burning divx file to dvd

[yesnikki]

I have a divx compatable standalone dvd player and have tried burning divx and avi movies direct to dvd but they wont play on my dvd player, it says ´no disk. The dvd player can play these files from my usb stick so why not from a dvd. I am burning the dvd disks with windows media player 11.

Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? I really dont have to time to convert them all the dvd format and bought my dvd player so as not to have to convert everything.

Maybe you are making a multisession disc. Try close the disc or use another burning tool like CDburnerXp and don't make any multisession, close it and use ISO/UDF mode.

download something like deepburner free and just burn a regular data disc.

windows media player should be avoided at all costs.

if you cant download deepburner free just use windows disc utility to burn a divx file as data to a disc.
works for me everytime

windows media player is junk...... (imo)

www.deepburner.com/?r=download

choose version 1.8 free version

when u start the program select 'data disc' and 'no multisession' as the program starts, i used this program for three years, its brilliant.

also check that your dvd player plays dvd + and or dvd- and check which you are trying to burn. I made this error on my friends pc which only burns dvd+ and I use dvd - and + , It took four attempts to discover my F*** Up!

you can always burn a typical 700MB avi file to CDr, this should play in a divx dvd player too. Works for me,

MP4 dvd players are a godsend!

thanks for advise, am burning as a write.. tried to use CDr but files are too big... will let you know soon whether this has worked using deepburner. CDburnerXP says it is not good for standalone dvd players.. so trying the other first.. Thanks
