Is there any way a DVD player can play burnt CD videos?

Question

I made a video and burned it onto a Memorex CD-RW cd. It plays on the computer (Windows Media Player), and I've tried it in the DVD player, but it just says: "unknown disk".

Is there any way I can play it in the DVD player? Maybe burn the video onto another type of CD?

Answer 1

You have to convert it to VCD files and then burn your CD. I dont know if all DVD players will read CD-RW though. The newer DVDs do but I had a DVD player that was about 5yrs old and it didnt read RW but read regular CDs.



To convert it to VCD files, you can find a trial version of a converter on various websites. Just google VCD converter.

Answer 2

Yes, you can burn video to CD as burning VCD, all DVD player can play VCD.

If you don't know how to do that, I think this guide would help you a lot
