Step 2
Once you've opened Windows DVD Maker, you'll be presented with a welcome screen. This can be turned off and after reading through it the first time, I recommend doing so.
Next, you'll be able to select the pictures and videos you want included on your DVD. Pictures will be placed into a slide show. Great for weddings, parties or any other special event.
You can select videos totally up to 150 minutes. While they may not fill the entire 4.7 Gigabytes of a standard recordable DVD, this is the limit for video DVDs and one that DVD Maker won't let you go past.
Adding pictures and video is as easy as clicking the "Add items" button and navigating to the folder where your content is kept. Once you've added all of your content, you can move the files up and down the list. This will change the order in which they appear on the DVD and in the menus.
You can see above how I've arranged the content I want to burn. One great thing about DVD Maker is that if you're a Windows Media Center user, you can burn your recorded TV to DVD using this method. There are other ways of course, but this works great if you want to mix episodes or other content onto the disk.
