Answer 1

Hi-



I tried at least a half dozen programs unsuccessfully before finding one that worked like a charm the first time. It was very straight forward and simple to use. Now I can turn my Flipcorder files straight to DVD's, it's great! E.M. Total Video2DVD from Effects Matrix is the software.it is an easy-to-use disc authoring and burning software which includes a powerful video converter engine for DVD that lets you do more with your standard or High-Definition digital media. It creates standard DVD discs with personalized menus. They have a free trial so you can make sure that it works for you before you buy.

Good luck!

Most DVDs have to use MPEG-2 or DivX, if you try to directly burn MP4 to DVD or your DVD burner app has no function of converting MP4 to MPEG-2, DivX, you will fail to burn MP4 to DVD disc let alone to play MP4 on DVD player. Even if you have successfully burn MP4 to DVD without converting, you will still encounter issues in playing MP4 on DVD player: Regular standalone DVD players can only read movie DVD's (those are in MPEG-2, and if you view them in Windows Explorer, you see a folder structure with VIDEO_TS, and files like .VOB .IFO and .BUP). Newer DVD players that are DivX-certified can (in addition to the above) read data DVD’s with an AVI file encoded in the DivX codec. Most of the time, you will fail to play MP4 on DVD player unless the DVD players have the "Nero Digital" label on them.
