Help with making a DVD

whitefox723 · 07-08-2008, 12:07 PM

Hi

I am new to creating DVD's and can't get one to work. I downloaded a file in MP4 format(audio MP3) and couldn't get anything to convert it.
Then i found a program and converted to AVI.Once done i burnt to disc using Ashampoo Burning Studio 8. It plays on my PC but not my DVD player.
So i converted from AVI to DVD PAL format(MPEG-2) and reburnt. Still no joy.
How do i convert and burn so that it plays on my DVD player. Tried Nero and it won't have it.

Please help. I'm a whiz with music & audio but this is all new to me.

Thanks

Dianne

Try the free program DVDFlick and see if it works.

Yeah I'm sort of new to this as well and i just tried to use DvD Flick last night and it freezes while starting then gives me BSOD saying iaStor.sys had an error, and so i uninstalled my SCPI/RAID host controller because I'm pretty positive I'm not using one, but then it just gives BSOD anyways...

I'm about to reinstall it and see what happens, but if I can't get it to work is there a second best DvD burning program? >.<

Oh and whitefox, you have to look up your dvd player model online or look in your manual to see what formats it will play, I'm not much of a whiz with this either so i cant give you a program to try, but I'm sure if you google what you want to convert you could find a thing or two ^^

And if you find anything, let me know ;}
