DivX to DVD authoring

[ndberry]

I am sure this is a something that is a pretty common question and I have read many of the guides. I have downloaded about 4 different programs trying to figure out how to get this to work but so far nothing is working for me. I am able to burn the DVD from an image file I create using ImgBurn and I am able to burn the image to a DVD but when I put it into my DVD player it just says "No Play". I am not sure if this is a problem with my DVD player, how I am burning my files, the type of media I am using, or what it is. Please any help would be appreciated.

Imgburn is pretty fool proof. To test if the disc has burned correctly, put it back in your PC, and use Media Player Classic to open it (File -> Open DVD disc). if it plays, generally the burn is not the issue.

Information that is missing from your profile and post is :

Location - location denotes format, and format can be an issue.

How you converted - what software and process. Not all software is created equal.

What media you use. There is a lot of second and third rate media out there, and it does affect playback.
