Why wont the dvd's I burn play in my dvd player?
I just started burning dvds and I am using dvd-r because I have other burned movies I got from friends that are dvd-r and they play in my dvd player, for some reason the movies that I have burned will not play. A couple of the movies have been .avi The movies will play in my computer but not my dvd player, Do I need to convert the movies to mpg?
Answer:
If you're burning the AVI file direct to the DVD then it won't play on your DVD player as what you have created is a Data DVD containing an AVI file not a Playable Video format DVD.
A video DVD contains a folder called VIDEO_TS which contains .VOB and .IFO files which contain the actual video and menus encoded in DVD player format. It also contains a folder called AUDIO_TS which must be present but is always empty.
You need to use a DVD mastering tool such as Nero Vision Express which takes you through a wizard process where you import the AVI / MPG file, split it into chapters and then create a disk menu. Once your happy with everything it goes of and encodes the .VOB and IFO files for you which you then burn to the VIDEO_TS folder on a blank DVD using your favourite burning software.
Once you've burnt your DVD stick it in the player and enjoy. dis might be coz u dont burn ur dvd's properly.
and if u burn music files, then there is a chance that ur dvd player isn't compatible with music files. What you need is something that creates a "true" DVD. You should have gotten something like Roxio's DVD Creator with your computer. When you select it you have to make sure that you are not creating a "DATA" DVD. A "DATA" DVD will not play on a DVD player. You need to select the "DVD Builder".
The DVD builder will allow you to name the DVD and add a menu for each of the ".avi" files that you want to include. You drag them on to something that looks like a "strory board". Once you have the file on the "story board", you should be able to click the "burn" Icon and then wait.. It takes a bit longer to create a real DVD as compared to a "DATA" DVD.
Hope this helps.
