I have a few videos on my computer, but I don't know what format they need to be in to play on my DVD palyer. Right now, they play on windows media player. Also, how do I tell if my computer's dvd player can also burn dvds?

Yeah, first you'll know by looking on your computer ROM cover, It'll say "DVD-RW" if you see this there then you can burn but if it say CD-RW then you can only burn cd and not dvd. Knowing what entension your video can play, first look at your video player manua if you still have it, you'll see all kind of format your video support, then you'll know which format to use and yeah you can freeware to convert them, Nero software can also burn movie that you can play on most DVD player so if you have Nero software you can use it and choose the DVD option and let it do the rest.\ngood luck.

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.

DVD Shrink works on older DVD's by itself but now with the newer DVD's you have to do a 2 step process before you burn to DVD...\n\nYou have to use a program called DVDFab Decrypter to decode the  copyright. Then take all those files that DVDFab rips and use DVD Shrink to "shrink" them.\nThen burn the files from DVD Shrink's output directory to your DVD.\n\nOf course,.... this is what I heard your supposed to do. ;-)

what is on the dvd? is it a movie or it some kind of software? if it is software, then you just put it in the drive and usually it will run right away. if it is a movie, you can play it in the media player. but to actually copy the contents you need some special software that will copy it. you can search the internet for some free software to download. good luck!

Most computers with a CD burner or a DVD burner come with a bundled software. The common ones that I know of are Roxio and Nero. Launch these applications and choose to burn/create a video file. These would open up a screen that would allow you to choose that .avi file that you have and it would automatically convert it into that desired format for playing into you vcd/dvd player

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.

I have both and yes, you can still use your windows media player. When you put a disk in, either a CD or DVD, a window will pop up giving you a choice on which one you want to use.

DVD -R is the most compatible format for playing in a traditional DVD player. The hard part is going to be taking your individual pictures and put them in a slideshow type format so they can be displayed as a 'movie'.\n\nI think that windows moviemaker has this kind of feature built into it.\n\nUPDATE: Google's application called Picasa has this feature. Link below.

Your question is not very clear so if you can clarify a bit, maybe i can help you out.\n\nWhen you say you have it burnt onto WMP in video, do you mean you have a WMV file of the Element Skateboarding video?  And you want that WMV file to play on a DVD?\n\nAssuming what I stated above is correct, you will need some type of application that can convert that WMV video file into a DVD compliant video file and then you need to go thru the process called DVD authoring in order to create a DVD that plays on your DVD player.\n\nAlso, depending on the quality of your wmv file, you may get very mixed results as far as video quality and resolution and at times may not even work at all.\n\nGo to the forum at dvdrhelp.com and search for wmv to dvd and with a little luck you may find a freeware that can help you do all of that.\n\nhere are a few links to get you going:\nhttp://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1599272&highlight=wmv+dvd#1599272\n\nhttp://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1594382&highlight=wmv+dvd#1594382\n\nhttp://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?searchtext=&tools=&madeby=&formatconversionselect=WMV+to+DVD&howtoselect=%3B&orderby=Date&listall=1&hits=25&archive=0&search=Search+or+List+Guides

Make sure your dvd palyer is set to play region 1 dvds. My computer never registered our player, and it turned out that it was set to the standard European format. If you live in the US of A (and you want to play dvds that were bought here), it needs to be set to region one.

This is Yahoo Answers, not Yahoo sermons, thanks. It's more likely you have the region settings for your dvd player wrong than that god has smote your laptop. A lot more likely... It's also possible that the DVD has copy protections and wont allow itself to play on a dvd rom, only a dvd player. You'd need some program to bypass the protections in that case.

Check to see if you have the proper dvd codecs installed.  This can be an issue, especially if you're using Windows Media Player.  Also try updating the drivers, either through MS or though Dell (since it is Dell product).  Also, if you have multiple dvd/cd burning programs installed it might cause conflicts.

Do you plan on burning these onto DVD so you can watch them on your DVD player connected to your television? Or do you plan on watching these on your computer screen. \n\nIf your going to watch these on your television the movies will look very bad due to the compression that was done on them to make the files small on the web. It would be a major waste of a DVD and your time doing so. \n\nIf you plan on burning a lot of these compressed movies onto a DVD so you can watch them on your computer monitor, it would be ok but dont expect any high definition videos from any site that is streaming the video or offering it free to the public.\n\nDVD burners can be used for more than just movies and things like that, you can use them for backing up files on your computer just in case your computer has a problem down the road.

If your computer doesn't have native AVI or WM* file compatibility, you may need to convert them to VOB files, which is the native file format of DVD players.  \n\nA program like Nero Vision will do that for you.  You can download a copy of the demo of Nero Ultra 7 at www.nero.com .\n\nHope this helps!\nMM

You can download a free programme called DVD SANTA.  Use it to convert various types of files (mpeg, avi, wmv etc..) to VOB files which will allow play in a dvd player.  I've used it, it's easy.

cd+g can be used as Karaoke and need a player that is compatible to view them. Many stand alone dvd players should play them\nYou need to burn them on a CDR\n\nSome links for you to browse through
