Video commonly refers to several storage formats for moving pictures: digital video formats, including Blu-ray Disc, DVD, QuickTime, and MPEG-4; and analog videotapes, including VHS and Betamax. Video can be recorded and transmitted in various physical media: in magnetic tape when recorded as PAL or NTSC electric signals by video cameras, or in MPEG-4 or DV digital media when recorded by digital cameras.

As far as I know, Windows DVD Maker is an integral part of Movie Maker which in turn is an integral part of the Vista operating system. I would guess that it would only be updated as part of a Windows Vista Update. I have not noticed anything new re Movie Maker or DVD Maker since I got my computer in May 2007. My Movie Maker is Version 6.0.6000.16386, and is part of Vista with Service Pack 1.

RE burning time: I notice that most of the time is taken up with encoding the video file in preparation for burning per se. Generally this time for me is about the same as the real playing time of the video. The actual burn is about another 10% of that time. I use the 'Fast' burning time setting. One thing that is helpful is that, after the encoding step, DVD Maker lets you choose to make multiple burns without repeating the encoding time; that can be a big time saver. Hope this is helpful.

Where can I find the latest updates for DVD Maker?
I got my laptop quite some time ago, maybe 6 months and I'm still using the DVD Maker that came with it. I assume that there have been upgrades since.

And, I am making a DVD for my basketball team full of highlights, etc.
Is there anyway that I can make the DVD's burn faster?

I notice that it takes about 1-1.5 hours for each DVD.

It's quite a pain...
