Vista Business and Windows DVD Maker

My brother has Windows Vista Business on his computer and he does not have
Windows DVD Maker. The program he does have is Windows Movie Maker but it
doesn't have the abililty to burn his slideshow to a DVD (only a CD). Is
there some way he can download Windows DVD Maker or upgrade his Windows Movie
Maker so it will burn to DVD? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

He would have to upgrade the system to Vista Ultimate to get that capability
or use third party software. Windows DVD Maker is only included with certain
version of Windows, it is not available as a separate download.

Windows DVD Maker is part of Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate. It
is not a component of Vista Business. Not is it available as a separate
download.

As an alternative, it is possible to burn DVDs using Windows Media
Player, which is a component of Vista Business:
