I have a Windows Movie Maker Project on Windows 8. How do I burn a CD/DVD to watch on my DVD player.?

Q. I want to be able to put the project onto a CD for DVD viewing.
I wonder can it be put on a thumb drive to hook right into the TV.
These are two seperate requests. Please advise and you will make my GrandDaughters day.


Answer
Before you do anything, save the project and then, on the right side of the Home tab, click "Save Movie". No device will play a Movie Maker project. In the "Common Settings" section of the Save Movie dropdown, I have "Burn DVD" but I'm on a Windows 7 machine that has Windows DVD Maker. I don't know if you'll also have this setting in Windows 8.

Unfortunately, Microsoft dropped Windows DVD Maker from Windows 8 so you have to use 3rd party DVD authoring software. Lesson: DVD or image burning software just burns copies of files onto disks. DVD authoring software adds the encoding that allows a disk to play in a DVD player.

About the easiest free DVD authoring program I'm familiar with is DVDFlick.

Be forewarned that free DVD authoring software has a reputation for being buggy. I've used DVDFlick and DVDStyler (a little more complicated than DVDFlick) with no problems but others have reported them.

Re copying your video onto a flashdrive. I've seen some TVs that will recognize and allow you to open image and video files and run them - mostly newer TVs. I've seen some TVs that won't. You'd have to try it. I'm guessing that if the TV has USB, it's probably able to open and run files.

Windows 8 Customization?

Q. I just got the Lenovo Yoga Ideapad and was wondering if the start menu is customizable. I would like to add a photo for the background or just a different design. Also, I see that when watching a movie, it makes me watch it in media center NOT windows media player (i dont like it.)

thanks!


Answer
The start screen has a number of backgrounds to choose from but you can't add your own by default.

Thankfully someone has stepped up to the challenge and created a program to do the job.

Windows 8 doesn't have movie DVD playback by default. You can buy a separate DVD playback program or you can download VLC. I suggest VLC, it's free.
