I cant burn wmv to a dvd

[ballin1]

For some reason i cant get the wmvs ive burned to my dvd to play in any dvd players. The videos show up when I put the dvd in my laptop and open windows media player but when I put them in a dvd player I only get an error like there are no videos on the dvd. Do I need to covert them or what? Thanks for all the help.

Hi and welcome to the forum, ballin1!

 

Most stand alone players will require that the files on the burned disc is in DVD video format.

 

You could use this program to convert the source file.

Ok so i downloaded dvdflick but what do I do now? I dont see what you use to convet files?

[Cynthia]

Start DVD Flick

Press the button 'Guide'

ok so I converted my wmv using that program and then took that file from where i had it saved and then burned that file and still nothing happens. The file still wont play on my dvd player. Any other suggestions?

Can you post the burning log from that burn?

 

Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

Would you care to share whatever you did with the rest of us?

So after I converted the file it gets saved to the specified folder on the bottom of the program. When it gets saved it goes DVD>dvd>AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS. When you add it to imgburn you need to add the file dvd and not go into the folders and look for the specific wmv. Just add the whole folder. Before i tried adding the specific file and not the dvd folder. Hope that helps.
