playing problems

[Pyromaniac]

well i burned a video to a dvd + using imgburn but now it won't play at all on anything other than my computer, shouldn't it work on my dvd player?

ImgBurn isn't a conversion program, so, if you didn't burn DVD-Video data (i.e. VIDEO_TS folder, VIDEO_TS.IFO/VOB, etc) it won't play on standard DVD players.

Please give us more details so we can better help you

i made a video_ts folder on the disc but the video is still in wmv format does this make any difference?

The WMV must be converted to DVD-Video format before you can burn to DVD and use on standard DVD players.

After a quick search, I've found a few guides that explain what you need to do.

I don't want to sound stupid but did you finalize the disk

He used ImgBurn to make the DVD, and since ImgBurn doesn't handle multi-session, the disc is always closed/finalized.
