    Hi. I am trying to make my first DVD with my multiformat BenQ burner that I got for Christmas. I am using -R format DVD's and for some reason they wont play on my DVD player which is compatible with all DVD formats (JVC XVN312s). This is what I am doing; I am capturing from a Digital Satellite PVR (the Bell ExpressVu 5900) that is fed into my WinTV PVR 250. I am capturing in the "DVD Standard play" mpeg2 compression setting. I made the video with Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus and transferred it with the same. When I put it in my DVD player it wouldn't work. Then I tried it two additional times with WinDVD Creator and Nero 6 Ultra and had the same problem. They work on my computer but not on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

    Ps. This may be a stupid question but what is the advantage of using a program like pinnacle to enode an mpeg2 file so it can be exported to a video camera as DV?

    Look to the left under DVD players for what media is compatible with your player. If you using compatible discs burn at a slower rate and use good discs.

    It wouldn't hurt to make sure you have the latest updates for your software and make sure the firmware for your DVD burner is the current version.
