Burning home movies on to DVD, to play in home systems

[Guest]

Any one know how to burn Home movies so that they play on a house DVD player. Used Windows Movie Maker Plus to edit. Saved the movie as 3.7M Movie Maker project file, then converted it to a 1.41G Windows Media Audio/Video file. Have tried reformatting the movie to NTSC? using windows movie maker then used
TMPGEnc to change the format to a 4.08 G Mpeg, still no luck! Is there a process out there that makes this any easier?And is there a user friendly program out there to expediate this process? Also is any one DVD accepted in DVD players more than the others DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW.

Along with Papajohns site. Have a look at www.dvdrhelp.com it has most dvd
players listed and what they can and can't play.
There seem to be some problems with what you are doing though!!
For best quality from MM, save teh movie as a dv-avi file, not WMV.
It will be in ntsc if it started that way, if it started as PAL and you
haven't got specialist software, you'll never get a good result.
If you use the DV-avi file in TMPG dvdauthor, then you'll have a finished
dvd at the end, not just tmpgenc. Otherwise not so good quality will be the
likes of Nero etc.
TMPG best quality settings can be found here.

along with some other useful info, and if you look elsewhere in the archive
there you'll come across links to trial dvd authoring software.

I have had good luck with Sonic's "My DVD Studio Deluxe. You can save your movie under FILE . . . Save Movie File and after you do that MY DVD will do what it needs to to to put it on a DVD. And it does play in my cheap DVD player. MY DVD costs about $100.

After you convert your wmv or avi to mpeg, you need to
split up the mpeg into 2 files, and audio and video file
(TMPGEnc Plus DVD Author Software). Then you need to
convert them into vob files.
