Hi, I'm not sure where to post this; I hope this is the best place!  Why do video clips, that you record on your digital camera, not play on your TV DVD player when you burn them along with JPEG's that do view OK? Thanks - you will stop my brother-in-law from asking me the question every time he sees me.

Standalone DVD players only have to support MPEG-2 in order to play back a commercial DVD. Most players are backwardly-compatible with MPEG-1 and some (usually the cheaper ones surprisingly) also support MPEG-4.
If the encoding format used by the camcorder is other than MPEG-1, 2, or 4, then you don't have a cat in Hull's chance of playing it back as the standalone DVD player doesn't support the required video decoding standard. 
Cheers, Slipstreem.

| Thanks for the reply Slipstream. I just dug out one of his discs; the video files are *.mpg files. So I don't know if they are 2, 1, or 4 ! Is there a way to convert them? Thanks, Speedee

Thanks again Slipstream. I may have been wrong on the format - (he now tells me!!) the problem was things burnt to CD with the HP camera software didn't play on the TV DVD player, but things from his father's Cannon, burnt with Nero did play.  I'll investigate a bit further - the links are great though, will come in useful later on  Speedee

Have you finalised the disks before trying to play them?

| That's a good point, bigdaddy. I thought of that, but as he could see the JPG photos OK, I thought there may be another reason why the vidoe clips didn't work! I may be wrong though, so I will check! Thanks.

| An update, my friend used Nero to burn a couple of VCD's. One worked once only! on his Philips DVD player, and the other with more of a mixture of JPEG's and MPG's didn't work at all! They both worked in his neighbours Cheap £20 ASDA? DVD player, and are OK in my Panasonic DVD HDD recorder, so I reckon it's his DVD player Thanks for your help - I reckon this one's solved edit - typo's!
