I make a lot of DVDs. I make them for weddings for family and for funerals and memorials. I make trip DVDs and memory DVDs and all sorts of stuff.

我制作了很多DVD。 我将它们用于家庭婚礼，丧葬和纪念馆。 我制作旅行DVD和内存DVD以及各种各样的东西。

Why don't you put all that stuff online, Scott? Why don't you put it on Facebook/YouTube/Vimeo/Whatever? There's a couple reasons. First, believe it or not, there's a lot of people in the world who don't have high-speed internet. We've got lots of relatives overseas who don't have a laptop at home nor do they have any internet in their home. Here in the US we've got lots of older relatives who don't have computers, or perhaps they only have an iPad and a link to a YouTube video doesn't have the sense of meaning or permanence that a DVD does.

斯科特，为什么不把所有这些东西都放在网上？ 您为什么不将它放在Facebook / YouTube / Vimeo /任何地方？ 有两个原因。 首先，信不信由你，世界上有很多人没有高速互联网。 我们有很多海外亲戚，他们家里没有笔记本电脑，家里也没有互联网。 在美国，我们有很多没有计算机的年长亲戚，或者他们只有一台iPad，并且链接到YouTube视频并不像DVD那样有意义或永久。

Random Aside: It's a shame that today's young people won't realize how much effort it took to create a mix tape for someone. Rearranging MP3s and emailing a list isn't the same as waiting for specific songs to get played on the radio and pressing Record within the first two notes.

随便说一句：可耻的是，今天的年轻人没有意识到为某人创建混合磁带需要花费多少精力。 重新排列MP3和通过电子邮件发送列表与等待广播中的特定歌曲并在前两个音符中按“录制”不同。

Perhaps making DVDs is a lost art and I'm an old fogey. Or perhaps DVDs are today's mix tapes.

也许制作DVD是一门失传的艺术，而我却是老烟熏了。 也许DVD是当今的混合磁带。

Regardless, I recently installed Windows 8 on my home machines and my laptop. Around the same time my Uncle Ronald - the closet person I've ever had to a grandfather - passed away. I immediately got to work creating a DVD for his memorial service. I had 30 minutes of audio of Uncle Ronnie that I recorded for a never-aired podcast. I had hundreds of photos over 90+ years of his life, 8mm and Super8 film reels as far back as the 50s, combined with digital video going all the way back to 1998 from my own collection. I was looking forward to burning many DVD copies and mailing it to interested relatives as well as playing the DVD at the memorial.

无论如何，我最近在家用计算机和笔记本电脑上安装了Windows 8。 大约在同一时间，我的叔叔罗纳德(Ronald)-我曾经和一个祖父见过的壁橱里的人-去世了。 我立即开始为他的追悼会创建DVD。 我录制了30分钟的Ronnie叔叔的音频，并录制了从未播出的播客。 在他90多年的生活中，我有数百张照片，8毫米和Super8胶片卷轴(可追溯到50年代)，再加上从我自己的收藏一直追溯到1998年的数字视频。 我期待刻录许多DVD副本并将其邮寄给感兴趣的亲戚，以及在纪念馆中播放DVD。

I spent many hours putting together a tribute video. I used Movie Maker as I have for many of my projects. I also have Adobe Premiere but for putting together family videos there's little easier than Movie Maker. I did my editing and went to Save Movie to export my movie as a WMV to import into Windows DVD Maker. But there was no DVD option. Confused, I searched the start menu for Windows DVD Maker. I'd used it just a week before...before I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8.

我花了很多时间整理致敬视频。 我在许多项目中都使用过Movie Maker。 我也有Adobe Premiere，但是将家庭视频放在一起比Movie Maker容易得多。 我进行了编辑，然后转到“保存电影”将电影导出为WMV格式，以导入到Windows DVD Maker中。 但是没有DVD选项。 感到困惑，我在开始菜单中搜索了Windows DVD Maker。 在将Windows 7升级到Windows 8之前的一周，我就用过它。

Windows DVD Maker was gone. It's not in Windows 8. :(

Windows DVD Maker消失了。 它不在Windows 8中。

I was pretty bummed as I needed to make DVDs for the memorial event and I kind of needed them immediately. There's lots of different third party DVD creation software packages but I've always personally felt that media players and media creation software from 3rd parties (Roxio, CyberLink, etc) have always been rather garish in their user interface style. They never LOOK like they belong in Windows. There's always bright red window chrome, the same airbrushed happy clipart families in splash screens.

