saving file in dvd to be watched in dvd player

[tappino75]

Hi,
just saved my finished project on dvd as wmv (also avi I tried) but I
couldn't managed to see it on dvd player, just hearing the audio but couldn't
see the video. How should I save the file?
Thanx

When you insert the DVD in the DVD drive on the computer and open an
explorer window, do you see the name of the file ending with WMV (or AVI)?

If so, you created a data disk. You will need software that creates movie
DVDs, not just data DVDs.

By chance, do you have Windows Vista and used DVD Maker? If not,
how are you creating the DVD that you want to watch using a normal
DVD player?

Are you using +DVD or -DVD? I am not sure that makes a difference,
but I thought I'd mention it because I think I read somewhere that some
DVD types are more compatible with DVD players than others. I hope
some one chimes in to either confirm or deny this ;-)

You can't simply save a file to a DVD. You must have DVD Authoring software.
This software will convert your movie into the prper format and burn it to
the DVD. See PapaJohn's website for more info.
