Windows Vista lets you handle your digital memories in a truly intuitive way. It's the center for your digital memories, where you can import your pictures, organize and find them, make basic corrections, and save them to CD or DVD. It's also your photo gallery, with a virtually endless number of photo albums and a variety of ways to share pictures with your friends and family.
With Windows Vista, your photos and the tools you need are all in one place. Whether you're working with photos or video, editing or e-mailing your pictures, or putting together a slide show for your next party, you will have the tools to get it done—and more—quickly and easily.
Bring together video and photos in a new way
Windows Photo Gallery lets you view and manage both video and photos from the same place within Windows Vista. You can import your videos, including high-definition ones, and hundreds—or even thousands—of photos quickly, seamlessly, and more reliably than ever. When you enjoy your digital memories with Windows Photo Gallery, you can even include home movies in a picture slide show, bringing together still and moving images in a whole new way.
Create your own DVDs
Creating a custom DVD is easier than ever using the Windows DVD Maker or the "Publish" option in Windows Movie Maker. Windows DVD Maker gives you a variety of styles in which to publish your movie and can even automatically generate chapters in your DVD, so you can create a menu that lets you quickly jump to, and then play, specific scenes. Create custom DVDs from your home movies using Windows Movie Maker so your friends and family can enjoy them on their own DVD players.
A better overall experience
As you prepare your home movies, Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista gives you more control over the quality and size of your video files than ever before—whether you plan to share your videos on the web or create high-quality DVDs. Because Windows Movie Maker efficiently uses the power of your PC’s graphics processor, it delivers the smoothest overall performance, providing the best-quality video based on your PC’s capabilities.
