What is a .MSDVD file?

File Extension: .MSDVD File Type: Windows DVD Maker Project File Description: A .MSDVD file is a project file created using Windows DVD Maker. This type of file is structured in XML format, which means it uses specific tags to organize and define the content of the DVD. These tags include information about the media content, the title of the DVD, the style of the menu, the names of the buttons, and other relevant details. It's important to note that the .MSDVD file does not contain the actual media files (like videos or photos). Instead, it contains references to where these media files are stored on your computer. This means that the .MSDVD file points to the locations of these files, which are necessary for the DVD to be created and played correctly.

Although primarily generated by Windows DVD Maker, .MSDVD files can also be created by other third-party applications that have the capability to use Windows DVD Maker's DVD encoding features.
