I wonder if anyone can help with this I have a flip recorder and use the old digital camera which I take bits of video on and I want to burn these onto a DVD so that I can watch it on the screen so that I dont have other buggers climbing over me to see it on the laptop.

I have tried burning the video to a DVD disc and burnnt put disc into other computer and it plays but will it play on any DVD or Blueray player? Will it bugger all I get is incompatable notification

This is what I do select video/videos and click the burn button it then pops tray open, I place in a DVD R disc and then hit burn again and it starts and finishs downloading.

Can anyone in simple terms be able to tell me what im possibly doing wrong?

You're burning them as a computer data disc, with video files on. Which is different to burning them to a DVD standards compliant DVD. Hard to explain the differences, but if you've ever burned MP3 files to a CD and then tried playing them in a non-MP3 CD player, it's basically the same thing.

The easy way out is to buy something like ConvertXtoDVD and you'll get one-click burning of pretty much any video into a DVD-compatible format for playback on standalone players. It's not free, but it is pretty cheap (30 quid rings a bell) so if you do this a fair bit and value your time not spent going mad trying to figure out the various conversions yourself, it's a godsend.

Just found something called windows DVD Maker it finds photos ok but wont find videos.

Do I need to change something in the properties of the videos?

Thanks for that

Check out a bit of free software called DVD Flick. Should work for you.

Probably recorded in a format that needs to be converted to another format, so your video can then be burnt.

Plenty of freebie convertor programs available, so you need to know what the recorded format is, ie:- AVS for example, to get it converted.

Good Luck.

DVD Flick does the conversion as well as the iso burn for a large number of file formats.
