Dvd hi , i download a film 2 my windows media player but wen i burn to a disc and try and play in my dvd player it sez datadisc and wont play , why does it do this ? and how can i get them 2 play?

Hey there danny4c, the program Nero is usually included with the purchase of a dvd burner. This can only help if your film is in the correct format (ISO or VTS). if this is not the case then you will need a file converting program such as ConvertXtoDVD or Winavi. I find having both helps solve most conversion problems. Both of these programs have their own burning abilities. Be careful to indicate the format you need to play on your Player. NTSC or PAL. If your file is already in VTS, in Nero you can go to Nero Express or Vision, and the menus let you decide what kind of disk you will be burning. Choose video on the left and then Dvd-video file on the right. The rest is just following prompts. I hope it helps. Good Luck!

It all depends on wot u used to burn it, and wot type of dvd player u have, there r diff ways to get it to play, on a normal dvd player u will either need to encode the movie file into a vcd and put it on a cd or encode to dvd format and burn it onto a dvd using programs like nero or roxio
