If you only have a CD burner then you have two choices of disc format: VCD and SVCD.  I'd suggest SVCD if your disk burning software (Nero, Roxio, Sonic, Ulead, etc.) supports it.\n\nThe format that WMM burns to CD is HighMAT Video CD which isn't supported except by a few old models of Panasonic DVD players.  Or if you just burn the movie to a CD, you again aren't creating a video CD, just a data CD.  The file will be playable on a computer, but unless it is saved in *video* CD format (VCD/SVCD) it won't work.\n\nThe best option though, if you have a DVD burner is to burn a video DVD... again, the solution is your separate disk burning software since WMM can't do this directly.

You can convert them to vcd or svcd and burn them with your cd burner in that format but you need burning software that will burn a disk in that format. I have nero and have had no problems. Also you need a dvd player that supports vcd's and svcd's and then you can play them on your dvd player. I have been doing it for years now. Vcd stands for video Compact Disk and svcd stands for super video compact disk.

A cd-r/w will only copy cd/r and cd/rw ..It sounds as if you only have a dvd player--not a dvd writer installed on your system..you can copy the two types of cd's,though

you can play DVDs if you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive. I have not seen any DVD/CD-ROM combo drives, usually they can write CDs but not write DVDs but they can play DVDs.\n\nOr they are just saying "CD drive" when it really is a DVD-rom drive.

you ar eprobably trying to write it as a type you need to unlock with a code key. or the media will not fit in that type of save. nero is my favorite for all but movies that i want as a vcd or dvd. save as a data disc not the other options it will be fine. be sure the disc in the drive is the correct type , if nero is looking for a dvdr and you have a cdr in it you need to tell nero it is cdr or it will error. to burn playable movies i use sonic mydvd  you can make vcd and dvd with custom layout for menu. if you just want it backed up for pc tell nero DATA disc .

The newer versions of the Windows Media Player can't play DVD's believe it or not because they don't come with the codecs needed.\n\nGo to this web page and download Media Player Classic v.6.4.9.0 (it's free) this program will play DVD's\n\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/Media_Player_Classic_download.htm

OK first you need a DVD-Rom Drive which will read DVD disks these are very cheap these days. Then you need software that can play it I recommend Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.0. Then once that is installed just put a DVD in a Cyberlink PowerDVD, Windows Media Player 9 and above and Real Player will play them. Note Windows Media Player and Real Player cannot play DVDs until Cyberlink PowerDVD is installed.

Nero will do it but I dont think it will play on your DVD player. I use WinAvi to convert mine first and then burn it with Nero and they play fine in my DVD player....hope that helped.\n\n-Doc-

First check whether you have DVD-ROM on ur system. Then put the disc in. The label should be on top side. Then open Windows media player. Then click the inverted triangle icon on the top left of the window u opened. Then click \nPLAY--->DVD OR VCD----->THEN UR DRIVE.\nIF THAT DOESNT WORKS DOWNLOAD vlc media player from:\nhttp://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2194_4-10497762.html?tag=lst-0-1\ndownload and install

First you need to rip the cd so open windows media player 9 or 10 and click rip. select the songs you want and they will be put on your computer. Then import the songs into windows movie maker.

Forget Windows Media Player and get the VLC Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html (it supports all video codecs)

Use the software that came with your DVD writer. If these are avi files that you downloaded they may not convert to mpeg which is what your DVD writer software has to do before it can make a DVD to be played in any TV's or PC' DVD player. This meaning it will come up with a title screen like a store bought DVD.\n\nIf you just want to back up the movies to DVD use the DVD writer software that came with the DVD writer. You will be able to still watch the movies on your PC. Unless you have a Phillips model DVP642 which will play most avi files just by coping them to a blank DVD.

I hate to tell you this, but MS moviemaker is a Microsoft product, Windows media player should play this!  If your version of Windows media player is not playing the moviemaker file I suggest you update. Windows media player 10 is stable.  Make sure that you install all security updates for this program.
