The avi2dvd programm will it be able to convert mpeg to dvd format as i can fnd no mention of the software preforming this conversion on the avi2dvd website

I have burned it as a dvd data disc on a DVD+r but it will only play in my computer and not on a dvd player ...i need to have it so that it plays in a dvd player (whatever format that is) as it is for my aunty who doesn't have a computer

dvd2svcd will do this and it's free. For advice have a look at https://www.doom9.org he has some useful guides on there. Also, https://www.videohelp.com has some useful info and guides.

Be aware that video conversion can take a fair old time unless you have a beast of a PC

That's strange, that it does not play on a normal DVD player. Both of my players play raw MPEG files.

When you play the file in a media player, go to properties and tell me what is there. In terms of file type, pixel size and frames per second.

Donnie

If it IS MPEG, could it be that your DVD player doesn't play DVD+R?

Thanks Donnie

The file is MPEG video
size 1.97 GB (2,117,625,856 bytes)
size on disc 1.97 GB (2,117,627,904 bytes)

I don't think it is my dvd player as it plays other dvd copies and multi region stuff no problem ...i don't have a divx player i think they might play this type of file ....but thats my problem I don't really understand this stuff to well

Pixel size( *** x ***) and frames per second(fps) please. You'll get that from the Media Player when you are playing the video.

I have tried this and it doesn't work either it says i have to download CCE SP
or TMPG or Canopus ProCoder these all cost alot of money for it to work....I might be doing something wrong and that is a very likely possibility

I tryed it without downloading the extras and it won't let me convert the file or anything I got strange error messages about pv sommats not an easy tool to use very confusing


I may need a complete idiots guide to it
