car dvd player

[ibrownben]

i bought a JVC in dash DVD player ( KW - AVX706 ) and i am trying to figure out how to play MPEG or MPG Music videos on it.. it says it can play DVD - or + and RW .. i am burning it as data using HP DVD program i also tryed using NERO and burning it. when i try to play it in my car it says not supported and when i burn the MP3 and the MPG on the same Disc the MPG doesnt even show up on the play list.

Have you been able to play any divx videos?
How big are the mpg files? what extension are you using? .mpg?

It's mainly just DivX DVD Players that supports mpg file playback.

But the http://www.divx.com/products/hw/detail.php?p=344 says that it supports divx...?

Unless your player supports content formats other than DVDvideo, you will have to author DVDs with your videos. DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD+RW are writable media formats, not content formats.

Check the guides (links on the left) for how to author DVDs.

It bothers me that the website says the following:

Direct playback of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files for playback versatility and convenience

This means it SHOULD work. I can suggest some reasons why it isn't working.
1) Unfortunately, Nero's default behavior is to NOT close anything it burns. If your discs aren't closed, that's a problem.
2) Unfortunately again, Nero also defaults to multisession mode. That is bad bad bad! It is totally evil! It should NEVER be the default. Very few DVD players can correctly read a multisession disc. If you are making multisession discs, I guarantee you that this is a problem. Also you should burn in Disc-At-Once mode and NOT Track-At-Once mode for best results.
3) Your player may not like your media brand. We don't know what you're using, so it's certainly possible.
4) It's unlikely, but you could be burning to some weird data mode like UDF 2.0 that is maybe causing problems for the player.

ok.. but how do i burn it or with what type do i burn it with ... .mpg? or do i have to convert it to divx? or do i have to get a codec?

If it's homemade stuff, dvdauthorgui should do fine. But it won't take a muxed mpeg or vob.
EVO Demux would make a nice companion.
