My last post was apparently too complicated. Anyone in this forum know how to make a dvd that will play in any stand alone dvd player. If it is impossiable please say so. If not just point me in the right direction, I don't mind reading.
Do you mean how to make video-dvd? Or (s)vcd? Normal stand alone dvd-player will play them... before you burn something to dvd, make sure you have right media (- or + blank dvd) What do you want to burn? Other dvd, avi-file, image....?
I download xvid from the net.Convert it to mpeg4 with winavi. Burn it to disc with nero or roxio. It works in my player that is a player / recorder for dvd plus a vcr. It will not work in a 29 dollar stand alone dvd player that most people seam to have. I also have a tv with a dvd built in and it will not work with that either.
You could use WinAVI or FilmMachine to convert that .avi to dvd-format and then burn those files using Nero. Then you can read it with most stand-alone DVD players.
I am doing exactly what you are saying with no results. I guess the conclusion is I am just unlucky with dvd players?
You burn those dvd-files to VIDEO_TS folder? What dvd media do you use? + or - dvd? Does your 29 dollar stand alone dvd-player support it?
marlin, Try AVI2DVD and use Nero at the slowest speed your media will accomodate (2x would be good). Download here it's a freebie. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/avi2dvd.cfm M
