From: Iplayjazz on 23 Apr 2008 19:44 trying to do a windows movie maker video and then burn to a dvd-r that can be read by stand alone consumer DVD player. WMM lets you save as a lot of different formats. I have tried NTSC, avi, and just High Quality Video(which is .wmv). None of them play in our standalone DVD player but they all work on our laptop/desktop players. What gives? thanks Alan

I have some that do and others that don't. Some will only play DVD-R and others only DVD+R and I have one that will play any kind. There is really no standard when it comes to DVD players.

Nero Vision Express ( comes with any full version of Nero ) is an entry level DVD creation tool. Limited menu options but it will get the job done. sk > > -- > Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email > ________ ____ > / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / __ )____ > / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ / __ \ > / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / > \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_____/\____/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo > Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits > Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

NVE is what I settled on a few months ago when I started burning a lot of DVD's from my DVR.

No matter what software/hardware you use, there is no such thing as a home-burned DVD that will play in every player in the world. Computers are more forgiving than stand-alone players. 2. According to my research and personal experience, media brand/model is by far the most important variable. According to my research and experience, Taiyo Yuden is the best brand. Some people recommend one TY product over another, but I have yet to see that. (If you are unsuccessful working your way through the media thing, you might have to consider your burner.) 3. Stand-alone burners are real picky about what they'll play. They sometimes won't play anything they didn't personally burn! 4. Even if you avoid the potential gotchas in #2 and #3, see the first sentence in #1. |
