    Copying DVDs made by windows DVD maker
    « on: July 30, 2012, 05:59:57 PM »
    I've made two DVD slideshows with images of friends and family. Eventually I wanted every applicable person to have one. However, there does not appear to be a way to save the images into perpetuty. There seems to be no way for the recipients of these DVDs to make copies to hand on. That means, as the discs go bad, for whatever reason, then they are gone.

    Windows DVD maker just doesn't recognize what's on its own DVDS.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thanks in advance.

      In a nutshell:

      When you burn off a DVD with Windows' DVD maker, there seems to be no way to copy or retrieve the images on that disc. You can watch it and that's it.

      In my case it is a slideshow with music. I'll be burning off a disc from the image/music files for everyone, but the hope was that these recipients would be able to easily make copies to hand on down to others. But as noted, there appears to be no easy way to do that.
