Transferring video clips to dvd

[soir]

Afternoon All.

I'm still struggling to download video clips to a DVD+R (?) disk. I'm able to download it in data format but this will only play on another pc - won't allow mw to play on a dvd player.

Anyone have any suggestions (Please bear in mind I'm really not very technical !)

Also, the clips I have are MPEG 3 layer format in my video files, can open via either media or nero...

many thanks!!

You need a DVD authoring application, you cannot just copy the movie file over.

Something like Adobe Encore or Sonic MyDVD

The structures of a set top box DVD-Video disk are very specific. These applications will create the properly transcoded files to play on your set top box.

Use DVD Shrink 3.2, should do that and it is free...

Also depends if your dvd player is +r compatible

I'm having a few similar problems with this,how can you tell what type/format of blank DVD (+,- etc) the rewriter on your PC uses (Obviously it doesn't mention this in the idiot guide).

Any help appreciated on this one.
