Burned DVD won't play on my TV DVD player

[itzamike]

After using Windows movie maker and buring a DVD on my Sony DVD player I can not play it on my TV's player. I've burned the DVD twice, once in NTSC format and once without that format and still can't play it on my TV.

Any help would be appreciatied.

Hey,

Would be helpful if you told us the model TV. Are you sure that is will read dvd-r+rs?

You used WMM to turn What into What?
Whatever it was, it'd need to be converted to MPEG2 and then authored to DVD format, then burned to DVD, unless you've got a DVD player that can display AVI.

Just a follow to my first msg. I used WMM to capture a 8mm movie from my digital camcorder and then added pictures to the movie to make one complete movie. I copied the movie to DVD using my Sony DVD writer R/RW. I use NTSC format for which I thought I could view on my TV with my JVC XV-S300 DVD player, but all I get is a error msg.

And HOW did you do that? Did you just burned the WMM file straight to a DVD, and expected it to play in your DVD player?

If that's what you did, that's your problem. Video DVD is quite a bit more involved than just slapping a PC movie file onto a DVD disk.
