when I tried using Windows DVD Maker it said that one or more files could not be decoded? What should I do?
This error usually comes when one or any file is in such format that cannot be decoded by the Windows DVD maker.
So what i can suggest is try to merge/crop videos in Windows Movie Maker FIRST and than use that video in DVD maker. :thumbup1: Also check if you are missing any codec for the same.
All my files are MP4 and how do I check if I am missing codecs?
You will find it in Add and Remove. Anyways, if codecs are listed or not in Add And remove, simply download latest Codes and install.Quote:

Ok I added the codec, it is still saying that it can not decode some or all files... I am able to burn all 27 files to a DVD, but I can not burn those same files as a movie DVD... I hope thats clear???
