 WMV
如果您运行的是Windows Vista 或 Windows(Windows Vista or Windows) 7 ，完成这项工作的最简单方法是使用Windows DVD Maker。实际上有两种方法可以做到这一点。如果您尚未开始一起编辑视频，则可以使用Windows Movie Maker创建和编辑电影。
完成所有编辑后，只需单击“保存电影”( Save movie)按钮，您就会看到一个名为“刻录 DVD”(Burn a DVD)的选项。
您不会在Windows 8或Windows XP上看到此选项，因为它没有安装Windows DVD Maker 软件(Windows DVD Maker software)。如果您已经有WMV 文件(WMV file)并且只想将其刻录到可播放的DVD 上(DVD)，那么您可以直接打开Windows DVD Maker。
您将看到一个欢迎屏幕，您可以在其中单击选择照片和视频(Choose photos and videos)，然后只需单击添加项目(Add items)即可将电影文件添加到您的DVD。在底部，它会告诉您DVD(DVD)上的剩余时间，您还可以更改DVD 标题(DVD title)。您还可以单击选项(Options)并更改视频格式(video format)、播放设置、纵横比和刻录机速度。
单击下一步(Click Next)并为您的DVD选择一种菜单样式(menu style)。您还可以自定义菜单并更改菜单文本(menu text)。在刻录DVD(DVD)之前，您还可以单击“预览”按钮(Preview button)查看菜单的外观。
就是这样。现在只需单击刻录(Burn)，您就可以开始了。将WMM 和 Windows DVD Maker(WMM and Windows DVD Maker)一起使用时，刻录WMV 文件(WMV file)非常容易。现在让我们谈谈另一种情况。
使用 DVD Flick 刻录 WMV
DVD Flick是一个很棒的小实用程序，可以为几乎任何类型的视频文件(video file)创建可播放的DVD(DVDs)。它非常易于使用，并且不包含任何恶意软件、间谍软件或垃圾软件(spyware or junkware)。下载并安装后，将弹出主屏幕，系统会询问您是否要在开始之前查看指南。在开始之前阅读指南是个好主意。
默认情况下，程序从存储在 Documents 文件夹中的新的未命名项目开始。要开始，您必须单击Add title。命名有点混乱，因为大多数人倾向于认为视频中的标题是电影开头和结尾(beginning and end)的部分，但这里是您想要添加到项目中的任何视频文件。(video file)
添加视频后，它们将显示在主区域中，最左侧的小进度条(progress bar)将显示您在DVD上剩余的空间。添加完所有视频后，继续并单击项目设置(Project settings)。
在General 选项卡(General tab)上，您基本上想给您的项目一个标题，并选择适当的目标大小(target size)。默认情况下，它是标准的单面 4.3GB 大小。你可以不理会其余的。
在视频选项卡(Video tab)上，您要选择目标格式(target format)（NTSC 或 PAL(NTSC or PAL)）和编码类型。除了格式选项(format option)之外，我会把其他所有东西都放在这里。
最后，在刻录选项卡(Burning tab)上，您需要选中将项目刻录到光盘(Burn project to disc)框，为您的DVD贴上标签并选择DVD 驱动器(DVD drive)。您还可以在刻录后验证并弹出磁盘。如果您不选中刻录到光盘框，程序将只在硬盘驱动器上创建AUDIO_TS 和 VIDEO_TS 文件夹(AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders)，而不将它们刻录到光盘。
在主屏幕上，继续并单击创建 DVD(Create DVD)以开始DVD创作过程。您将看到一个弹出对话框(popup dialog)，其中包含视频编码、音频编码、添加字幕等的进度。
完成后，它应该会自动开始刻录过程(burn process)，因此请确保驱动器中已有DVD。您还可以导航到项目文件夹，您应该会看到为您的(project folder)DVD创建的上述文件夹。
如果您想再次刻录或稍后编辑它，您也可以保存该项目。该程序还有很多其他功能，我不会详细介绍，但只会提及。该网站还有一个很棒的指南(guide)，涵盖了所有内容。添加视频时，您可以单击编辑标题(Edit title)添加额外的音频、创建章节、添加字幕、更改缩略图(thumbnail image)、加入视频文件等。
最后，单击菜单设置(Menu Settings)以自定义DVD首次启动时出现的DVD菜单。(DVD menu)
您现在应该拥有从 WMV视频文件(video file)或任何视频文件(video file)轻松创建DVD所需的所有工具。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
How to Burn Windows Movie Maker WMV Video to DVD
By default, Windows ME, Windowѕ XP and Windows Vista included Wіndows Movie Maker (WMM) for creating and editing home videos. With Windows 7, іt became a separаte product part of the Windows Live Essentials suite. The latest version wаs released in 2012 as Windows Movie Maker 2012 for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.
