Question

please help.

Answer 1

If you do what "The Cat" says and it still won't work, try using a DVD-R disk instead of the RW. Not all players will play RW, but they do all expect you to "create" a DVD rather than copy files to one.

Answer 2

How did you burn your DVD?  If you burn it as a data DVD, DVD player won't be able to play it.  You need to use a DVD creation software.  Your DVD burner should come with simple one.

Answer 3

There are a number of issues that could be your problem. I highly recommend the "Guides" at Afterdawn.com. They cover all aspects of copying and playback, including trying to put mpeg files on a DVD.  See the link.
