Burning .mp4 to watchable dvd's?

guzzbuzz

Hi can anybody point me to a guide/software that explains how to burn a .mp4 file onto a dvd-r disk so it can play in a normal DVD player?

Thanks

Youll need to convert it to FivX (if your player supports that) or VOB first will you not?

I dont know how many dvd players can read the MP4 container format,

Yea i though i would have to convert it first

I tried with ImgBurn which i think tried to convert the file to a .iso which i then burnt to a blank disk but it did not work in the DVD player. It only works when i put the disk into the PC.

Is converting it to a .iso the wrong thing then, not sure if ImgBurn has the option for FivX or VOB?

My burner of choice is AppGeeker DVD Creator. It's easy to use and can burn just every files onto DVD disc. Great little program -- I've been using it for years.

ConvertXtoDVD free trial includes a watermark in the video output. Registered version is excellent.
