problem burning .mpg to Rewritable CD

[comet]

Hi,

I downloaded a movie .mpg file and burned it to a Rewritable CD using Adaptec CD Creator 4. When I burned the CD, it gave me a warning message saying something like "burning an audio file to a Rewritable CD would not work on a DVD player".

The CD played well on PowerDVD. However, only a black screen appeared on the DVD Player. Do I have to burn the .mpg to a Recordable CD as opposed to Rewritable one?

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention that I have a Pioneer DVD-440 player.

I'm not so sure if Adaptec Creator 4.0 support for vcd, svcd format (haven't use them for a decade). There's nothing wrong with CDRWs you can burn and play them in almost every DVD players. The benefit of CDRW, you can test your movie before you burn to CDR and re-use it again. Some dvd player can play only with CDRW not CDR. So I think you should go for CDRW.

One more benefit about using CDRW, you don't have to come back and whine about "COASTER". :P :P

Thanks. I will use another burner and try again.

I thought it was the other way round, that most DVD players could read CDRs, and not as many can read CD RWs, cuz of the wavelenght of the laser or something..... maybe i'm just imagining it though.... but the dvd player on my comp does not read any CD RWs, only CDRs, so I test them on my CDRW drive in windvd before making the final copy onto a CDR
