Transferring music from computer to DVD

susi

Can anyone help, I am trying to put some music from my laptop on to a disc so my dad can play it on his DVD player. When I insert the disc into the DVD it is telling me its blank although it works perfectly on my laptop.

Does the manual for the DVD player say it will play any other formats than a properly-authored DVD-ROM?

In what format is the music? Mp3 files? Something else?

You need to burn those to a CD or CD-RW , a DVD doesn't work like that.

Of course that's assuming your dad's DVD player plays CD's ... it should do!

Some DVD players will play CD and/or DVD data discs, some won't. OP needs to check the documentation for the DVD player concerned.

There are DVD+ and DVD- formats , check which your Dad's player will at and what you have used. Also some ayers do not like folders ( older ones). DG

Thanks for your replies, yes it has shown photos that i have done for him before and I have got the correct format, it just seems to be the music for some reason, I wondered if it was a different method or if I needed to have special software to do it

What's the make and model of the DVD player?

Tell us what you mean by 'correct format'...
