Windows DVD Maker won't recognize iTunes downloads

When trying to create a DVD slide show of photos with music in the background, which I have done many times using other downloaded music, the Windows DVD Maker will not recognize any files whatsoever that are downloaded from iTunes. Any help or ideas here? Thanks.

Gateway One, Windows Vista, 500g HD

Hi nasagirl

if you mean items posted from the itunes store then i'm sorry there is nothing you can do about it. the tracks are authorized by itunes and only work on certain apple products. they won't play on the windows dvd maker as they are protected. But apple have changed the way the itunes score works so now they will offer tracks to buy that has no protection. but this will mean buying your songs again and i'm not entirely sure if tracks are still protected , have changed or are going to change soon.
