I burned a dvd from the internet and will play in the dvd drive in the computer but will not play in my philipps dvd player. I do not understand this problem and if it can be solved. also I understand that dvd players can be altered to accept other formats such as pal.Can there be some kind of cross- up between different formats.
-   Its frustrating going through all the work to download, shrink, etc etc. and not have it play in your dvd player. I don' have any of the manuals for my players either to help find the problem. Is it the dvd-r i'm using? Maxell. DVD-R. 4.7GB. 16x. 2Hrs SP Mode-   lasia_40
I use clone DVD to rip commercial or other DVD's I own onto my hard drive, and from there I use nero to burn them on a new DVD.
It works for me. Basically what i'm saying is that as long as you have the right setup of files, in the right DVD file format, your DVD player will be able to play the movie. It doesn't matter if its from the internet. You the files to be in VOB and IFO format, and the Disc needs to have all the files that cue the player on the order of play etc.
I suggest you download CloveDVD or any other DVD ripping software, and note the file breakdown you get on the output, and make sure that what you download looks the same.
Some DVD players offcourse can play VCDs and DIVx formats(many of the .avi are divx), you should know about yours, I dont think you can alter it.
Good luck

Sometimes it is the type of DVD. DVD-R is pretty standard. If you use a DVD+R sometimes you can run into problems with different players. Give DVD-R a shot.
