There could be a few problems here. First, different video players only accept certain types of disks that you can burn on. The older the player, the fewer options there will likely be.

DVD Players also only read certain types of files. So, there is no one way to tell what to use without first knowing the dvd player make and model. Common file types that are acceptable for pictures are jpg and gif. Jpeg is a universal type file, and it can be edited in almost any program.

After you find out what kinds of image files your player can read, your best bet is to use whatever software that came with your dvd burner.

The older the burner, the more likely it will be that you have to use the software that came with it. It would be under programs, and if you are not a frequent user, you may never even have opened the software.

Ugh, right? Media Player will also burn pictures to dvds, and you can even use my computer to burn pictures as long as you have them saved in the right file type.

If you are using dvd r disks, you have to finish or finalize them before trying to play them. Recording on those is a one shot deal.

DVD doesn't work accepts dvd then says loading...

Hey scowtz, if your dvd is a burned copy or has other file formats that are not the most common, or I should say, basic types then it most likely will not play it. TV/DVD Combo's are made with the most basic formats. If you want to play burned copies I suggest get a dvd player and look for the formats that it plays. Usually the format label is printed on the front of the dvd player. However, if your dvd is an original that you bought from a store and it still does not play it, then its an OEM issue. Meaning you need to return it / send it for warranty / or get a replacement. I hate to say it but these dvd players built in to the tv are not the greatest and very basic so the manufactures do not put much effort in building a good quality ones. (This is only an opinion but I use to work at a home theatre dept. at a major electronic store that I probably should not disclose and these issues were common). Get the stand alone dvd players, some are quite cheap and play wide variety of formats and are actually pretty solid players. I hope this helps. Give me a feedback if this does not help. Good luck.

Does sinotec dvd player 8150 play mp4

Will DVD Players play MP4 files?

As we know, most old DVD players only support DVD video on DVD disc, they cannot play any video file not to mention MP4 file. Later, some DVD players can play video files on DVD disc. Even later, many DVD players come with USB ports, users can attach USB drive to it, and it can search and play video files on it. However, the video formats they support are very limited. Because DVD video is some kind of MPEG-2 video, this format is supported by nearly all DVD players. MP4 is newer than AVI format, some players doesn't support MP4 but support AVI. Hence, to play MP4 on DVD Players, we suggest you convert MP4 file to DVD-Players-sensible formats like the MPEG or AVI format.

How can i play a video taken from you tube transfered to a usb then played to a dvd portable because my dvd portable does not recognize it thanks Jun

youtube videos are of .flv extension(flash format).
you have to convert it to a format supported by your dvd player.
To do this download any video converter software like "total video converter" and convert to to a format like Avi, mpegm divx etc. These are supported by all dvd players.

hope this will help...cheers:)

Can I copy photos to a DVD and have it work in a TV? Can I put .jpeg files on a DVD and then put it in a DVD player and have the photos displayed on the TV?

Yes.
Most DVD players made since 1999 are .JPG compatible.
Create your DVD in the computer, without folders...just drag & drop the pic files to the disk for burning, and insure the burner is set to "Finalize" the disk just like making any movie disk.
Your DVD player will recognize the files, and play them in slideshow format.

None of my DVD players will show photos from CD-R photopro (maxell)

What type of pic file are you burning to the CD? What format are you using as a burn profile? Without knowing this, my only guess is your DVD player can't show the pics in the format used, so you need to work around that problem. Shouldn't be too hard, reply back with more info...

You need to convert the .avi files to the MPEG format with software. Just renaming the file will not work.
