Regarding the burning of DVDs...

Question

So I have a program called Divx and it helps burn my movie files onto recordable DVDs. I put about 6 large files on my DVD since I could put some 4000 MB on the DVD and I clicked 'burn'. It supposedly burned and I went to my DVD player to see if it worked. It didn't and only said 'eject disc' because it didn't have the required playback information. I put the dic back into my computer and I have the option of choosing which of the 6 movie files to watch. It works on my computer. Why doesn't it work on any other DVD player? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

Answer 1

Divx does not burn dvds.....it just makes divx compressed videos.

Divx is a compression standard.

You are not burning dvd movie disk, but just data disks that contain files...

DIVX is an MPEG4 standard.

DVD is a MPEG2 tx standard...

You will need to recomprompress the files to mpeg2 for dvd, which will only allow you to store 1 movie per disk or get a dvd player that also plays divx...
