Default Playing Movies made in Windows Movie Maker


I just finished and saved my movie to a CD but I cannot get it to play in my CD/DVD player. Could someone give me some ideas?

It won't work with today's DVD players.... the discs you burn today with MM2
will only play on computers.

To make one that plays on a DVD player, you need to use other software and
burn a standard VCD or SVCD... see the CD Burning section of my site for
some pointers.

Some DVD Players won't play the disc automatically but will show 'PCB' on their display. In this case just pressing the play button won't work. On Panasonic DVD players I discovered that you must press STOP, then the display will show number of video clips and total time recorded on disc
Next, press 'PREVIOUS SEGMENT OR CLIP' and the display will start flashing the number of clips recorded. If you've recorded only one clip press 'PLAY'. Otherwise press "PREVIOUS' until the clip number you want to watch appears
May I suggest purchasing one of the cheap DVD players, DAYTEK, for example, for around $50.00 they play almost everything, it's frustrating that the more expensive can't match them for features.
