Does a .wmv play on a dvd player?

Question

I have created a movie on Windows movie maker and now I want to play it on TV using the dvd player. Can it play it or do I have to convert it. If I have to convert it then what format.

Also will .avi work if I do the same thing?

Answer 1

For sure WMV will not play on any DVD player, and only some few AVI's with DivX encoding *might* play on some DVD players.

Yes you do need to get a converter.

I'd suggest you download Convert X to DVD v.3

i summarize by sayin: its easy to use, and works perfectly.

It lets you burn multiple video files (including AVI) to DVD, along with amazing DVD menus.

I'm a movie enthusiast, so I've tried many DVD burning tools out there, they are rly many.. but only few do the job right.

My fav is Convert X to DVD.

i'll try guiding you step by step...

I)   Download n run ConvertXtoDVD by clicking here:

http://www.burner-software.com/AVI-to-DV...

II)  Drag-drop your video files onto the tool

III) Click the [Convert] button

and you're done! but there are also extra features like customizing the DVD menu, adding subtitles, and hmm alot of useful things actually.

I'm sure you'll love the tool. give it a try ;)
