Dvd players usually won't recognise WMV files - you need to convert to AVI or Mpeg4.

I think you have just burnt the movie file to a DVD much like you copy a file to a flash drive. This wont play on 90% of DVD players.

You need to convert your original movie file and author a true DVD using DVD authoring software.

Have you got any other burning tools, like Nero? Or windows xp and vista have their own.

What is the original file extension that you downloaded? You may not even need to convert it before burning.

Vob files are the native files of a dvd, you can burn these directly to dvd, but for the player the recognize them you also need the .ifo & .bup , and video.ts files if you don't have these files then you can use the program 'ifoedit' to create them from the vobs, vobs usually are named thus : vts_01_1.vob

I should have look at dvdhelp on the web lots of great tools there.

consider converting to Mpeg2 which some dvd players will play, also Xbox 360 will also play avi's and Divx.

dvd players need various codecs and software on them to read avi wma wmv mp4 etc etc etc

best and simplest thing is use burning software that converts to a playable dvd - with nice menus and chapters n everything

ConvertxtoDVD4 - is a nice wee straightforward dvd build and burn

I use BurnAware for the burning process, and there are thousands of converters out there.

Check what formats your DVD player accepts.

Also, it is worth checking what region your DVD burner in the computer is on, and what region your DVD player is on. If these are different, it will struggle. For the UK, they sould both be region 2, but be cautious when changing your DVD burners region.

you could get yourself something like this

http://direct.asda.com/Asda-HDMI-DVD-Player---Upscales-DVDs-to-Full-1080-HD/000585954,default,pd.html

plays DivX we have one and there great, no need to convert.. these play much anything apart from mp4.

and for about 20 quid its well worth it

I personally use DeVeDe to make discs (i use it on Linux ubuntu although it is also avalible on windows) which writes an .iso file which then needs to written to disc, i haven't needed to convert files beforehand it seems to accept most anything.

If you need a converter, i can recomend 'Mediacoder' which converts most any format to any other format.

Once you've found a system that works for you, i'd say stick to it, it just takes a little bit of trial & error...besides the failed discs make great coasters
