You can only put mpeg1/mpeg2 in standard mpg.


If it's mpeg4 divx/xvid and your player support divx then put it in an avi container instead.


edit: Or well I guess you can put mpeg4 h264 in mpg but it will not play.

If a DVD player can play formats like divX, MP4, etc, it will say so on the front.
Also, it's useful to have a DVDRW to test things like that. I have one I've used hundreds of times over the past 6 years.
