How do i view DVD-R on my dvd?

Question

i have a camcorder and recorded a video when i go to put it in my DVD in that little space in the middle it sais format not supported please help

Answer 1

There are unfortunately FIVE different DVD formats.  Not all players support all five.

DVD is what you get from the store or Blockbuster, etc.

DVD-R is one user-recordable format

DVD+R is another user-recordable format

DVD-RW is the re-writable form of DVD-R

DVD+RW is the re-writable form of DVD+R

You can either go buy a cheap DVD player that supports the DVD-R disc you have, or as the other person suggests, use a computer and write it to a DVD+R disc.  Before you do that, make sure your player supports DVD+R.  If you have an older player, it might not support either one.

Good luck!

Answer 2

it probably records as a file.

copy it to your pc and then burn is as a video dvd on a dvd
