Why can`t I play a DVD I have created on my TV?

Question

I have made some photos of a special lunch into a movie using Windows movie maker and burned it onto a DVD. Now I can`t get the DVD to play on my pc or on my tv?

Can anyone help please.

Answer 1

I've never used WMM but doesn't that create WMV files?  You need to create an MPEG2 file and make sure you are creating a DVD-Video not an ISO.  Your DVD should contain a folder called Video_TS which contains .VOB files.

Answer 2

It may be in the wrong format...what format does your dvd play....if it plays all formats then I have no idea.

Answer 3

If it does not play on the PC it may be the wrong format for a movie.  But you say you used movie maker.

If it does not play on the DVD player and the disc is a DVD-R or DVD+R it has to be finalized to make it compatible for playing on a DVD player.  DVD-RW and DVD+RW rewriteable discs do not need this step but they cost more per disc.
