it just wont play

[Guest]

i am not computer savvy at all....... i made a movie with audio on my movie
maker and it saved fine and plays back fine on my computer... when i copied
it on to a cd it would not play in any of my dvd players all of them are
highmat compatible.
it says that i have a highmat file on my dvd menu but refuses to play it. i
know it has to be the movie maker cuz i sent it as an email and saved it and
it played fine..... how do i get it to work directly off my
computer??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
please help it for my dads birthday and its pics of his grandchildren with
audio before he goes blind!

How did you "copy" it to the cd?
Did you use the save movie file process in Movie maker and choose the save
to cd option?
Are you 100% sure your dvd players are HiMat compatible, as the vast
majority are not.

Please, please let me know if you get this sorted. I have exactly the same
problem. There's a menu on the DVD player that says hi-mat and then 3 sub
folders that say ..., images and playback. I suspect that my DVD player does
not support Hi-mat which is a pain. Is there any way around this?

What about if you recorded the movie you have made back onto your video
camera. Then connected this to the tv and recorded it (if you have a
recordable DVD - which i do not).

Any suggestions?

Try pressing "SKIP <<" on your DVD player, it works for me!
