Hi,
I have a question and I wanted to know if you could help me. Here I'm finally done with my reel. I worked it in Final Cut Pro and then I convert it into a Quicktime file before burning it into a DVD disk. But now I'm having this problem that it does not plays in a regular DVD player. I tried two of them and it wouldn't work. Is there any kind of information you can give me to solve this problem? Am I suppous to save it or convert it into a different format for it to play on a regular DVD player for a TV? and if I need a different format, how exactly do I do that?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thx,
Daniela

Reel Problem!
I've run into this before on older DVD players. Sometimes they have trouble reading a burned disc. How old are the DVD players you tried?
You should also make sure that your settings allow the disc to be read by the appropriate Region player. Different parts of the world have different Region players. I usually make my discs playable by any Region.
sorry-- i'm just assuming from what's on your post.
did you just burn the quicktime file as it is on your dvd disc
or did you use a dvd authoring program to convert your
quicktime to a mpeg2 file or vob file?
does the dvd play on your computer using a dvd player
software like windvd or powerdvd?
try using other dvd media if you have successfully burned
a dvd disc that doesn't play on a standalone player but
plays on your computer.
Don't worry. All shall be well.
First you have to save your movie to DVD-friendly files;
then you have to write to DVD-video format.

Did you try burning your files to a DVD+R and a DVD-R? There are a lot of older DVD players out there that can read one type of disk, but not the other (newer ones will read both). Also, you may want to try using a different brand of disk.The dyes used on the DVDs for recording by some manufactures are not easily read by lower-end players. Just remember to play your burned disks in as many different DVD players as possible before you deem them to be a failure or success.
Don't forget, all of those unusable CDs/DVDs work well as drink coasters :D

Why would they even MAKE two types of DVD's??? Seems really dumb to me, as they do the same thing. Why not just make one kind that works in EVERY player?

It has to do the international conferences, trade, and black market issues. There is also a developement curve to the hardware with each generation made to support new features, that the industry has chosen to include into their DVD player products.
Just wait, in a few years the DVD's will be high definition so whatever you got will be as current as vinyl records.
