It won't copy directly.
You would be better off to reauthor it as a DVD.
Hope you saved the original finished video file.

That would also depend if you have or dont have a DVD burner on your puter. It would have really been helpful when asking your question if you would have given some info on your computer

Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator, can't find

Ok I don't know where you have looked so I will start from the beginning. Go to start, control panel, add remove programs, let it complete the list and look there for Roxio, if it is there you can select it and choose delete. go to start, all programs, look through the list of programs there and look for Roxio, right click it to find your options to run, uninstall etc. right click start, explore, go to the program files, open look there for Roxio folder. go to start, search, search for roxio in all files on your pc. Those are the most common ways to try to find something. Roxio is a popular program and yes it did come bundled in many computers so that very well may be how it got on your pc it came with it, and it may be that you never used it so it has never been activated which would be why you don't "see" it. Try that and let us know what you turn up.

Making Copies of Photo CD's
Q
Comments (3)
it may be the cd you are trying to copy, I know the walmart photo cd's that I have had in the past were not always copyable they contain special coding or something that can make it hard if not impossible to copy sometimes. but with most photo cd's you just put the cd in the cd drawer and it will pop up a box asking what you want to do, you want to copy to disc, or you can just drag and drop the pics from the disc to a folder on your pc. Right click on the picture itself and you should have some options like save as or copy to you can use those also to tell it where to put the picture. this is the type of situation I have run into with the walmart cd, this is a quote from a website. "WalMart Photo and also Kodak photo processing--available at nearly any supermarket, drug store, etc.--offer to put your photos on a CD along with developed prints. But, included with the CD images of your photos is proprietary photo/album management software. The photo/albun software seems to be pushed on the consumer to make it his primary photo management software program. These programs include a (re)ORDER PRINTS and/or ENLARGEMENTS function. The objective is to cause the consumer to keep using only THAT photo processing source and photo management program on his PC! Either the Walmart or the Kodak software MUST be loaded to even view the photos on the respective CD or to copy the images to your PC's hard drive. Without loading the proprietary software, you cannot view, edit or copy your photos! " I refuse to load any extra software on my pc if I can not do it with the programs I have then too bad. I will not risk putting spyware on my pc.

You probably burned them to the DVD as files, but what you really want to do is create a slide show. What software do you use to create DVDs? It may have the ability to make slideshows. If you don't have anything now, there are some free programs at download.com. They don't all do slideshows, so check the description to make sure it does what you want. I'd also check the ratings to make sure you get a good program.

Copy CD to DVD?
Q

Don't want to hijack Urlee's thread, but I have a related question. Is it possible to record only the audio portion of a DVD to a CD? If so, step by step, please. I have both DVD/CD ROM and DVD/CD burner (2 separate drives).

I guess that most people would assume that I have a DVD burner on my computer if I was going to try to copy it to a DVD.

I have Roxio as the software. What other information do you need?

I haven't copied a CD made with Movie Maker but I have Roxio Classic Creator 6.1.1.7 and I burn CDs to DVD. In fact, I just copied some graphics to a DVD. Just put the CD in and burn as usual.....Everything looks fine.

You can do that with data files,
but (S)VCD disks are different.
The formatting between a video CD and a DVD is different.
You could rip the video from the video CD and re author it.
But you suffer a severe loss of video quality.

You would be better off to start with the original
video file and reauthor it as a DVD.

Hope you saved the original file.

IF you have the original file from Movie Maker - you can put that into Roxio.

I know there are several different versions of "Roxio" - but this is how I do it on mine. I open up DVD Builder - and add the "movie". I take out the Roxio intro - drives me nuts, LOL

THen I burn the "Movie Maker" slideshow to DVD. WOrks great!

I love using Movie Maker - the only drawback is that it doesn't burn to DVD.

WHen I create the Movie Maker project, in step 3 - Save To Computer - I choose "Other Settings" - High Quality Video (NTSC) - then I burn onto DVD, that saved project using Roxio.

Hope this is clear - LOL! I am not sure it makes any sense to anyone but me?
