The codecs extract from the Windows 7 Disc, these are in the "system32" folder, Windows 8 has the same named codecs already installed, but these ones are crippled so that they will not work in DVDMaker. Rename the Windows Vista DVDMaker.exe to DVDMaker8.exe and put it inside the folder so that you see 2 DVDMaker apps only with two different icons. Make your folder/rename the extracted ones in Windows 8.x so that you have You can extract the install.wim in the sources folder of these DVDs with 7zip, so extract "Program Files\DVD Maker" folder from Windows 7 Disc and "Program Files\Movie Maker" from the Vista Disc ( if you plan to use the Win7 version then you only need the DVDMaker.exe from Vista, so skip all the rest ). Legally you need at least Vista ( because you need that single exe out of it ) and for best results a Win7 license ( the wmv-codecs work best in Win8, you do not want to lose mp4 playback which vista does not have ), DVDs or isos with the same architecture and language as your current Windows 8.x ( 32bit / 64bit ) Manual Method : You need the DVD Maker or Movie Maker app directory : Very strange, but it works and that what I was after. In fact the launched exe all of a sudden appears also in the Win7 look-n-Feel ( blue ) while launched from the other folder it comes in Vista-black. Until I renamed the second DVDMaker.exe to DVDMaker8.exe and left the other one under its DVDMaker.exe name in the same folder, then it worked also from the Windows7 folder. I dropped the exe from the Vista folder into the Win7 folder and again the annoying message of "No codes installed" came on. Now I wanted to know why DVDMaker.exe started from the Vista "Movie Maker" folder would do it but the same exe from Win7 folder "DVD Maker" would not. I started my experiments again and et voila all of a sudden this one worked after registering the codecs like I ever did. Then a few days ago I thought of Windows Vista - because DVDMaker was also included in its Premium and Ultimate Editions as Part of the preinstalled Moviemaker 6.0 ( not the "Live" one of today ) and basically this DVDMker is exactly the same program like in Win7 - identical to say. Renaming DVDMaker.exe to something else.exe launches Windows Media Player setup, which is a double weired behaviour I have never seen this before. Microsoft must have intentonally blocked this program to run at all, my guess is the hashes of the Win7 exe's are blacklisted somewhere deep in the system. No matter what you do even after registering all sort of Win7 codecs manually, this message will always be displayed and even after adding Windows Media Center which has DVD Playback support the program will not work. In Windows 8/.1 this particular application "DVD Maker" is no longer included starting the exe from the copied Win7 folder will result in a message that no mpeg2 de/encoder is installed. In Windows 8/.1 WLM shows no such option by default. Under Windows 7 it also plays nicely together with the "Live Movie Maker" as a post-processing option to produce DVDs straight from the WLM app. This is NOT DATA-DVD-Option in Windows Explorer but a Application to author DVDs that will playback in any physical Player, with animated menus and buttons. Ok,Defintion first to those who not know :ĭVD Maker is a program included in Windows 7. This post lacks screenshots, forum does not allow me. and here I want to share it with anyone interested. This one took me ages to find a solution.
