Will any DvD burner burn discs that will play in my TV's DvD player? I see some burners cost $89 and some are several hundred and I wonder if the cheap one will work for me.

I bought a cheap one and yes it will work. You just need to know if your DVD player plays DVD+R or DVD-R or both. Then buy media according to that. Most I believe play in DVD+R. Also, any DVD burner you buy will also burn CD's.

The video format is determined by your software and not by your burner.  There is software availible for purchase (or you can get it from limewire or a similar filesharing service) that will allow you to burn CDs which can be played on most DVD players\n\nLook for something that uses MPEG4 or DivX formats :)

I don't know the answer to your exact question, but I can tell you that there is software to do this on your computer.  DVD Encrypter is one, and I think you can find it for free.  DVD burners for your PC are like $40, so you can probably afford a second one.  If you'd like me to get you more info on how to burn from PC, email me.

I think you have to pay for almost all DVD players. There is a free one called VLC media player, which plays DVDs and you can get at the link below.

dvdshrink has worked perfectly for me for years.  You jsut need to have the software that came with your dvd burner to actually put it onto a disk - dvd shrink will convert the files and save them on to your hard drive (unless you have nero, then it will burn it automagically)

actually you can't 'just burn it' as previously suggested, but you do need to change the format into one your dvd player will recognize.\n\nYes Nero will do this for you, you can use Nero Recode, tell it to add the video file you want, from there you can setup menus and all the other good stuff!  Once you are ready to go you can then burn it onto a dvd and it will play in your dvd player on tv\n\nif you need anymore assistance please feel free to contact me and i can assist you.

Yes, use Nero 6, and select "create DVD-video". Then add your files (it lets you choose any of the formats) to your project and burn them. It recodes the video files to allow them to be played in any DVD player (or PS2).

some DVD players cannot play .avi format so you can either:\n\n1. convert your .avi files to mpeg files and burn them to your DVD. theres a lot of free converters out there and you can check www.download.com.\n\n2. look for a software that burns video files into DVD automatically so that you wouldn't have to worry about file formats since these softwares converts them automatically anyways. I think you can use ULEAD for this though I think NERO also has it.

Yes, most movies WILL be able to be burned via DVD burners. This doesn't mean ALL though. I won't say who, but I know a friend that has had quite a bit of trouble burning a movie or two. He's burned probably about 200 though, and maybe 10 or so didn't burn properly. So, it's definitely worth buying a burner.\n\nTo actually do the burning though. You'll want to use DVD Shrink. www.dvdshrink.org\n\nEnjoy! :)

You need to get a burning software like Nero or CloneDVD to burn that to a DVD so you can watch it on any DVD player.\n\n\nUpdated:\nIf you have Nero, then use Nero's Burn a DVD Video feature and drag those files and folders exactly as is into the program.  Read the instruction for more details.

when burning DVDs or CDs, you need to have enough speed from your CPU and available memory to handle the data without interruption.\nturn off other programs, don't be doing IM, listening to music, downloading, etc etc etc while burning.\nmany times you can also adjust the burn speed.\nnormally a DVD is set to burn at it's fastest possible speed by default.\nMany times if you turn down the record speed a notch or 2, it will work.\nYou also have to have blank DVDs that are rated for the speed AND protocol that you are using.\nSome burners will take just about any blank, others want specific types, like DVD+ or DVD-.\nCheck your burner's documentation.

You may already have the software to make a VCD (video CD) if your burner came with Nero or EZCD Creator.\n\nWhat you have to do is to have the DVD re-encoded to VCD format. Once burnt, it will then play more like a VHS tape since you will lose many of the DVD features.\n\nAt VideoHelp.com (1) you will find links to tutorials that will teach you the different steps using multiple programs.\n\nSuperDVD Ripper might be simpler (2) It looks like one bit of software does it all. Here's what their Website says:\n" Super DVD Ripper software can also  copy DVD to VCD or SVCD, so to backup dvd movie to cdr discs thus no DVD burner is required,  direct burning to CD which can be played in your DVD player! Super DVD Ripper is a good dvd copy software to backup DVD."\n\nThey have a free trial download to get you started.

Use the right speed of disc! The speed of burning is depending on the speed of the disc and the maximum speed of the burner, whichever is the slower one.\n\nAnd don't buy cheap disc. They may have poor quality and just couldn't last. ALso, store your disc in proper boxes.

The dvd players can read any video files that you have burnt using software for DVD video burning. Try Intervideo WinDVD Creator. The format it creates is .vob, you can also add menus, pictures etc. These softwares need to be purchased, they are not free.
