Newbie Help please!!!

[susanmcorless]

Hi all,

I need a bit of advice please,

I've downloaded 24 epsiodes in .mpg format and they play on my PC through WMP fine, what I want to do is burn them onto DVD+RW which I've done,but when I put the disc in my dvd standalone player it says no disc. I have tried playing the disc in my pc and its fine, would I need to have a region free dvd player in order for this to work?

I've tried to search through this vast website for help but I am really confused with all the terms and don't really know what I'm looking for.

Any help would be really appreciated, oh my my DVD player does support DVD+RW.

Thanks
Susan

You have to author them to DVD, VCD or SVCD format.

You can't just burn the video files on the disc and it play in your stand alone.

[teegee420]

You need to determine exactly what kind of file you have too. Open one the mpegs with VideoToolbox and find out what resolution and bitrate it has. Also, would you be content with putting the mpegs on several CD's, or are you trying to put them on DVD's?

I think you may be talking about warez. Downloading copyrighted material is illegal.


That being said, make sure your standalone can play burned discs. I still have an old one that won't play anything burned (cd-r, dvd+/-r, etc)

I took it to mean that she downloaded episodes of the show "24".

[susanmcorless]

Yes the show '24'.

oooppppps sorry about that, I don't even know what warex means.

I'll leave you all alone and won't ask questions of this sort.
