Answer 3

maybe you didn't burn the file properly...

or maybe that file will work IF your dvd player is divx...

Answer 4

Some DVD players cannot read certain formats (e.g. HDVD). So it's likely ur one can't read wmv. formats. U can save it as a VCD format.

Answer 5

Because it's a .wmv, and nothing reads those.  And you don't just "save" a video to a DVD and expect it to work, you have to burn it.
