DVD format?

[Guest]

I burned a DVD from Windows Movie maker..
it works on a friends home DVD player but not mine!

OY..

Is there a way to burn a DVD that will play in any dvd player?

Thanks

How did you burn the DVD? It's not possible from WMM directly. You must have
used some other software. Roxio etc etc? Also, which type of DVD?
DVD -R, -RW, +R, +RW etc. Dual-Layer?

DVD -R or +R are probably the most stable on stand-alone DVD players, but
there is no easy standard yet...

Which player works and which doesn't? (Brand/Model)

I used "Click to DVD"

The home player is a "Daewood dvd p480" not sure about the friends player.

There is no WMM Click to DVD option.

Why should I use more energy than you to fix your problem?

You asked " what software did you use"? My answer was "Click to DVD" in
QUOTES.. that means "Click to DVD" is a proper name, thus it is the name of
the software--

on windows media center pc's there IS a burn to DVD option !!!

the real answer is not all DVD players will play all homemade DVD's
I have 3 or 4 DVD players at home and some will play DVD-R some DVD+R, one
won't play any homemade DVD. Ironically the $39.00 dvd player From WallMart
will play everything. if your player is older it is very possible it will
have trouble with some disks. you could try using a different disk type
(+R, -R, RW, etc...)

ummm Mac there is a version of WMM that has a "Save to DVD" option. IE:
MCE2005 on Windows Media Edition PC's.
Plus "Click to DVD" is a DVD Authoring program, although not a very good
one, that comes proprietary with Sony computers.
Orcas: The fact is that some DVD Players have issues with either DVD+R or
especially DVD-R disks.
Sometimes a DVD Player will only work with one or the other. I suggest, if
your burner can work with both, that you try +R instead of -R or vice versa.
Also in some cases it is the DVD brand that is an issue.
