Burning your own DVDs? Format?

Question

I tried to burn an MP4 movie onto a RW DVD, and when i put in in the DVD player it didn't accept it.

Is there a certain format that the movies have to be before you put them onto a blank DVD? Ifso, is there a convertor?

Answer 1

what you just did is just burning the file onto the dvd and making a data disk... what you want to do is make a video disk.. depending what software your using.. you might be able to do this..i cant tell which mostly because i am using a mac..

Answer 2
