DVD will play on computer but not dvd player
In MicroSoft’s documentation, it says that DVD Maker in Windows Vista publishes directly to MPEG-2 format, enabling you to burn DVDs directly from your video camera. And Windows DVD Maker enables you to create professional-looking video DVDs of your home movies and photos that can be viewed on any DVD ripper,and Magic DVD Ripper is good. However, when you use it sometimes you come across problems like this: you convert a TS file into MPEG format on a DVDR by using Windows DVD Maker, but in the end it works only in your computer, but not your DVD player. Of cause you will be confused.
This kind of problem could be explained in two ways. First of all, maybe it’s the problem of the specification. You know a DVDR is not a “DVD”. The outcome will just be a video file if the specification is not right while converting. Then of cause it can be played in your computer only, but your DVD player doesn’t recognize it. It will only be a copy of the video file which is not a real DVD format. To solve this, all you have to do is to change the specification. That is to say you should author the MPEG to DVD specification, namely VOBs( Video Objects), IFOs( Information), and BUPs( Backups) before you convert it, and then they should be placed in a Video_ts folder. Maybe you feel that it is a little troublesome to remember the specs, however, it is quite easy. Most of the software of this kind has the ability of remembering the changes you make on it. Once it is set, the software usually remembers it, so you don’t have to reset it every time you do the converting. To conclude, right clicking the outcome to see if it has two folders: Audio_ts and Video_ts, or else it is wrong. If the outcome does have the folders of Audio_ts and Video_ts, but you still cannot have it worked in your DVD player, then the problem may rest on your DVD player itself. Perhaps your machine is a little picky. It cares the brand of DVDr you use. You can test the outcome in another DVD player to see if it is the problem of your DVD player.
About the specification thing, all you need to do is to read some directions or guides. You can get further detailed information— the tutorial for beginners on www.windowsdvdmaker.com/
