DVD Burner & AVI

1402 Views 8 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  doogdoog
Aloha,
I burned some cartoon .avi files for my son and it plays ok on the dvd burner and reader dvd but I cannot play it on the DVD/CD vcr player. I used a DVD-R disk and burned it using my plextor burner using the Roxio Easy CD & DVD
creator using the data disk option. The vcr dvd/cd player says that it has "the ability to play back, may depend on recording conditions". DVD-R, DVD+RW, -RWc and CD-RW. Any suggestions? TIA

Mahalo,

Doogdoog, it sounds like you just burned an avi onto a dvd and tried playing it. If this is true, then you need to convert the file to be playable on your DVD player just as you would convert for VCD.

If your burner came with Roxio Easy CD & DVD, the try DVD Builder, it comes with a tutorial if you need it, but looks like it accepts avi's and will convert for playing on DVD players.

Hope this helps,

MBN