Depending on your version of Windows, you may or may not be able to burn a WMV file to a DVD from WMM. Windows Vista and Windows 7 both included a free program called Windows DVD Maker, which was sadly removed in Windows 8. Using Windows DVD Maker, you can burn a WMV file to DVD directly from Windows Movie Maker.
If you’re running Windows 8 or Windows XP, you’ll need to use a different set of tools to burn the WMV file as a playable DVD. In this article, I’ll talk about a program called DVD Flick. It’s a free DVD authoring tool that will let you take videos of pretty much any format and burn them on a DVD with minimal effort.
Burn WMV using Windows DVD Maker
The easiest way to get the job done is to use Windows DVD Maker if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7. There are actually two ways you can go about doing this. If you haven’t started editing your videos together, then you can use Windows Movie Maker to create and edit the movie.
Once you have completed all the editing, you simply click on the Save movie button and you’ll see an option there called Burn a DVD.
You won’t see this option on Windows 8 or Windows XP, as it doesn’t have the Windows DVD Maker software installed. If you already have a WMV file and you just want to burn it to a playable DVD, then you can open Windows DVD Maker directly.
You’ll see a welcome screen where you can click on Choose photos and videos and then you simply click on Add items to add the movie files to your DVD. At the bottom, it will tell you the amount of time left on the DVD and you can also change the DVD title. You can also click on Options and change the video format, playback settings, aspect ratio, and burner speed.
Click Next and choose a menu style for your DVD. You can customize the menu and change the menu text also. You can also click the Preview button to see what the menu will look like before you burn the DVD.
That’s about it. Now just click Burn and you’re good to go. Burning a WMV file is super easy when using WMM and Windows DVD Maker together. Now’s let’s talk about the other scenario.
Burn WMV using DVD Flick
DVD Flick is an awesome little utility for creating playable DVDs for just about any kind of video file. It’s super easy to use and doesn’t contain any malware, spyware or junkware. Once you download it and install it, the main screen will pop up and you’ll be asked if you want to check out the guide before getting started. It’s a good idea to just read over the guide once before you begin.
By default, the program starts off with a new unnamed project that is stored in your Documents folder. To get started, you have to click Add title. The naming is a bit confusing, as most people tend to think titles in videos are sections at the very beginning and end of a movie, but here it is any video file you want to add to your project.
Once you add videos, they will show up in the main area and the little progress bar on the far left will show you how much space you have left on the DVD. Once you have added all the videos, go ahead and click on Project settings.
On the General tab, you basically want to give your project a title and also choose the appropriate target size. By default, it’s the standard one-sided 4.3GB size. You can leave the rest alone.
On the Video tab, you want to choose your target format (NTSC or PAL) and the type of encoding. I would leave everything else alone here except for the format option.
Finally, on the Burning tab, you need to check the Burn project to disc box, give your DVD a label and choose the DVD drive. You can also verify and eject the disk after burning. If you don’t check the burn to disc box, the program will only create the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders on the hard drive and not burn them to disc.
On the main screen, go ahead and click on Create DVD to start the DVD authoring process. You’ll get a popup dialog with the progress of encoding video, encoding audio, adding subtitles, etc.
Once it has completed, it should begin the burn process automatically, so make sure you have a DVD already in the drive. You can also navigate to the project folder and you should see the above-mentioned folder created for your DVD.
You can also save the project if you want to burn it again or edit it later. The program has a lot of other features that I won’t go into great detail about, but will just mention. The website also has a great guide that covers everything. When you add a video, you can click Edit title to add extra audio, create chapters, add subtitles, change the thumbnail image, join video files, etc.
Lastly, click on Menu Settings to customize the DVD menu that will appear when the DVD starts up for the first time.
You should now have all the tools you need to easily create a DVD from your WMV video files or from any video file for that matter. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
