I want to burn a DVD that works in most DVD players. What DVD format should I use?

Question

I have a free trial of Cucusoft Video/DVD converter and I tried converting some videos I found on YouTube.com but, my DVD player can't play it. I would like to know what kind of format that DVD's use in general and if anyone has a comment on a specific format feel free to let me know. This DVD is for a school project so if anyone has anything to contribute, please do so, Thank You.

Answer 1

Just burn the DVD as "DVD Video" and you should be fine.

The program should be able to convert the video files for you.

If not, you can get a trial version of Nero pretty easily, which is by far the best DVD burning program out there.

Answer 2

DVD format is VOB or MPEG-2, I think that's the answer. You may try this all-in-one dvd creator, it can help you burn YouTube video to DVD, my friends recommend it to me, it's easy to use and works pretty well

Answer 3

Yea I would recommend using Nero.  Make sure you use a DVD that the dvd can play (dvd-r or dvd+r) check the player to see what they are compatable with, most will play both but a cheaper one may only play one or the other.  I would also test it out in the player you are using at school before you plan to show it in your project to make sure it all runs smoothly.

Answer 4

I would recommend you download ConvertXtoDVD. Ive been using it for a year now, on windows, never had a problem!

It will convert your video files to the dvd format readable by all standard dvd players, then burn automatically to DVD!