当我需要为纪念活动制作DVD时，我非常高兴，我立即需要它们。 有很多不同的第三方DVD创建软件包，但是我个人一直感觉到来自第三方(Roxio，Cyber​​Link等)的媒体播放器和媒体创建软件在用户界面风格上一向十分夸张。 他们从不像他们在Windows中那样看起来。 总是有明亮的红色窗口镀Chrome，在初始屏幕中喷满了快乐的剪贴画家族。

I just want to import a video file into a simple app and create a DVD. Preferably for free.

我只想将视频文件导入一个简单的应用程序并创建DVD。 最好免费。

I evaluated a number of DVD creation suites over a number of hours and decided on the open source DVDStyler (NOTE: this is a link to the Adware-Free Portable Edition!). I like DVDStyler because it's extremely spartan in its user interface but extremely capable. One could believe it was included with Windows and it is an excellent complement to Windows Live Movie Maker. For me, installing DVDStyler makes up for DVD Maker being gone on Windows 8.

我在几个小时内评估了许多DVD创建套件，并决定使用开放源代码DVDStyler(注意：这是指向无广告软件的便携式版本的链接！) 。 我喜欢DVDStyler，因为它的用户界面极其精简，但功能强大。 可以相信它是Windows附带的，并且是Windows Live Movie Maker的绝佳补充。 对我而言，安装DVDStyler可以弥补Windows 8上DVD Maker的不足。

IMPORTANT NOTE/WARNING: While it is an open source GPL'ed project, in order to support itself DVDStyler does install some toolbar software and will change your browser home page and install additional software if you just "next, next, next, finish" through their installation process. When installing free software please ALWAYS be aware of what you're saying YES to. Be sure to use the Custom installation option and select (or deselect) the options that are right for you. While I found these changes surprising and an annoyance, I feel the value provided by this free software to be worth the annoyance of these other applets. I removed them later via Uninstall Programs as well as by manually removing extensions in Firefox and IE.

重要说明/警告：尽管这是GPL的开源项目，但为了支持自身，DVDStyler确实安装了一些工具栏软件，并且如果您只是“下一个，下一个，下一个，完成”，则会更改您的浏览器主页并安装其他软件。通过他们的安装过程。 在安装免费软件时，请始终注意您对“是”的意思。 确保使用“自定义”安装选项，然后选择(或取消选择)适合您的选项。 虽然我发现这些更改令人惊讶和烦恼，但我感到此免费软件提供的价值值得这些其他applet带来的烦恼。 我稍后通过“卸载程序”以及在Firefox和IE中手动删除扩展名将其删除。

When you save your movie from Windows Live Movie maker, you might want to make a Custom Production Setting. I created one and called it DVD and set it to 720x480. You might change this if you are creating PAL (720x576) or NTSC DVDs. It's up to you. The point is that Windows Live Movie Maker has no standard DVD movie creation option anymore but you can create any custom setting you'd like.

从Windows Live Movie maker保存电影时，可能需要进行自定义制作设置。 我创建了一个并将其命名为DVD，并将其设置为720x480。 如果要创建PAL(720x576)或NTSC DVD，则可以更改此设置。 由你决定。 关键是Windows Live Movie Maker不再具有标准的DVD电影创建选项，但是您可以创建所需的任何自定义设置。

In DVDStyler I use similar settings. Be sure to select 16x9 if most of your source material is widescreen and most of your destination TVs are also widescreen. I usually use DVD-5 (4.7 gigabytes) but occasionally I'll use a dual-layer DVD-9 (8.5 gigabytes) and a high bitrate if there is a lot of action on the screen.

在DVDStyler中，我使用类似的设置。 如果您的大多数素材是宽屏的，而您的目标电视也是宽屏的，请确保选择16x9。 我通常使用DVD-5(4.7 GB)，但是如果屏幕上有很多动作，有时我会使用双层DVD-9(8.5 GB)和高比特率。

You can burn the DVD directly or, if you want more control, create an ISO file and use another tool like ImgBurn to burn or create multiple copies.

您可以直接刻录DVD，或者如果需要更多控制权，则可以创建ISO文件并使用ImgBurn等其他工具来刻录或创建多个副本。

I'm glad to have found a reasonable, simple and free option for creating DVDs on Window 8 in DVDStyler.

我很高兴找到了一个合理，简单，免费的选项，可以在DVDStyler的Window 8上创建DVD。
