I have been looking at posts for about 2 hours now and I am still as lost as ever. I bought myself a Camcorder and I love it. I have figured out how to put the videos onto my computer and I have even burnt them to DVD's. I got married on Saturday and I of course we taped the whole thing. I want it all on DVD so I can watch it on my TV and also to make it for family members. When I put the DVD in my player it says "This type of disk cannot be played", it works fine on my computer so I am assuming it is a wrong format or something. What do I need to do in order to make it play on my DVD player? I have "Ulead VideoStudio 7 SE Basic" that came with my Camcorder, "Windows Media Encoder" anmd "Windows Movie Maker"... I am really hoping there is some kind of great, easy step by step I can follow to figure out how to make this work. Please help!!!!! Thanks
Most likely its your DVD player. Some older DVD players dont supposto DVD-R since they werent invented at the time. OR maybe your DVD player only supposts DVD+R and you are using DVD-R. It probably lists the supported media in your manual for the DVD player. If that doesnt solve the problem, are you burning a DVD disc or just taking the file and burning a data disc? You need to burn a DVD disc so your DVD player will read it.
Like mkaseatgb said, it's probably an incompatibility with your DVD player or the media, most likely the player. Check the specs of your player. Also what format is the video in?
It says in the manual that it will play DVD-R and that is what I use. I am not sure what format they are, I took it off the video camera onto the computer then burnt it onto DVD-R. I have no idea what im doing wrong, actually I don't know what I am doing period
you sure its DVD[bold]-[/bold]R and not DVD[bold]+[/bold]R?? That +/- makes a big differnece. If your sure you are using the right media, what program are you using to burn and what option are you selecting to burn. The only other thing I can think is that you are burning a data disc, not a DVD disc.
When I burn it to DVD it says it is a windows media/Video File. I know that is my problem but I don't know how to make it work. The DVD player is a Panasonic it says right in the manual that it will play DVD-R, it even says that videos recorder on a camcorder onto a DVD-R can be played. I have tried using the program "Ulead VideoStudio 7 SE basic" and "Windows movie maker" both make the DVD's the same.
ok, u need to covert the file to mpeg or .avi, your dvd player will most likely play those. try winavi.
Ahhh you got to him before I could, what kinza said. Winavi pretty straight forward, if you've used other programs you'll probably be able to figure that out.
Yes that seems to work fine, although it puts a tag that says Winavi right in the middle of the video, that wont work
This is totally irrelavant but was wondering why mkaseatgb thinks gobbles is a he? First, gobbles is asking directions (not a male thing to do). She (I'm betting gobbles is a girl) taped the wedding so she could watch it and show others. A guy would never do that...the honeymoon is a different story! I amuse myself with speculation...
It's perfectly alright for men to ask directions on anything besides driving directions I'm a girl myself, trust me, the last thing they do is ask driving directions.
Yet another clue...A guy wouldn't negotiate with a quid pro quo, he'd just want the damn answer. The mystery continues...
Looks like I never have to reveal the secret, I used "Nero SmartStart" and it worked awesome, thanks all for your help
Yea, it was kinda wrong of me to write him, sometimes I dont relize that there are women on this forum also!
