what is the format of DVD's to play on TV?

Apr 24, 2010 10:06AM PDT

I have several Windows Movie Player files that I would like to convert to DVD format for viewing on a TV. What is the required format and what programs are available to do this? TIA Harry

I use DVD FLICK to make those. See if that helps.

I downloaded and used the DVD FLICK to produce a DVD. When I tried to run it on my DVD player all that appeared on my TV was a spinning disc. There are 2 folders on this DVD 1. AUDIO_TS with no files & VIDEO_TS with 6 files, a VIDEO_TS.BUP 6K, a VIDEO_TS.IFO 6K, a VTS_01_0.BUP 24K, a VTS_01_0.IFO 24K, a VTS_01_1.VOB 1,048,544K and a VTS_01_2.VOB 263,438. What am I doing wrong? TIA - Harry

Some DVD players will have nothing to do with recorded media. Try other DVD players before you burn up more blanks.
