  1. Please advise ASAP.

    I copied URL's for a video on Dailymotion.com, and then converted them into MP4's. Next, I burned them to a DVD as I have with many of YouTube's videos. The problem when I played the DVD was that there was not any audio, and the movie would speed up.

    I* used convert2mp3.net and Freemake. Again, I have always used convert2mp3 for YouTube videos, and all were burned to a disc and would play on the DVD without any complications.

    Please advise as to how I may remedy this problem.
    Sincerely,
    Keith

    If your goal is to convert the video to DVD, why are you converting it to MP4 first and also converting the audio to MP3?

    You should use a program like AvstoDvd to convert the video directly to DVD-Video compliant format.

  3. I converted the URL to an MP4 so that I could burn it to a DVD to play in my DVD player. I have done this with YouTube, but never the same problem.

    It did burn to the DVD, however, there was no audio and the movie speeds up somewhat.

    Are these videos just MP4 data files stored on a DVD? ...or did you create a regular DVD video disc that any stand-alone DVD player can play? What are you using to play the DVD?

    [Edit] OK. I see you answered these questions while I was typing this. Never mind.

    Which Freemake product do you mean? Freemake Video Converter or Freemake You Tube MP3 converter?

    So which make and model of DVD player are you using? Most have restrictions on the types of video and audio they support for playback in MP4 files.

  7. Just follow Keyser's advice to use AvsToDVD and stop using garbage converters.

    You are right. I don't believe we have many DVD players with support for MP4 file playback in N. America. I think the feature may be more common for DVD players produced for other markets, as well as Blu-ray players sold anywhere in the world.

    [Edit]Regardless, there would be restrictions on MP4 file playback for both Blu-ray players and DVD players that accept MP4 files on DVD.

    A properly authored home-made DVD is more likely to be playable, assuming it is region free or the correct region, and matches the video system (PAL or NTSC) for the country .

  9. The files were burned to a DVD.

    YouTube URL's can be converted into an MP4, hence, that file can be burned to a blank DVD. I only used convert2mp3.net because it is easy. Convert2mp3.net can also convert to MP4 files. Again, any YouTube filed burned to a DVD can be played in a DVD player. That includes standalone and PS3. I use a PS3 to watch the burned files.

    The files that have no audio as such, were extracted from Dailymotion.

    So, is there a converter I can use to get the Dailymotion burned files to play without complications just like the YouTube files do?

    No, it can't. Not unless and until it's first converted to DVD compliant audio and video and authored for DVD. Yes, any MP4 can be burned as a data DVDR, but it won't necessarily play in any DVD player. Now, maybe you mean that your YouTube files have been converted for DVD, but that's not what you're saying.

    AvsToDVD has already been suggested twice.

    MP4 files support a number of different combinations of audio and video. H.264/AVC video and MP3 audio or H.264/AVC video and AAC audio are both common for website video, but your DVD player might only play one of them, or might only play something else entirely. Your player may also have restrictions on the resolution and bitrate that is allowed for video in MP4 files.

    If we knew the make and model of the DVD player you are using, there is a chance that someone might be able to download and read the manual to find out if it contains any information about the video and audio the DVD player can play in MP4 files. With that information, maybe somebody could tell you what converter to use.

    Without that information, AVStoDVD, which converts MP4s to authored DVDs, is the only recommendation we can give you. A properly authored DVD is the only thing that all DVD players are required to support.

    [Edit]If you don't know what DVD player you have, then you could download and install MediaInfo, then use MediaInfo to open an MP4 file on a DVD that plays with audio, and cut and paste the report from the "Text" option under the "View" menu in a post here. You would then do the same with an MP4 created from a DailyMotion video where the audio doesn't play for comparison.

  12. I will try AVS and let you know.

    Thank you all for your input.

  13. The problem with AVS is that it will not convert a URL to MP4 or AVI.

    Here is the one of the actual URL's that I have already converted to MP4.

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2fyyao_mission-impossible-s3-e01-the-heir-apparent_fun

    I have the MP4 on my drive. I have already burned it to a disc, but, alas, no audio; the episode also speeds up automatically somewhat. I have the entire season 3 converted to MP4 on my drive by using Freemaker. I have also used convert2mp3.net for MP4. Before it can be burned, the URL must be converted into a video file. For Mission Impossible, this is the first time that I have attempted to convert a URL into an MP4 from Dailymotion. This is only because YouTube does not offer Mission Impossible episodes. I believe that if the Mission Impossible episodes were on YouTube, they would play on the DVD with audio and no complications. I have never had a problem with a YouTube conversion to MP4 burned to a DVD give me a problem.

  14. As you can see after you click the URL, it will play normal with sound. Again, my dilemma is after it is burned to a DVD-R. I emphasize once more that this is the first time that I have attempted to convert a URL to MP4 from dailymotion.com.

    First of all, you cannot "convert a URL" to MP4, to AVI, or to whatever.

    First you must download a video file, then you can convert it.

    Also, it seems this topic might be violating the rules of this forum, since you mentioned copyrighted material:

  17. Of course you must download and convert. Have you not read anything? The problem is not downloading and converting.

  20. I understand perfectly. None of you understand what I am trying to do. None of you know how to assist, so you keep over analyzing.

    Yep, it was a big mistake to come on here. It is so laughable how off track you all are.

    I will never reply here again, or even read any of your follow up messages you post.

    Good riddance to you!��

    Right. Anyone should be able to understand exactly what you mean, even when you insist on calling various things by the wrong name and use vague language when describing your problem. ...and to add to the fun, when someone tries to figure out what you mean, you ignore a reasonable question about the playback device that you claim to be using, and won't provide any information about the video and audio you are trying to play other than "it came from DailyMotion and I converted it to an MP4 file".

    The usual mistake: When people mention a "DVD player", they don't really mean a "DVD Video player", and they don't mean "DVD Video media".

    Instead, they mean a "something out of everything burned on a disc" player. And don't understand that they play only something, but not everything.

    The only widely compatible format (named "DVD Video") would require MPEG-2 video and {AC3 or PCM} audio, authored to a structure of VOB and IFO files, with a lot of constraints (e.g. only specific video resolutions and frame rates etc.). Too complicated for a beginner in video conversions, I believe. It would require efforts to understand the consequences.

    Any other video files, burned onto a disc, may or may not play, depending on the capabilities and firmware of the player, and the attributes of the clips.

    Never ceases to amaze me the number of people who come on here who can't answer simple questions ie the OP, get frustrated at the replies they get, insult the other members and bugger off.

    TBH most of them seem like trolling to me.
