Ive downloaded something to a DVD-R but it wont work

[santakbaby]

Im trying to download a video compilation. ive created it and then saved it to a DVD but then when I play it on a dvd player it doesnt recognise it.
I dont know whats wrong.

Anyone help?

don't know! BUT do want to know how you made the video compilation! I have loads of taped stuff i want to put on DVD but don't know where to start. Just bought new DVD recorder and am baffled by technology!!

not very helpful for you though!

You probably need another application to burn it in a playable format (so it can be played by a DVD player rather than just by a computer).

I use DVD Flick but I imagine there are others.

and not all DVD players (that aren't in a computer) will read recordable discs..

Oh god sounds way too technical.

Kbearing- First you need to download your video footage onto the computer(i used a firewire) basically a lead that goes from your video camera into the pc. Then once its on the pc I used windows movie maker to create it.
